I really liked this one - (although I'm a fan of Iris Johansen a anyway.) I thought the characters were well developed, the plot satisfyingly twisted, and all within the realm of "could happen"....which always makes it more frightening to me.

I enjoyed this book. It was a quick and easy read. There was a little romance, but not the entire storyline. I recommend it.

I love Iris Johansen's books. Thhis plot was good and adventerous. The main character got on my nerves sometimes but she was still likeable. The main male character was very likeable.

As a photojournalist, Bess Grady is far more comfortable viewing life through her camera lens than firsthand; the extra distance makes it easier to accept life's atrocities. Still recovering from an assignment on which she witnessed the massacre of an entire Croatian orphanage, Bess accepts an easy assignment from a travel magazine to photograph a small village in Mexico and brings her sister along for fun. What awaits her is worse than she ever could have imagined: everyone in the village has been killed by a deadly poison. After rescuing the only survivor, Bess and her sister split up. Bess finds herself captured by the villain who seems to have plotted the horrible destruction. Her sister has disappeared, and the only hope Bess has to save her is to trust a man she believes to be a murderer

This is my 2nd Johansen book and won't be my last! I thoroughly enjoyed this. It's very different from my usual taste for thriller novels, but it gripped me from start to finish! I really like her writing style as she doesn't overdo the descriptions of people/places etc... as some authors tend to do. She's short, sweet, and to the point which is what I like. This story line was great - Almost unnerving just because it "could" happen. Loved the characters. Bess is as stubborn as they come, but I love strong female roles. Kaldak was the right mix of tough guy and Mr. Sensitive...couldn't put this one down. Definite "must read" and I look forward to more from Iris Johansen!

If you like Mary Higgins Clark, you will enjoy this book. Danger, intrique, suspense, and a touch of romance.
Bess Grady is a photojournalist on what is supposed to be an easy assignment, but she sees something she isn't supposed to see. She joins forces with an intimidating stranger, who she doesn't know if she can trust. Plenty of plot twists, and a good read.
