The Search

By: Iris Johansen

Narrated by: Cynthia Nixon

He strikes without warning.... He kills without mercy.... He's only just begun....

Iris Johansen, the New York Times best-selling author of The Killing Game and The Face of Deception, delivers a gripping new novel of breathtaking suspense and explosive adventure. It is the story of a courageous woman who is coerced into tracking down a ruthless killer - but as she hunts out her prey with stunning accuracy, she becomes the object of his wrath....

As part of an elite K-9 search and rescue team, Sarah Patrick and her golden retriever, Monty, have a gift for finding what no one else can - whether it's a survivor buried alive by an earthquake or the skeleton of a murdered child. But their latest assignment is not like the others. This time, Sarah is being forced to take part in a deadly mission...by a man who knows enough about her past to ensure her cooperation. A man who won't take no for an answer.

John Logan is used to getting what he wants, and what he wants now is Sarah's help. His top-secret venture has been sabotaged, its facilities destroyed, and its handpicked staff massacred. The sole survivor is being held for ransom. Logan knows that the only way to save the man - and the secrets he holds - is to find him as soon as possible.

Smart, tough, and uncompromising, Sarah is furious when she is strong-armed into joining Logan on his search. And once she takes the perilous assignment, she realizes that Logan's promises that she and Monty will be safe may not be enough to protect them.

Because a killer is devising a sadistic vengeance...and he may soon find use for Sarah.

Racing against time to stop the bloodshed before more victims are claimed, both Sarah and Logan will look straight into the heart of true evil. And when the killer's search for revenge finally ends, no one will ever be the same again....

Critic reviews

"Gripping...shocking." (New York Post)

Not my favorite Eve Duncan novel...

The story was ok but it wasn't about Eve and Joe and Jane. I had a hard time hearing the reader even with my volume at the max.

Quiet

I had to download a sound booster on my phone in order to listen to this. Not sure why it was so much quieter than other audio books I've listened to

Great story

It was well read, keeps you wanting more, don't want to stop listening till the end

Better Sarah voice in this one

Sarah’s voice in the last book made it seem like she was a 40 year old spinster who chain smoked. This voice fits her description much better. I really like this book because it had the minimal about of Eve Duncan 😂 when eve did show up one of the first things she did was blame Logan for her own problems. “You better find her!” Like hello it’s not his fault communication in your house is crap. AND no one called her out on it! Good storyline though and all the other characters were great!

Exciting and Fascinating Story

This books is one of the most interesting books I have read. It was Wonderful to learn about the rescue dogs.
Does anyone know of any other books about Rescue Dogs?? I have searched but can find Nothing. I would love some input.

voices

Really enjoyed the story, especially the different voices. Helped you remember the names of different characters in the story.

Where is the rest?

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

Just as I was getting into the book, it ended - at a very suspenseful and climactic part. There is either a big mistake in editing, or I was sold half a book in the disguise of a complete novel. I don't even know about the next book. Bummer, because it was getting pretty good.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Monty the dog.

Have you listened to any of Cynthia Nixon’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Any additional comments?

People should be warned

I've had better

the audio was a little choppy on this one. but I love the author and the characters, its a great story line.

Old favorite found again

If you could sum up The Search in three words, what would they be?

Absolutely frikin riveting

What did you like best about this story?

Monty and Maggie. When I first read this, in paper form, I had just gotten a golden retriever puppy. Now she's gone, but listening to this again brought back all those happy memories.

Which scene was your favorite?

The scene with Madden confronting Sarah and Logan, and Logan's resulting outburst.

If you could rename The Search, what would you call it?

I don't think I would rename it.

Any additional comments?

I read it years ago without reading the first two books. I was only slightly confused, and only in regard to the interpersonal intricacies. I was able to figure it out pretty quickly though, so it wasn't a big deal.

She did it again!!

Loved it...another great read by Iris Johansen. Loving the Eve Duncan series more and more.
