Smokescreen by Iris Johansen #Netgalley #Book #Review

Synopsis:
In this pulse-pounding thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen, forensic sculptor Eve Duncan journeys to Africa to help families torn apart by a violent attack deep in the jungle--but she may be putting herself in more danger than she knows.

A journalist shows up on Eve Duncan's doorstep with a plea for help. Jill Cassidy has just come from a small African village with a heart wrenching story: half the villagers--many of them children--have been killed in a horrific attack by guerilla soldiers, the bodies burned beyond recognition. Now, the families desperately need Eve's help to get closure and begin to heal.

But when Eve arrives in the remote jungle, she begins to suspect that Jill's plea may have been a cover story for a deeper, more sinister plot. Isolated and unsure who she can trust, Eve finds herself stranded in an unstable country where violence threatens to break out again at any moment and with only her own instincts to rely on if she hopes to get home to her family alive . . .

My Review:

Eve Duncan has once again put her life in danger, trying to prove a deadly guerilla soldier is still alive.  I was pretty shocked that she wasn't surprised that everyone in her family had something come up during the same month.  In my house if it's too good to be true it usually is.


Although I wasn't surprised by that, I actually found the novel to be quite the page-turner.  The intrigue of proving the soldier wasn't the skeleton they had kept me guessing until the very end.
