The Eve
Ducan series is a new favorite of mine. MIND GAME
is book 22 in the series and pulls focuses to Jane MacGuire
and Seth Caleb. I love when Iris Johansen lets other
characters take the front seat for a book, allowing Eve
enough time to breathe.
Jane spends nights waking in terror from a recurring dream
about a young girl begging for help. As the nights turn to
weeks, Jane's dreams get more gutwrenching and she struggles
to find the identity of the girl. Her work life is hitting
a stride, but these repeated visions leave Jane with more
questions than answers and a faint realization that time is
of the essence -- in more ways than one.
I have to admit I struggled a bit with MIND GAME. The story
moved slowly and I was disappointed to see another crime
involving a young girl in peril. After spending three
previous books with Eve trying to save the young
Cara Delaney from getting killed this book felt like an
unnecessary rehash. I thought Johansen created rich,
enticing characters, but she did leave me wishing for a
different crime in the story.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a new
explosive thriller.
Mind Game takes Jane MacGuire back to Scotland where she
continues her search for the treasure she’s been chasing for
years. But now she’s being plagued by dreams of a girl in
danger. Who is this girl, and what is she trying to tell
Jane? And will Jane figure it out before it’s too late—for
her and the mysterious young woman? Things are further
complicated when Seth Caleb comes back into Jane’s life.
This time he’s the one in trouble, and Jane will find
herself pulled unexpectedly into his world as she fights to
save him.
With the adventure, intrigue, and explosive energy that Iris
Johansen fans love, Mind Game is a high-octane thriller that
readers won’t be able to put down.
