Summary: Great reading
Review: I really enjoyed this novel...when you finally found out who was the bad guy, you were really caught off guard !!! The author led you down many paths as to who the culprit was very skillfully. It was a nice surprise as I wasn't very thrilled with the face of deception....Keep up the great work.

Summary: Top Notch Thriller that keeps the reader riveted.
Review: Iris Johansen knows how to grab a reader from the beginning and keep you with her till the end. The twists and turns were fantastic, unexpected and UNPREDICTABLE. I was amazed at NOT being able to figure out "who dun it" before the end. Worth reading. Grab a cup of tea, a blanket, keep the lights on and enjoy.

Summary: A wonderful rollercoaster page turning ride
Review: The most exciting book I've read this year. Ms. Johansen stays true to her charaters (unlike Thomas Harris's "Hannibal"). The first book this year I truly had a hard time putting down. I laughed, I worried, I cried, I couldn't stop till I finished and then I was not dissappointed. A thrilling rollercoaster ride is the best way I can describe this book. If you enjoy mysteries and thrillers, you will not be dissappointed. I can't wait for the next chapter in Eve Duncan's life.

Summary: Very disappointed, The Face of Deception was much better
Review: Joe is portrayed as an unbelievable chauvanist, who says words like "adjust", and finishes Eve's sentences for her. Eve is portrayed as a real dummy who puts up with him. Both of them were portrayed as too gooey - Oh Joe, Oh Eve - enough already.

Rating:
Summary: BEST EVER! Eve and Joe must be continued!
Review: FACE OF DECEPTION was the first of Iris Johansen's books I've read. I love her strength. She is truly a remarkable woman. I couldn't wait for THE KILLING GAME!!! What a wonderful continuation. I am hooked! I can't wait to see what is up next for Eve and Joe!!! It was truly a great read!!!

Summary: Warning: If you have a faint heart do not read this book
Review: This book puts you in a rocket and just keeps accelerating. The actions slams you in the face and it does not stop till the last page. Eve Duncan is a complicated character that is energized in this book. This is by far the best novel I have read in a long time. The Killing Game is intense, no holds barred and rock-solid thriller. Even for experienced readers this book is among the best. It is better than Cornwall at her best even better than Richard North Patterson. I will read this book again when I can recover from the the first read. The book grips you by the throat until you are ready to give up. If you read a book, this has to be it.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent continuation of "A Face of Deception"
Review: Iris Johensen robbed me of a Labor Day holiday by writing a novel so riviting. Eve Duncan and Joe Quinn felt like old friends from "A Face of Deception" and my heart still aches for Bonnie to "come home". The twist and turns makes this a page turner. Johansen is a "must buy" author and one who usually meets or exceeds readers' expectations.

Rating:
Summary: ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. THIS CHARACTER MUST BE CONTINUED.
Review: I absolutely love this character and have been hooked since the first book introducing her. I love the two male leads and the background of each character. I just started reading this novel and am almost half way through it already. I have brought it to work and am reading it at every spare opportunity. I don't want to put pressure on Ms. Johansen, but when's the next one.

Summary: Frightening
Review: Some of the passages in *The Killing Game* are terrifying, the level and intensity of fear in this one rivals the D-Day scene in *Saving Private Ryan*, or some of the horror stuff in Hannibal, or the aerial carnage so vivid and shocking in *The Triumph and Glory*. Worth every dime I spent for it.
