Title: Smokescreen (Eve Duncan #25)
Author: Iris Johansen
Stars: 4 1\2
Review:
I haven't read a lot in the Eve Duncan series so when characters are bought up it takes some time for new readers to remember who they are. The story starts off heart breaking but soon readers are on a non stop rid that will keep readers wanting ore even after 25 books in the Eve series.
The author introduces new characters in the series or at least this readers hopes they will become part of the series.
The story keeps readers on their toes with how the characters are able to evolve and become read to those fans of the series.
The characters grow, develop, they are they stay stagnant as they find the truth in every single book even when the truth isn't what they were looking for. The Passion that Eve and the other characters are able to bring the story to feel real.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher Grand Central Publishing for the advance copy of Iris Johansen Smokescreen.
Synopsis:
A journalist shows up on Eve Duncan's doorstep with a plea for help. Jill Cassidy has just come from a small African village with a heart wrenching story: half the villagers--many of them children--have been killed in a horrific attack by guerilla soldiers, the bodies burned beyond recognition. Now, the families desperately need Eve's help to get closure and begin to heal.
But when Eve arrives in the remote jungle, she begins to suspect that Jill's plea may have been a cover story for a deeper, more sinister plot. Isolated and unsure who she can trust, Eve finds herself stranded in an unstable country where violence threatens to break out again at any moment and with only her own instincts to rely on if she hopes to get home to her family alive . .
