Title: An Excellent Suprise - Move over Reichs and Cornwell
Review: I have finished reading Reichs' Brennan novels and Cornwell's Scarpetta novels. I was looking for another medico-forensic suspense writier. I stumbled upon Iris Johansen's Eve Duncan series. WOW. Face of Deception was SUPERB!!. This is literally a book which can be read cover to cover with no breaks. Realistic twists and turns at every chapeter. There is just the right amount of action combined with forensics combined with character development. Eve Duncan is a modern day hero; overcoming her own realistic life obstacles to become who she is, damaged but intriging and determined. A billionaire (puppet-master), a president, a couple dead presidents, a first lady or should I say first-rate manipulator (killer, skilled hitmen and Eve, a woman looking for her deceased child. Iris Johansen put all these characters together in a first rate novel. Step aside Reichs and Cornwell he comes the new leader of the pack. GREAT GREAT book.
