Body of Lies by Iris Johansen

3.0

Eve Duncan is a forensic sculptor, one of the best in her field. She takes a skull and re-creates the person it once was. As Eve says, she brings the dead home. So it's no surprise when Senator Melton won't stop pestering her to do a reconstruction on a skull found in the Louisina bayou.



Turmoil at home brings Eve to take the job Melton is offering. Work has always been what she needs to make her forget reality. Someone is trying to keep Eve from finishing the job, though. Even as her friends try to form a protective web around her, death keeps invading from all sides. Will Eve or one of her loved ones be the next victim?



This is another great suspense novel in Johansen's Eve Duncan series. I haven't even come close to reading them in order, and it doesn't make that much of a difference to each book. The details of her personal life change and progress, but each mystery is in it's own nutshell.



Body of Lies was a fast and entertaining read. I have been reading a lot of period books lately, and it was nice to be in the fast-paced present. My rating: 3/5
