Hunting Eve

An Eve Duncan Forensics Thriller, Book 17

De: Iris Johansen

Narrado por: Elisabeth Rodgers

She’s broken free. But danger is in hot pursuit. And rescue is nowhere in sight.... Eve Duncan is on the run. Kidnapped by Jim Doane, a mysterious man who wants her to complete a sinister forensic sculpture, she now has no time to savor the victory of escaping from him. He’s back on her trail and closing in fast. At the mercy of the Colorado wilderness, she struggles to outwit and outrun him, but the odds are stacked high in his favor.

Doane desperately needs Eve’s skill to reconstruct the skull of his son - a sick and twisted killer who still holds Doane in thrall from beyond the grave - and like a man possessed, he refuses to let anything stand in his way. The CIA has its own reasons for tracking Eve’s nemesis. And those closest to Eve - Joe Quinn and Jane MacGuire - are doing everything in their power to rescue her, while a hired gun named Lee Zander is on a personal mission to eliminate Doane.

But does that mean he can be trusted to save Eve? Zander’s checkered history may be tied to Eve’s own past in a shocking way - or he may be nothing more than another assassin with a long-standing grudge and an overactive trigger finger. Using everything from cutting-edge technology to animal whisperers, the hunt for Eve is on. And the hourglass is almost empty.

Continuing the story of Eve Duncan's abduction

I must first comment on Elisabeth Rodgers Performance. Narrators can make or break a book. Elisabeth is an exceptional performer and I will definitely purchase books with Elisabeth as the narrator.

This is book 2 of the story of Eve's Abduction. The books are an easy listen if you are considering an audio book. The 3 books in this set have a lot going on but the Johansens preface each scene change so you don’t get lost when listening to the audio book (which is rare and exceptional writing).

Familiar characters from previous books come together in this set to rescue their beloved Eve from a deranged lunatic. Bonnie interacts with another entity which was a new twist I liked. I found myself thinking occasional interactions between Bonnie and another, more friendly, entity would make for an interesting new dynamic in an Eve reconstruction book.

I have one complaint about this set. There are chapters centered around the Jane McGuire character (not sure I spelled her name correctly) that detracted a lot from the abduction of Eve. The Johansens gave a narcissistic attention to Jane, such that she sucked all the energy away from the main plot. She came off as being self-centered, rude and downright mean. I don’t remember feeling that way about her character before so they’ve changed her character or her behavior was out of balance in these books. In any case, they gave her Caleb triangle way to much play for me. I have finished all 3 books in the set and I don’t want to spoil the last book so bear with Jane if you find yourself feeling the way I did. She is essential to the finale.

Overall this set is a good addition to the Eve Series and I highly recommend all 3 books, “Taking Eve, Hunting Eve and Silencing Eve”. I’m off to Kendra Michaels book #2, “sight unseen”.

Reviewers Note:
The Johansen book series overlap. I suggest reading all the Johansen books by date, not by series. They also, sometimes write in (what I call) sets, where one book leads into another, taking two or more books to reach the conclusion. The sets must be read in order.

When reading this review, please be aware I am 5 years behind on the Johansen books. There are 15 novels between this set and the current release year 2019.
Happy Listening.

Love Eve Duncan series

Love Iris Johansen but this narrator just ruined the voices for me. It's a good story, kept my interest, but she's had better. ☹️

tension in the storytelling

somewhat predictable but worth listening to for whole story. I will go to the next story for sure.

Loved it!

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. I'm anxious to hear the 3rd book of this trilogy.

I love her books. It was a great listen! To many male character voices for the reader. Just voicing my opinion.

I love the Eve series

This book it thrilling and keeps you on your toes, now I have to buy the next book as soon as I'm done here.

Engaging and entertaining

Good book . I enjoyed the narrator . The writing pretty good too but was annoyed by the writing of some of the female characters and their choices . Feel like they were very self important and putting themselves in the way.

The saga continues

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I find myself ready for this series to end,but loving the other story lines..I love Caleb and want to see where him and Jane will end up..Im an Eve Duncan fan,but her this story I dont know

Sad that a someone gets killed off

This was a great story and thrilling! Lot of the old character are back in this book! But sad to see one go!
