Quicksand

I love Iris Johansen's books. I was on the edge of my seat with this one the whole time. Montalvo is such an interesting man, but Miquel is my favorite character in this book. This is fast paced and action packed. ( )

I was skeptical at first as I was having trouble getting through the first 30 pages or so. Once, I was past that, I read the rest of the book in less than a day. It was a great physcological thriller and really left you hanging on the edge of your seat to read the next page. ( )

Another in the "Bonnie" series

VERY GOOD

This was another really good read in the Eve Duncan series, although I still find myself getting tired of Eve on occasion. I was happy to see a reappearance of Montalvo, was a little perked up by the fact that Joe Quinn grew a new backbone in this story, and was really excited by the part that Megan Blair played in the story (see PANDORA'S DAUGHTER).

I know that Eve needs to find the body of her daughter, Bonnie, for closure. I know that she's obsessed with this task. But, sometimes, you just want to smack her for letting it ruin so many other aspects of her life.

Many times throughout QUICKSAND I had to wonder what either Joe or Montalvo see in this woman -- I think she'd drive me batty. No matter what happens in the long run, though, I hope to see more of a paranormal aspect to the storyline: and it seems that there will be, what with the way the story ends.

If you're a follower of the Eve Duncan series, you'll want to read this one. It's good overall, and you can always hope that Montalvo comes to his senses and looks for a new woman to obsess over soon. ( )
