Eve by Iris Johansen

2.0

If you are reading this thinking that you will (finally!) find out the identity of Bonnie's killer...think again.

Sigh.

I *get* that Johansen has built her main character with a huge chunk of Eve's drive and reason for living all about finding Bonnie's killer...but how many more books will she be able to draw it out? My guess? 2 more. (Since Eve is the first book of a "trilogy"--followed by Quinn, where I guess we'll be able to understand why Joe is willing and able to be so pussy-whipped even though Eve pisses him off most of the time; and then finishing with "Bonnie" where we'll see...I have no idea.)

So, so of the good things: we find out about Bonnie's conception and Eve's life in the 'hood before she got knocked up.

Um. Yeah.

Some annoying things: the way Eve keeps referring to Jane as, "my adopted daughter" or "Jane MacGuire...my daughter". Duh! Everyone knows who the hell Jane is. The cast of eleventy-bajillion characters. I can't keep them all straight. The ever-present "evil empire" government employees. Really? It sounds like everyone who works for the feds is dirty.

So, will I read the others? Yep, because I want to finish the story once and for all...and I'm a glutton for punishment.
