- Tenacity Not PleasureI think this book was boring, and I find it hard to believe a good author like Iris Johansen wrote it.
Because of tenacity I was determined to finish this book once I started to read it. I never quite "got" what the author was trying to say. Jane especially annoyed me, and I got tired of hearing about the "team".

- Time for Iris Johansen to take a vacation .The Eve Duncan scenerio is getting really old. Not only was this book boring, but it failed to even keep a solid story line. I rarely sell or give away books, but this is one that will go.

- Not As Good As I Thought.I am a big fan of Iris Johannsen's books. I am normally glued to them until I finish. I read Fatal Tide in 1 1/2 days. I normally enjoy the Eve Duncan series. I just couldn't seem to get into this book. I didn't enjoy it as much. I almost felt it was too far fetched.
I look forward to anything else that the author will be putting out. I was just disappointed in this book.

- First and Last Time?This is the first Iris Johansen thriller I have read and unfortunately it will probably be my last. The characters are so predictable in their responses to each other that I knew what they would say before they said it. I listened to it as a book on tape which probably made that worse. But Jane, the focus of the book, is simply unbelievable. Aldo and his "obsession" strain credibility. The best part was the information about life in ancient Herculaneum and the volcanic eruption.

- Too much left unansweredI am usually quite an avid fan, but this book left too many holes. What brought on Jane's dreams? Did Trevor have the same dreams? what ever became of the "real" person the dreams were about? Is Jane phycsic now? Whose face was the last one that Eve sculpted (if that's a real word)? It almost seems like she is setting it up so you will have to purchase the next book just to get the answers to this one. And did the dreams somehow imply that Jane and Trevor are meant to be together?
And yes, I am sick of Eve holding it against Joe that he lied to her years ago. He was trying to help ease her pain, she knows it, she has stayed with him all this time, get over it already.
