Eh. The characters were YUK in this. I really hated them all, except Kendra, she's a good character. Hope to see her again. Joe and Eve were fine but Beth and everyone else were very unlikable.

Sleep No More is part of the long-running Eve Duncan series by Iris Johansen. However, in this book readers are introduced to profiler Kendra Michaels. Therefore, this book is also marketed as #1.75 of the Kendra Michaels series. Eve is a forensic sculptor and has proved instrumental time and again at bringing closure to families as she restores faces of their lost and missing, mostly children. In this case, she is asked by her mother Sandra to help her find a missing friend named Beth Avery.
Eve questions her mother as to why she won't just go to the police. Sandra is determined not to and continues to appeal to Eve for help. As Eve, along with husband Joe, a cop, yet so much more, they discover the woman's location. Sandra is slow to providing answers about Beth, but Eve soldiers on to try and find answers. Coming up dry, Eve seeks the help of Kendra Michaels. Kendra is a remarkable woman, blind for years but due to a surgery has had her sight restored. During her years in the dark she honed her other senses to near perfection, thus having amazing deductive skills. Now, with the power of sight restored, Kendra is sharper than ever and proves invaluable to helping Eve find answers.
I love getting to know Kendra and her exceptional ability to decipher clues. Her relationship with Eve is wonderful and they work well together. As is always the case in these books by Johansen, danger is always close at hand. Bonnie, Eve's deceased daughter, has a role in this book as she has in most of the Eve Duncan stories. This was a thrilling fast-paced read that I actually read while reading the first series.

This is only getting 3 stars b/c of the suspense...it kept me sucked in. But I'm really not sure why: Johansen is getting a bit repetitive with her plots. Family member in trouble? Check. Eve putting herself in danger against Joe's advice? Check. Presidential candidate involved? Check. Crazy dangerous killer? Check.
Seriously, didn't Catherine Ling just save a good presidential candidate? Guess that doesn't count since it wasn't technically an "Eve Duncan" book.
The timeline really bugs me too. It's been totally thrown off. Eve had Bonnie when she was 16, and Bonnie died at age 7. That puts Eve at 22. I'm pretty sure it had been 7 years since Bonnie's death when the FIRST Eve Duncan book came out. That puts Eve at 29. She was with Logan for a year. 30. She finally gets with Joe and adopts Jane (little cloudy on the timeline here since it's been awhile since I read the early books)...we'll be generous and say she's still 30. Jane was 10. Pretty sure at last count, Jane was in her mid-twenties. Again, I'll be generous and say early 20s. That puts Eve at least at 42. And if I was being more accurate, probably older than that.
So let's look at "Sleep No More." Beth had her accident at 17. At one point, it says she's been in the hospital for two decades, which would make her 37 (although they lose a decade halfway through the story and say she's been in the hospital for ten years). She's at least a year older than Eve, so that makes Eve 36. See why this drives me crazy???
And really...I could go on. Don't get me started about Catherine Ling and John Gallo and THEIR ages!!!
So as you can see, I spent most of the book stewing about Eve's age discrepancy. If Johansen had put a little caveat at the beginning and said she messed with the timeline a bit (SEP did it and I was fine with it), I would have accepted it and moved on. Grrr.

I really liked some parts. I have a feeling that this book was used to set up quite a few more books in the future.

Eve Duncan has found out she has a step sister and is trying to save her life. Very good book with many twists and turns. Sure glad I wasn't Eve with a rattlesnake in a coffin!!!
