Pandora's Daughter by Iris Johansen
5.0
I'd never read an Iris Johansen novel until I received an email from one of the lists I'm on with an excerpt from this novel, Pandora's Daughter. By the end of the excerpt I was hooked and had to rush out and buy a copy to see what happens. I can only recall doing this once before.
Pandora's Daughter is the story of Dr. Megan Blair who was orphaned at age 15 when her mother was murdered. All her life she'd heard voices and her mother tried tell her otherwise. Megan had to be 'normal'. Everything changed with her mother's death and she went to live with her uncle. The voices went away, just as her mother had predicted. All these years later, the voices are back and that's not a good thing.
Johansen's writing is just the way I like it. Minimal, straight to the point. No fluff. No frills. She writes endearing characters. The kind that you want to comfort when things go wrong, as if they were real people you know. The suspense is tight and never gives an inch. Just when you think you know what's next, you don't and everything changes.
