Mind Game: A Novel (Eve Duncan)
By:Iris Johansen
Rating: 4 of 5
I’ve read many of the Eve Duncan series and, once again, I wish there had been something about Eve as a forensic sculptor. There is a small aside comment but otherwise, the book is really about Jane and Caleb.
Jane has had visions from Cira, a former slave who lived hundreds of years before. Cira has been leading Jane to her family’s treasure of gold coins which are supposedly hidden in Scotland. In this story, not only does Jane have Cira to contend with, suddenly a new individual begins haunting her dreams.
Seth Caleb haunts her days as she has promised to surrender to him and she is very much confused by who he is and what he wants.
This novel provides many answers to Jane, gives a little closure on various fronts but also opens new characters, progresses some of the younger ones (about a two year jump since the last book), and seems to provide areas where new adventures can begin.
I look forward to those but also wish to see more with Eve. It might be time to split some of the characters off into their own series so that Eve can get back to what was so appealing about her character in the first place.
I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
