This was a good addition to the Eve Duncan world even though she was not in it. Recurring characters fleshed out more, mainly Judd Morgan.

Pretty standard Iris Johansen novel. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Nothing too special. Light nice read.

I really liked this novel. There was plenty of intrigue and action to keep me turning pages. Although, it is marked as an Eve Duncan book and she isn't in the book at all. This was my first Iris Johansen novel and I plan to read more.

While not technically part of a series, this book contains some characters that are parts of Johansen’s other series/books: John Logan, Sarah and Monty, and President Andreas. I think a few of the others are also recurring characters, but since this is only the 3rd Johansen book I’ve read, I don’t know for sure.
Anyway, this was just okay for me. I found Alex to be laughably naive for a world-traveling news photographer, and her naiveté is heavily acknowledged in the book, but it’s just not believable. And the conspiracy was wrapped up a little too neatly at the end. I would have liked the book to be a little more about Morgan than about Alex, and for there to be a little less character name-dropping (how many times does Elena’s pregnancy have to be brought up? She’s never even a direct character in the book!)
