I got a Great Story and a Good dose of Forensic Science

My good friend told me about this book, since she knew I got "hooked" on the field of forensic medicine after watching a certain tv show. Tv is fine, but for me nothing is better than a good novel that can weave a story around a subject that I'm interested in. Anyway I thought "Stalemate" was a fantastic novel and the forensic professor Eve Duncan was just the character I was looking for to keep me hooked on the field of forensic science. I was thrilled with the author's detailed descriptions of this field and way she just pulled me into this fascinating story. In summary, I really enjoyed this novel and plan to buy more of Iris Johansen books.

Waiting for the Next Book

The Eve Duncan series is ful of searching for her daughter, and danger.

This book was much better then Countdown, but not as good as the first three.

As for the new possible love interest, I am tired of Eve and Joe their romance has played out to the end, and now it is time for her to venture out.

I want the next book to come out so I can see if Luis told her where bonniw is.

Starts slow, ends well....

This was pretty good, however the first few chapters are dryer than 2 day old toast. Once you get past the dry toasty bits it is good. The longer you read it the better it gets. Action, adventure, and a little heat.. this book has it. I just wish it had ended better. When is Eve going to get some closure already?

I like Iris Johansen's books. I'm in the process of finishing all of her suspense collection. Writing is okay, characters are good & I find myself looking for the recurring characters. Johansen has a way of making the reader feel as if these recurring characters are old friends. One thing about her writing that really bugs me though is the over usage of some phrasing - almost makes me wonder if she has a saved list of these, that she just pastes in as needed: "She moistened her lips" "His lips tightened" "Her hands clinched into fists at her sides". Kinda drives ya nuts after reading several of the books. Also, fillers such as making & drinking coffee & taking showers, seem redundant.
Books are a quick & easy read, nothing too deep, & easy to figure plots. Descriptions of romance are well done, and Johansen keeps me turning those pages.
I liked Stalemate. I really like Eve & Joe, but if Joe really is Eve's soulmate & best friend, she didn't treat him as such in this book. I'd like to see Montalvo return & make good on his promise to Eve. I ALSO would like to see him become involved with someone other than Eve. I'm routing for my Eve & Joe!
