If you have been reading the story of Eve, Joe, and Bonnie...then you MUST go NOW and get this book!! If you like romantic suspense (more suspense than romance), then you should really check out this series.
Backstory: Eve Duncan is a forensic sculptor whose daughter Bonnie was apparently the victim
In "Quicksand", Joe has a good lead on one of Bonnie's possible killers. The killer is a true whack-job and delights in taunting Eve with each new kill. At points in this book, I wanted to smack Eve. For such a strong, intelligent woman, she has some definate stupid moments. Eve also has to deal with Montalvo (prior book). She's still strongly attracted to Montalvo, but cherishes what she has with Joe. In "Quicksand", Eve finally realizes that her obsession with Bonnie may be damaging her current relationships and just how far she's willing to go to "bring Bonnie home".

Most of Johansen's Eve Duncan books are "dark"; this is no exception. Quicksand is a page turner and very suspenseful. Johansen brings back the major character in her last novel,("Pandora's Box"), psychic "Listener" Megan Blair. Her involvement in the search adds an interesting dimension to the story and sets the stage for another installment in the series.

Another great Eve Duncan thriller! I love the simply written, action packed books in this series. Full of twist and turns and adventure from start to finish. Even if this is your first Eve Duncan read, you wont have any problem following alone. Iris does a great job of filling you in on all the
Quicksand starts out with the surveillance of possible child murderer Henry Kistle. Joe gets a tip from Montalvo (from a prior book) that Kistle may be involved in the disappearance of Eve's daughter Bonnie. Joe finds him a small town in Illinois. He calls the local sherrif and asks him to keep a watch on Kistle until he gets there. The sherrif is no match for Kistle, a trained killer. He murders the sherrif , hides his body and takes his phone. He finds Joe and Eve's number in the memory and discovers who they are. Kistle begins playing a cruel game with Eve that will end in his torturing and eventually killing Eve and everyone close to her. At least that was his plan.
Joe finds himself in an all out race against the local police, FBI, and Montalvo to capture Kistle and bring Bonnie's body home. Joes relationship with Eve is strained as of late. When Montalvo comes back into Eve's life , Joe is beside himself with jealously. He know's that Eve has a connection with Montalvo. She is drawn to him physically and mentally. Joe is afraid that if Montalvo delivers Kistle it will seal his fate with Eve.

I always enjoy Iris Johansen's Eve Duncan books, and this one didn't disappoint. I think it was a little harder for me to read emotionally since the killer was dangling the possibility of finding Eve's daughter, Bonnie, in front of her. Definitely a very suspenseful story with a surprising ending.

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.

Overall, I thought that this was a great book. I felt it lagged in certain areas in the sense that it just kept going on and on. I found myself skimming those areas looking for quotation marks because I knew that a character was speaking again. The plot is very well written and although I felt it

took some time to get the ball rolling, once it did, the lead up to the climax was everything and more than I expected. It was a good book with a great plot and definitely draws you in and doesn't let go, even after you've read the last sentence. Looking forward to reading the next book in this series. Show Less

This one, I really enjoyed. It started out a little on the meek side for Eve, but I was pleased to see her evolve into the strong character that she deserves to be. I would have liked to see her more humble and less selfish. Her relationship with Joe is on thin ice and it seems like it may be
