Eight Days to Live Audiobook

" The subtitle of this is An Eve Duncan Foresnsics Thriller. It is a thriller in some places, but Eve Duncan and her husband Joe are not in much of it. Instead, the book focuses on their adopted daughter, Jane MacGuire, a promising and talented artist. Early on, in Paris, the owner of the gallery where Jane's works have been hanging is crucified, and her sister decapitated. Things slow down for a while, and a number of deadly men threaten Jane because of a particular painting that she has done. Jane has two rather talented and deadly men to guard her as she figures out some prophetic dreams and travels to interesting places. In this book, at least, I find Jane not to be as interesting a character as Eve Duncan--she seems one dimensional, cardboard, or cookie cutter. On page 217 of the hardcover edition, she pronounces, "With knowledge comes understanding." I almost had the impression that Iris Johansen needed another rewrite of this. "

" Still, Iris Johansen is showing her age. A 20 something year old should not say 'good Lord' or 'dear heavens' so many times if ever. Jane speaks like a 70 year old woman and there is not one character in this book that is pleasant. Even the ones that work together speak as if they hate each other. It's tiresome. "

" continuing Scottish saga with Mc Duff "

" Maybe the Eve Duncan series is just getting old to me, or maybe I just wasn't in the mood for this one. I didn't think this one of the series was as good as the others. I love Iris Johansen's style of writing but for some reason this one seemed to drag & her filling the reader in on previous characters made the story lack some of the excitement of her previous writings. "

" Although Eve Duncan is in this book, it's really a story featuring Jane Mcguire. It has a lot of suspense, action and romance. The premise was very interesting and engrossing. "

" Awesome book! This fast paced thriller was hard to put down. Another great book by Iris Johansen. I can't wait to read more stories with Caleb and Jane. "

" one of my favorite authors who writes with a combination of passion and grit. the stories are usually plausible even if the main characters are super intelligent, have vast connections globally and manage to survive horrendous terror. this isn't her best book. ok reading though - i actually stayed up late just to get it over with. "

" Love her books, This one was great. I have read them all and I can't put them down. "

" Not a very good read. I was expecting this to be about Eve since it is supposed to be an Eve Duncan forensics thriller. It was all about her adoptive daughter Jane. The storyline was boring and the climax came at the very end. "

" I love this series. The characters never sit still. Action abounds as the quest takes them around the world. Unique plot. Unique characters. Danger. Tough men. Tough women. FUN! "

" Great Book couldnt put it down!! "

" Good intense reading, little to imaginatory/non-realistic aspect in the book. "

" Jane was blah in this book. The whole book was not up to snuff. I felt the need to flip pages to find a more interesting part. "

" Not my favorite of hers. I think sometimes I keep reading series books because I feel like I have to. "

" Very different but a great read "

" The logic of this is way off. The biblical references are ?? "

" Not one of Johansen's best. Slow, weak story. "

" ok. liked the book was about Jane - but the story didn't grab me like most of her other books I liked IJ better as a straight romance author. "

" Fast-paced, action-packed with a little paranormal thrown in. Perfect for me! I've been reading this series for years and I really enjoyed this one. I had a hard time putting it down. "

" Not too bad. I like Eve better then Jane but I guess you have to evolve at some point. Love listening to audiobooks when there are irish characters. "

" I found this story hard to get into at first but then it took off. "

" Why do I keep reading this series? I think I need to find out if Eve Duncan ever finds her daughters body. Is it worth finding out is the question. "

" Not nearly as good as most of Johansens books. "

" 70 pages in and just can't get into THIS book of hers either!!! This isn't an Eve Duncan novel.. This is a Jane McGuire novel?! After reading the other reviews on here I've decided it's just not worth my time. I have an arse load of other stuff I can read. So onto the next book. "

" Read it. One of those books that I don't quite understand why I did. "

" Dean Koonts, meets CSI, meets Dan Brown, meets Steve Berry, meets Jack Higgins as Eve, Jane and Joe confront an evil religious sect the threatens them...some love interest for Jane evolves...the usual fun read!!! "

" Great Book couldnt put it down!! "

" loved it@ Can't wait for the next one! "

" Love Iris Johansen...this one didn't disappoint. Plenty of suspense! "

" A really suspenseful, easily addictive novel, it was both dark and extremely exciting; two qualities high on my list of things that make a novel worth reading... "

" Not too bad. I like Eve better then Jane but I guess you have to evolve at some point. Love listening to audiobooks when there are irish characters. "

" Not one of Johansen's best. Slow, weak story. "

" I love this series. The characters never sit still. Action abounds as the quest takes them around the world. Unique plot. Unique characters. Danger. Tough men. Tough women. FUN! "
