The Killing Game

Summary: Face of Deception/The killing Game
Review: Iris Johansen's books are so interesting, I have a hard time putting them down. The character Eve is such a strong willed woman. Although I would have preffered an entirly different ending..

Summary: Dumb, dumber, dumbest!
Review: This has to be the most unbelievable premise for a book. What a waste of energy. Who could possibly believe Eve's involvement in this farce without the benefit of the sanction of the authorities. Secondly, who would allow her to conduct her own personal investigation with her closeness to the killer in relationship to her daughter's death. Also, no one is ever monitoring the calls on the digital. Eve simply reiterates what is said when she feels "up to it." Give me a break. This heroine is no heroine. Boring at best.

Summary: Gripping story but not as good as the 1st book.
Review: I love all Irish Johansen's books and have to pre-order via the internet in order to get The Killing Game. It was not as thrilling as the 1st book and the ending was quite a surprise. I hope there is a 3rd book as there seems to be a few issues which are not resolve. Is there going to be a story on John Logan and Sarah!

Summary: Get rid of this depressing, self-pitying character!
Review: What I can't figure out, is why any one man would want Eve, let alone two! Morbid, miserable, self-centered, and not even any physical appeal. Or at least that's the way Eve is portrayed. I guess the story will continue into another sequel--but, not for me. The dangling endings to these 2 Eve books only left me angry! Goodbye, Ms. Johansen!

Summary: Gripping story.I couldn't put it down until it was completed
Review: This book is one of the best books that I have read in a long time.It grabs you and until the last sentence you are right there with the characters.I can't wait to read another of her stories and yet I am savoring the last...

Summary: Weak beginning, weak plot
Review: After reading Face of Deception I was really disappointed in The Killing Game. The plot was very weak. The fact that Joe came to get Eve to sculpt the childs skull was not good. Duh, Eve has a lab on the Island, bring her the skull. The romance part of this book was lacking also. I was very disappointed that the romance with Logan did not continue they had a good chemistry. Overall after reading the first book about Eve so much more could have been done with this one. It was very disappointing to say the least. In Face of Deception Eve was a strong women, in this she becomes weak.

Summary: Made the trip to LA worthwhile
Review: I read this book on my plane trip to LA and was disapointed when the plane landed because I had only four pages left to read. When I did get to them I was pleasantly surprised. Ms. Johansen mixes the romance with the mystery well, not an easy task to do. I was expecting the romance part to ruin the mystery, but instead it actually contributes to the suspense. I loved it, just as I have all the ones before. Although, I wish we got a small taste of the next book as we did with this one at the end of Face of Deception.

Summary: This is definitely Not the Iris I know!
Review: I hate to say this, but I really HATE her recent novels! So long, draggy, impersonal and VERY,VERY BORING! I'm sure a new direction is good, but I think she should concentrate on what she is good at. When I got my hands on this book, I was anticipating a good book, like the many good books precedenting this one. However this was a BORE! I gave up in frustration halfway through the book. People, spare your time ,and don't read this.It's so agonizing that a trip to the dentist seems like a better idea!Iris was and still is one of my favourite writers, I just wish she'd write something befitting of her talent again!

Summary: A REAL GREAT ROMANCE/SUSPENSE READ!! DON'T MISS IT!
Review: Iris Johansen outdid herself on this one. It had everything a reader could want, romance and mystery. The characters were all very likable and I couldn't wait until the end. I thought I had figured it out several times but I was still surprised at the end. I read her book before this one "The Face of Deception" and as soon as I finished it I got right on my computer to Amazon and ordered this one. AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!!
