Publisher's summary

Eve Duncan became a forensic sculptor after the disappearance of her daughter Bonnie, whose remains were discovered...yet unrecognizable. Driven by a need to liberate innocence from the shroud of death, she obsesses over recreating the likenesses of faceless, decomposed murder victims, using only their bare skulls as a guide.

Fleeing to Baton Rouge to take on the project of identifying a skeleton, Eve is forced to work in secrecy, given only the sketchiest of information, and she can’t help but wonder if the high-level security that surrounds her is meant to protect her ... or imprison her.

Am I the only one bothered by this??

I haven't finished the book yet (I've read it before myself though) but I have to say how much it irritates my soul that Galen is British but the narrator reads him with a pretty noticeable Irish accent. I may be the only one but if a character is written a certain way they should be read that way.

Secrets

This was a surprising plot. The Secret Societies added another plot twist to the story. I was surprised to find them in this book. I know they really exist. You will enjoy the book.

Kept me guessing

I love it when I can’t guess the outcome or have my doubts.. I really love Getting lost in the lives of Eve and Joe and their loved ones.

Good story

It would be far easier to follow if the male characters actually sounded male instead of trying to focus/decide which character/gender.

The Narrator almost ruins the story

Eve Duncan is meant to be in her early 30s in this book. The narrator sounds to be in her 80s. Cannot manage an English or Cajun accent. It's so bad, it takes away from the story bc of how distracting it is. Hard to tell which character is meant to be speaking when they all sound the same. Even when she is Jane. There is a character that is English but she switches from an Irish accent to her "Eve" voice to someone attempting to make a random word here and there sound vaguely accented. Though what that accent is meant to be is the real mystery of the book. Same goes for the "Cajun" accent. It is embarrassing to listen to. I've read a few of Iris Johansen's Eve books so I figured I would listen to some I've missed while working. But good lord is it difficult to focus. Hopefully there is a different narrator for the other books in the series.
