Finally, an end to the Eve Duncan series. Enjoyable many books ago, Eve's struggles have become tiresome in the last half dozen books -- she continually pushes away Joe's love and good advice, throws herself recklessly into unnecessary danger, and won't even listen to her dead child's spirit telling her to stop looking for her bones and get on with her life. I stuck with the series only after putting in so many years of caring about these characters, even with their stilted dialogue, their increasingly annoying forays into the paranormal, and their lack of character development, so I wasn't going to give up and miss the promised resolution to the Bonnie character.
As cynical as I had become about this whole series, I was surprised to find myself moved to tears by the much-anticipated revelation of the cause of Bonnie's death and of the identity of the person responsible for her death.
It was worth reading, but it definitely is not worth picking up if you haven't read most or all of the other books in the Eve Duncan series.

I loved this conclusion to the never-ending disappearance of Bonnie. Everyone in Eve's life got involved in this final chapter: Joe Quinn, John Gallo (Bonnie's father), Catherine Ling, CIA man Venable and even Bonnie herself made several appearances (so to speak). The ending was a real surprise and I wondered what Eve was going to do now that her reason for doing facial reconstructions is finally resolved. After some thought, I've decided that nothing will change and Bonnie will still make appearances in Eve's life and Eve will continue doing what she has always done.
