Shattered Mirror

A huge disappointment. The synopsis was intriguing, but the book itself was awful. What a shame because I used to really like this author. It was clear to me that she didn't even try with this one. That happens sometimes with best-selling authors, once they've written a few good books they figure anything with their name on it will sell afterwards. I can't believe it got 4 out of 5 stars??? For the life of me, I can't figure out why??? Maybe the first and the last couple of chapters were interesting. But everything in between was boring and like pulling teeth to get a story out of it. I fell asleep at least a dozen times listening to it, out of sheer boredom. The narrator didn't help matters, since she couldn't pronounce the name "Jacque". She called him "JOCK"!!! It should have sounded like"Jack", not "Jock". Bad narrators can ruin even the best of books, and this one didn't need any help being awful. Sorry, but I have no clue why anyone liked this dry / boring book. I thought it was a waste of time and money. Big disappointment. Think I'm done with Iris Johansen books. Don't think I'd listen to another of her books even if it were free, it wasn't worth the time I wasted on it! What a shame, because in the past decade prior, her books were good. She doesn't even bother to try now.

What fabulous read!!! No one writers a thriller as well as johansen,I don't know how she keeps writing such characters and storylines that have you sitting on the edge of your seat,but she does!! Every new book that comes out just keeps getting better and better. This is a eve ducan novel and not on......more

First, I want to say that I had some trepidation about reading this book. I do find this series wonderful, but the last book just didn't do much for me. So, I really wanted to like this book, but I was worried that I would be disappointed again. Thankfully, this book worked better for, although it's......more

As usual, Iris Johansen does a fantastic job with the characters in this book, Eve Duncan and her family (both blood and adopted). I have read every book in the series and not one of them has disappointed me yet! Cara is the main character in this particular book, a talented violinist who featured in......more

This story begins with a burnt skull with a bullet hole wrapped in a nice package with and including a two-sided mirror being left on Eve Duncan's front porch. Because her fey and precocious six-year-old Michael encourages her to restore the skull so that the victim can find her way home, Eve begins......more

Linda/Vancouver/Langley 5 stars for me! Fast paced intriguing book by Iris Johansen. Really enjoyed book. This is the 3rd book that I have read by Iris Johansen recently. Had read 1 book several years ago and I didn't enjoy it too much. Her name caught my eye when I was in Indigo books and I purchase......more
