Eight Days to Live

Eve Duncan, Book 10

By: Iris Johansen

Narrated by: Jennifer Van Dyck

It all begins with a painting called Guilt. Eve Duncan’s daughter, Jane, has no idea why she painted the portrait of the chilling face that now hangs in a Paris gallery. But the members of a cult that dates back to the time of Christ know both the face and the significance behind it. They believe that Jane must die – when the moment is right, and not an instant before she leads them to an ancient treasure whose value and power are beyond price. But for now they target those close to her, killing without mercy or conscience.

Jane’s journey takes her from Paris to Scotland to a cave in the Holy Land, as she fights with all she has to save her life. Even with Eve’s help, can she possibly escape before the clock stops ticking?

Eight Days to Live begins with an ancient conspiracy and a shocking betrayal, but will it end with the death of Eve Duncan and the sacrifice of Jane MacGuire? With Eight Days to Live, number-one New York Times best-selling author Iris Johansen delivers a thriller that will chill you to the core.

It was Ok

This was not as good as some of her other novels. Also with the narrator being female and there being so many male characters the reading of it seemed a little off. I may have enjoyed reading it more than listening to it.

Much better!

This was a very good read! I exspecially liked the scottish characters and the way their questionable backgrounds played in the story. Jane was a bit overbearing and made to sound too stubborn. At times I felt compelled to fast forward through some of her dialogue, because I couldn't believe a woman could be so stupid as to want to see grisly murder victims. It is still worth the read.

Another exciting Ride!

Loved the tension & suspense this story contained! Eve & Jane sure lead exciting lives!

Who wrote this novel?

Did Helen Gurley Browne write this book?
Through the entire story Jane is doing her best to convince everyone that she is woman hear her roar.
And Caleb the vampire. His image appeared in mirrors and he likes the dark but does fine in the sun.
He doesn’t want to sleep in a casket. He prefers Jane, a mere mortal.
Best way to describe this fiction is goofy.

Excellent series

Narrator is engaging. Iris Johansen makes it so even though this is a series, the reader isn't lost with the background info or part events. #UnitedStates

Good listen

Book was good and had typical suspense. At times it got a little sleepy but not so bad I wanted to give up on it. I just stuck with it and it picked back up. Not her best but still good.

Very good
