The Killing Game by Iris Johansen

Good twists and turns of plot, emotions are a bit overwrought.

This was a very suspenseful book. I didn't see the ending coming. It was a very fast page turner. I really enjoyed this book.

Eve Duncan is back. And this time, she's the hunted one.

I'm quite disappointed with this book, to be honest. Too much... drama. And I think Eve just got more boring. While Joe Quinn is one overprotective, coddling and irritating guy.

I enjoy the chase, the action, the puzzle, the surprise towards the end. Everything else is just somewhat crappy and sloppy. The first book is much better.

Whoa... that ending!!!

I didn't think I'd end up saying this, but The Killing Game was definitely creepier - for me - than the first book in the Eve Duncan series. But again, very good, and very believable.

Spoiler

And Eve and Joe!! D'awww... so adorable. ♥ Although the fact that Joe has been self-admittedly "obsessed" with Eve for 10 years is a little creepy... and his reason for marrying Diane was also a little creepy... but he seems like a good guy and like he's good for Eve and always has been.

And Jane!! Oh my gosh, I loved her.

Definitely recommend this series. :)

Apparently I've read this book 3 times and keep forgetting to mark it read over here.

As soon as I started, everything seemed familiar ... but I decided to keep on going. It's a very good story.

I've had this series on the back burner for a while now, and it's nice to finally get to it.

3.5 rounded up to 4. another good mystery; i do love a good psychopath! sometimes the dialogue gets a bit weary, and i can't say i'm super interested in the romance bit of the plotlines (i go to evanovich's stephanie plum series for the ridiculous love triangle guilty pleasure reading ;)), but i'll def keep reading this series! eve duncan's work is fascinating, hope for lots more detail regarding forensics in future books.
