The Face Of Deception by Iris Johansen
4.0
I think this was my first read by Johansen. I regret not having read her books sooner. She's got serious mystery/suspense/thriller chops.
I'm not sure about a forensic sculptor being a longlasting character because her field of expertise seems so limited, but it was interesting to learn a bit about how that job is done and how personally involved (for lack of a better term) Eve Duncan got involved with the skulls she worked on.
The premise was a bit over the top (but I won't divulge here) although it certainly is plausible except for the extreme difficulty of keeping "the secret" secret from everyone in the White House. I'll definitely read another Eve Duncan story before passing judgment on the long-term viability of the series. (Despite there already being a large handful of Eve Duncan books in print. :-) ) Better late than never.
