Critic Reviews

"Just by seeing the Iris Johansen name...you know [it] will be an explosive, unforgettable story." (Suspense Magazine)

"Johansen keeps readers on the edge of their seats." (Booklist)

"SMOKESCREEEN is supercharged, combustible and totally addictive. There's no one like Iris Johansen!" (Tess Gerritsen, New York Times best-selling author)

Child torture, excellent narrator

I have read all of the Eve Duncan and Jane McGuire books, but I think I am done. Although the narrator was excellent, she couldn’t make up for the child torture and blood. I dragged myself through the book because I cared what happened with Jane and Seth. Lisa didn’t seem to have any personality except to please Seth, despite the places she had been and full life she’s lead. I guessed what was coming at the climax of the story.

Twist and turns totally fun and intense

The family all have their jobs . Changes in Michael opened to all. Like that familiar characters that interact and grow with trust more and more with all Iris Johansens books

Seth and Jane together

I liked that Seth and Jane finally get to work on the same side. I didn't like what happened to the child, though. A lot of graphic detail. Elizabeth Rodgers did a great narration.

Seth Caleb and Jane an explosive love story.

Jane has kept Caleb at an arms length. The explosive love story comes to a head and the fireworks !!!! WOW!!!

a great listen

Well written and read. Loved from beginning to the ending. Kept me guessing. won't disappoint.

Awesome, well done!

this production was very good and the story line was great as usual! Great Job!

Finally

At last. After years of this author perfecting the beautiful, intelligent, resourceful, talented heroine only to ruin it by making her turn into a bratty, whiney female unable to experience love and intimacy with an equally string hero because of FEAR, the author finally lets Jane understand the loving Caleb does not make her weak . Yes , she is strong enough to love him and not lose herself. Hallelujah. Can we hope for the same for Kendra and Adam or Catherine and Cameron? Please write more in those two series so that we can see them capable of both loving and being strong

Love Caleb and Jane!

This story was action packed and full of interesting characters. I loved getting into the relationship between Caleb and Jane much deeper than we have in the past. I've always found him to be so interesting and was a little annoyed with the way Jane has treated him. Glad to see her eyes are opened to how she really feels for him in this book.

Excellent Listen!

I love the Eve Duncan series! The only thing disappointing was the fact that I goofed and read reviews beforehand that didn't give a spoiler alert and revealed a very important detail/event I would rather have discovered while listening. This was a really good listen and I think all the die hard fans will be pleased. Now that I'm finished with this series so far, I'm anxious for the newest addition to be released this summer. In the meantime, I'm going to check out Iris Johansen's new Alisa Flynn series.

If you like suspense, action, love story, supernatural, villains, and heroes all bundled into a story, I recommend this series!

ahhhhh ick

Usually love his books, but this one I listened in double speed just to finish it. Too much emotion.
