Eve Duncan #3

Genre: Mystery

My Review

I’ve been reading and loving Iris Johansen’s Eve Duncan series for years. I was excited for Sarah to have her own story, since I met her in a previous book and loved the bond between her and her dog, Monty.

This book is all about bonds. The tight bond between Sarah and Monty, her K-9 Search and Rescue dog. They seem to be able to read each other’s minds. It’s fun how the author conveys their thoughts.

The bond between Sarah and Logan. It starts as enemies. Then turns to friends. And then maybe to lovers. I hoped so. They are so much alike.

The bond between Monty and a wolf called Maggie. Sarah and Monty rescue a wolf caught in a trap. Monty quickly falls for the female. It could be tough as wolves mate for life and she’ll heal and go back to the wilderness. Monty thinks she’s beautiful. Maggie says she’ll eat you up. Another fun thought portrayal from Johansen.

There’s also a bond between Maggie and Logan’s go to guy, Galen. I could see it. Both are wild, unpredictable with a softness hidden behind that gruff exterior.

And the bond between Logan and Rudzak, the man hell bent on making all of them disappear from the planet. It goes back many years. Rudzak’s revenge is maniacal and he’ll keep setting his deadly traps until the bond is finally severed forever.

This isn’t my first time reading this book and won’t be my last. It’s so good and I love these characters.

Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER – He strikes without warning. He kills without mercy. He’s only just begun.

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. 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.

Billionaire John Logan’s 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.

Sarah is furious when she is strong-armed into joining Logan on his search. And once she takes the perilous assignment, not even Logan’s promises that she and Monty will be safe may be enough to protect them. Because a killer is devising a sadistic vengeance . . . and he may soon find use for Sarah.
