The #1 bestselling author delivers the first in a trilogy that will begin to answer questions that have haunted her legion of fans for over a decade, in her newest novel of breathtaking suspense
Eve Duncan's mission in life is to bring closure to the families who have experienced the agony of a missing child. As a forensic sculptor, she is able to piece together bones, create a face, and bring an identity to a child who would have otherwise gone unidentified... maybe forever. Eve is brilliant, and driven, and tormented--because her own daughter, Bonnie, was taken from her years ago. And Eve has never discovered what happened to her. But now a name from the past resurfaces, thanks to CIA agent Catherine Ling who knows all too well what it's like to lose a child.
After teaming up with Agent Ling to find her missing son, Eve and Catherine share a bond forged by their mutual pain. Now, Catherine challenges Eve with a name: John Gallo. A man from Eve's past. A man, seemingly raised from the dead, whose whereabouts are unknown. Could Gallo be the missing piece to the puzzle that has haunted Eve for years? Why was he in Atlanta just before Bonnie's disappearance? With a brilliant narrative that goes back to Eve Duncan's early life, exploring her history and motivations like no other novel before, Eve reveals long-guarded secrets and is guaranteed to leave Johansen fans panting for more... soon to come in Quinn.
My Review:
Oh, boy, this book has been a long time coming. The mystery of Bonnie's disappearance, and of Eve and Bonnie's father together, quite a powerful read! I really enjoyed it!
It was actually quite sad, thought awe-inspiring, Eve at 16 wanted to get out, her mom had gotten pregnant with her at 15, and then she didn't want to repeat the cycle. But then Bonnie came, and she was happy. And that was just amazing!
The bad guys were really evil. It was like they had no morals, that they didn't care about anybody else but themselves, and put others at risk for their own gain, like the mission that led Eve and John's uncle to believe that John was dead. Yep.
The ending? Of who killed Bonnie? Fantastic! Amazing! Wonderful! Heart-wrenching, and hopefully some plot twist so it isn't who it was named to be because that would be just horrible! And yet, make a perfect kind of sense.
This was an amazing book, so I hope you guys will check it out!
