so-soI read every suspense novel by Johansen, unfortunately I am less and less engaged with each subsequent title. I was mesmerized by Eve in Face of Deception so I have hung on but I may need to take a break. I had a hard time connecting to the characters and the ongoing themes of abuse and slavery are a turn off. Johansson does suspense well but villains that are merely beasts makes me wish their end would come more quickly. 2+⭐️
