A review by heatherjkirk
Stalemate by Iris Johansen

4.0

I have loved iris johansen since I was a teenager. My only problem that plagued me as I continued to read her Eve Duncan series was how does so much drama and life challenging adventures follow one person around? And in the last several years, I find the phrase shut him out (as in Eve hates to shut joe out, Eve must shut Joe out, Joe expects Eve to shut her out, Joe gets mad Eve shuts her out, etc) and it just aggravates me because I like the characters, like the series, and hate that everyone is always "shut out". Characters grow and relationships evolve and I feel after longer than a decade, Joe and Eve's relationship should have too, especially by the end of Bonnie.
