I was just introduced to this book series recently and I listened to the audiobook of the first one while driving for work out of town this past week.
THE FACE OF DECEPTION by Iris Johansen, read by Laurel Lefkow. This series currently has 28 books in it and another 3 book series that comes off of it.
Eve Duncan is a forensic sculptor that helps to identify the dead by their skulls. Her own daughter murdered and her body never found, this is a personal way to come to terms with her own nightmare. Her most recent case has her reconstructing a skull nobody was supposed to ever see again and someone is determined to make sure she doesn’t live to tell about it.
I plan to read through the rest of them but unfortunately my library only has about five random books from this series as audiobooks but they seem to have them all as ebooks so I’ll switch between the two.
It’s really good and I highly recommend it. 5 stars! I didn’t realize it until after I was finished, but there’s no bad language, blood and gore, or romance. Those things don’t bother me but I know some prefer books without those things so I can recommend this one to them. I didn’t even miss any of it, it’s just a good story and well told.
