Silencing Eve/Iris Johansen/403 pgs.

First, there was Taking Eve. This was followed by Hunting Eve. Silencing Eve is the conclusion to this trilogy. Eve Duncan, a forensic sculptor, has been kidnapped by a psychopath, James Doane, who wants her to reconstruct the skull of his dead son, Kevin. In Silencing Eve, the reader learns what else James Doane has in store for Eve, and those who are trying to rescue her. Jane MacGuire, Eve's adopted daughter, has her own story line going throughout this trilogy. I found her quite annoying by the end of Silencing Eve. She has always been portrayed as self-sufficient, but she comes across as whiny and bossy--a real pain. Other than that, there are some surprises, and a building tension that leads to a fairly satisfying conclusion.
