Commentary Conducive To Books The Search (Eve Duncan #3)
Building on her series featuring forensic sculptor Eve Duncan, bestselling suspense writer Iris Johansen takes a slightly different tangent with her latest thriller, The Search. The search and rescue team of Sarah Patrick and her golden retriever, Monty, first appeared in The Killing Game, where they helped Eve track down a kidnapped child and a maniacal killer. Now, John Logan, the billionaire who wooed Eve only to lose her to Joe Quinn, needs to utilize Sarah and Monty's talents in a quest of his own.Although it has it rewards, the rescue work Sarah and Monty do demands a hefty emotional toll from them both. Sarah is highly protective of Monty, and when Logan first approaches her with what's obviously a very dangerous mission, Sarah is quick to say no. But Logan brings his powerful resources to bear and more or less forces Sarah to agree to the mission or face the loss of her job, her peace of mind, and Monty. The task at hand involves finding and rescuing a highly valued scientist who has been kidnapped and is being held somewhere in Colombia. But the man who took the scientist is a ruthless and heartless killer whose primary objective is carrying out his sadistic revenge on Logan.
Sarah, none too happy about being coerced into helping Logan, becomes even less inclined toward him when Monty is wounded in the rescue attempt. Logan is wounded too, and after their mission has been accomplished, the threesome end up back at Sarah's isolated cabin. Sarah does everything she can to make Logan leave but finds it hard to be too insistent given his wounds. Besides, when Logan pays his debt to her for completing the mission, it is something Sarah could never have anticipated, an act that leaves her stunned, confused, and indebted. As for Logan, he refuses to leave Sarah alone because he knows that his nemesis, Rudzak, saw her and Monty in Colombia. And because of the nature of his relationship with Rudzak and the secret history they share, Logan knows the psycho will eventually come after Sarah.
Holed up together and fighting a wide array of emotions, Sarah and Logan discover a spark of passion between them. Though they both try to resist, eventually the spark ignites a full-fledged conflagration that leaves both of them stunned, puzzled, and forever changed. By the time the inevitable confrontation with Rudzak occurs, Logan will be forced to risk both his life and his heart in hopes of keeping Sarah and Monty safe. And Sarah must risk everything she holds dear if she ever hopes to find a happiness she is only now beginning to realize.
Fans of Johansen's previous books in this series, The Face of Deception and The Killing Game, will enjoy brief though hair-raising appearances by Eve, Joe Quinn, and Jane -- the spunky, street-wise child Eve adopted in the last book. Also filling out the character roster is an intriguing love interest for Monty: an injured gray wolf named Maggie. But the best parts of Johansen's latest effort are her characteristically explosive mix of chilling terror and heated passion and her gift for weaving a tale of intrigue where seeing isn't necessarily believing.

I picked this up because of a character in a previous book - Eve Duncan who is a forensic scupter specializing in children. A different character was followed - Sarah Patrick - who handles a rescue dog. She's one tough lady without a love interest other than her dog. Well, she's got a love interest now.In this story, Logan has pissed off someone who becomes a mass murderer. The story line plays across 3 continents and pulls in Sarah along with bit parts for Eve.Great read!Really, why again this book is an Ev Duncan series? Eve appears 2 times in the book - at a funeral at the beginning and as a wolf-sit towards the end. This could be a stand alone book. If we had not met Logan before and he had not been Eves lover. I believe Logan fells for all women he meets and swears eternal love to all of them 🤦♀I lost all my tolerance for him. However, I did love Monty, Sarah and their job. Monty was such a darling angel. Such a helper, such a mild hearted baby boy. I loved
This was my first Iris Johansen novel, and I loved it. My super cool therapist Grandmother gave me this book a while back and told me that it was a super good book, with tons of emotional tugs and hooks. I never realized this book was part of a whole series, with all different perspectives on characters, I did feel that this book can and does portray a great story and can be read separately from the rest of the stories. The high intensity thrill moments of this book really shows you how a real
Third book in the series and it was great! I enjoyed the focus on John Logan and Sarah Patrick, but I also got a kick out of Monty's story. There were some really good twists in the story, always a good thing for the reader. Great read!Go Cards! L1C4!!
Iris Johansen is a solid, strong author, and her books can be depended upon for interesting characters, exciting storylines, and lots of suspense and action. This was no different, and I enjoyed it.The story tosses you right into the thick of the action from the very first page. Although there are ebbs and flows, the excitement is maintained pretty consistently throughout the entire book. Johansen knows how to write a story that keeps you turning pages, and this one did that for me.I also loved
Iris Johansen has managed to write a story that instead of focusing on Eve Duncan (who is the main character in this series) is putting Sarah Patrick and John Logan in focus and I loved it! I adored John Logan in the first book in the Eve Duncan series and I was quite sad that Johnsen decided that Joe Quinn was a better match for Eve. However, now I'm not sad anymore because in this book Logan and Sarah have to work to find a kidnapped man and stop a madman that has a grudge against Logan. And,
