Product Description
Returning from Johansen's New York Times bestselling thriller, Stalemate, forensic sculptor Eve Duncan is still reeling from the disappearance of her daughter, Bonnie. Deciding to take matters into her own hands, she enlists the clairvoyant skills of Dr. Megan Blair to help find her. No strangers to looking for clues where there seem to be none, the two women use their highly specialized talents to hunt down Bonnie's elusive kidnapper and return her to her mother's arms. But is Bonnie still alive? Will the two women find her in time? Iris Johansen strikes again with this non-stop, action packed thriller, keeping readers turning pages well into the night.

 Will She Find Bonnie This Time? April 29, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Fans of the Eve Duncan series will no doubt like this book too. It is a series, so be sure you have read the ones before this one, especially Stalemate. Without reading Stalemate, this one wouldn't make much sense. Montalvo (from Stalemate)has given Eve a list of three potential killers of her young daughter, Bonnie, and Joe Quinn and Eve are soon on the trail of one of them, a truly heartless child killer.
Another book to read before this one would be Pandora's daughter. The prominent character from that one, Megan is instrumental in this book too.
I thoroughly enjoy Iris Johansen books. My only problem is that they have so many recurring characters in them, yet are listed as individual novels. I find myself reading them out of order and learning about the beginnings of characters that I've already read about. Now that I've read Quicksand, I'll go back and read Pandora's Daughter. But I think Quicksand would have been better had I read it last.

She became a forensic sculptor to put a face on the skeletal remains to bring closure to the families of the dead victims. Eve Duncan knows what it is like not to have that closure and not a day goes by that she doesn't think of her seven year old daughter Bonnie who was taken from her years ago. Her live in lover Atlanta detective Joe Quinn has been with her whenever she searched for Bonnie's remains through a tip or a hunch but he is getting weary of seeing Eve tear herself apart whenever her search winds up in failure.
Eve's friend Colonel Montalvo from South America, who is in love with her, has found three possible suspects who might have killed Bonnie. One of them Henry Thistle is located in Bloomberg and Joe goes there without telling eve to try and catch him. Montalvo contacts Eve and tells her where Thistle might be. Eve immediately goes there to be with Joe and hopefully get some answers. Thistle escapes and Joe, Montalvo and Eve mount a search for him. He has kidnapped a young girl to use as bait to lead them to his trap. Helping them is psychic Megan Blair (see PANDORA'S DAUGHTER) who hears the voices of the dead.
The Eve Duncan thrillers are absolutely mesmerizing and QUICKSAND is one of the best books in the series. Almost no body can create such sympathetic characters who have endured so much pain and yet still have the strength to keep going even if it is obsessive like Eve who thinks of what she does as a mission. Montalvo inverts himself into Eve's life forging an unusual romantic triangle; but it is the action scenes that keep the audience turning the pages until they finish the thriller in one sitting.
