Dialogue was unrealistic and stiff. Situation with the child (Kelly) was uncomfortable and unbelievable.

It's clear that the series has grown stale. The past two books were more of a shootoff, and worked and were interesting but now that Eve is back doing her thing, it's just that. Typical plot thats becoming overcrowded with it's own stereotypes. Yes, we get a possible clue to who the killer of boonie is but we've still got a name left on the list from like 4 books ago and that isn't counting those two off shoots.

It was ok. I would have enjoyed more if I had read the first 10. Even though I didn't, I still found it entertaining but didn't have the feeling to buy the rest.

Eve Duncan is one of the best forensic sculptors in the world. This is why when CIA agent, Catherine Ling need someone to help her learn the truth about her son, Luke, she turns to Eve. Cause only the best will do for Catherine.

Nine years ago, Luke was kidnapped by Sergei Rakovac. Sergei is one of the most powerful members of the Russian mafia. All this time, Catherine has wondered if Luke is dead or alive. Sergei can not be touched. He made a deal with the CIA. In exchange for helping Catherine; Catherine will help Eve learn the truth about what happened to her daughter, Bonnie.

It has been a long while since I have read an Iris Johansen novel. Chasing the Night has me wondering why it took me so long between the last book and this one. It was not long once I sat down to start reading that I was instantly hooked. Eve makes forensic sculpting intriguing. Catherine is like the female version of Rambo. She comes in blazing with guns and lots of attitude to boot. Eve and Catherine make a great team. They are Thelma and Louise, only they don’t die. There was lots of butt-kicking action going on in this book. Chasing the Night almost had me reading finishing this book through the night.

It took me awhile to get into the book but it ended up being one of the better Eve books. Now I can start on the trilogy that hopefully we answer all the questions.

I enjoyed it. Liked the strong female characters. Had a few twists. Listened to the unabridged audio version on a couple road trips to the cities. I will be checking out more of her books.

Filler book. 2.5 stars. I liked Kelly Winters. I'd like more stories about her.

rather than try putting books in a 'not interested' folder, I'm going to claim I read them and give a low rating. Putting in not interested, the algorithm seems to think I like the book.
