Description

"When Eve Duncan gave birth to Bonnie, she experienced a love she never knew existed. Eve's entire life came into focus (delete reference to forensics--that happened later, right?--) and nothing was going to stand in the way of giving her daughter a wonderful life--the kind of life she herself never experienced. And then, the unthinkable happened. On an ordinary class trip to a local park, seven-year-old Bonnie vanished. Eve found herself in the throes of a nightmare that permeated her days and nights, and from which there was no escape. But a new Eve emerged: a woman who would use her remarkable talent as a forensic sculptor and her passion for helping others to find closure when the unthinkable happens to their child. A woman who would stop at nothing to find her own daughter's killer and bring her body home. A woman with both justice and vengeance on her mind. Finally, in the trilogy that began with EVE and continued with QUINN, comes the story that fans have been dying to read. With the help of her beloved Joe Quinn and CIA Agent Catherine Ling, Eve Duncan gets closer and closer to answering the questions that have tormented her. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes that Bonnie's father, John Gallo, is a key player in solving this monstrous puzzle. And that Bonnie's disappearance was not as random as everyone had always believed. Eve, Joe, Catherine, and John find themselves in a deadly dance where answers will be uncovered, and justice might finally be served-- if they can all stay alive long enough to make it happen"--… (more)

There was more twist and man hunt for the suspects to taking Bonnie. But I realy did not thought about the person that taken bonnie was the one that did. I was a real shock to me.

The book begins with a flashback describing the last night shared between Eve and Bonnie. Then the book moves quickly to the chase. Joe, Eve, Catherine Ling and John Gallo resume their hunt. Eve is captured and taken away from the others and is forcibly led through a Georgia state park. It's quite

a journey. During this trip she has moments of hope and anticipation. There are also moments of despair and disbelief. Through this treacherous journey Eve learns exactly what happened to Bonnie that last day in the park.

This was sheer determination or stupidy on my part but I had to finish this trilogy, just to see what happend to Bonnie. I have to say, the ending was lame...but as far as I was concerned so was the beginning back at book one. To go through 3 books, and find out that is how she died, was very dissapointing. If you read "Eve" and "Quinn" then you can skip the first 2 chapters of "Bonnie" because all it does it re-cap. This book is totally metaphysical and actually, quite boring. It examines all of the characters' feelings and history, but it doesn't endear them to us. I hope Iris Johansen, who has proven in the past to be an excellent writer, never does this to her fans again.
