Didn't see that ending coming! I don't like how we have to re-hash everything that has happened in the series and who is who. We are on book 19 now, we know what's going on!! It just slows the story down!

Shadow Play is my first Iris Johansen book. Crime solving + paranormal, yes!
I skimmed certain parts (mostly the heated exchanges between characters) I found to be annoying other than that I did enjoy reading it.

I received this as an ARC from Netgalley late last week. It was my "Labor Day weekend" reading and I could not put it down!
I have read many (all?) of the Eve Duncan novels! As always, love Johansen's work and the way she builds suspense.
Eve doing the reconstruction of a child's skull ... I liked the way Eve was able to connect with Jenny (as she had been able to with her own daughter, Bonnie). I love Joe as a character and his relationship with Eve.
This was a fast read but still intense and suspenseful. Loved the use of paranormal.
This book was a real page turner. If you love Johansen, go read it! Even if you've never read her work or the Eve Duncan series, read it anyway. It would function well as a stand alone!
Thank you Netgalley & St. Martin's Press for my ARC copy. It was my pleasure to read it and give you my honest review!

Yeah, reading the first new Eve book in a while for me! So great, and that ending, oh! I need to read more!

Disappointed. There seems to be a good plot except that the conversations/dialogue is just bad. And the story didn't flow well.

Picked this up without knowing it was part of a series until I was half way threw the first chapter.
In general that wasn't too much of an issue, however it just meant that understanding some of the backstories and interactions/introductions of some of the characters was more of a "just go with it" as they had been explained/introduced in previous books. This was my first time reading a Thriller (normally I mainly read fantasy), and overall it was pretty good.
The ghost thing was kinda weird and I was totally not expecting it based on the dust jacket summery Other than that I thought that the characters were well written, and that the pacing was good. Not my favourite book of all time but good enough that I'll look to see if my library has more from the series.
