It’s hard to believe that this is number 27! Wow! I’m such a fan of Eve Duncan series.... her facial reconstruction is just such a radical idea and this book delivers quite the thrill.

What did I like? Number 27 but most of the cast is well known which is fun and just like catching up with some old friends. The author really knows how to suck you in and this one did not disappoint.

Would I recommend or buy? This is an easy auto buy author if your familiar with her work. If your not then your missing out. Eve Duncan has become a huge favorite of mine over the years and I never get tired of her or Joe Quinn. The family just keeps growing with more incredible characters and I love them all! An easy five star rating and the best thriller I’ve picked up this year.

I received a complimentary copy to read and voluntarily left a review!

Thoroughly boring. Pages and pages of dialogue with no subtstance. Does nothing to hook you in.

It got tiresome constantly reading about how everyone needs to protect Eve. She's a big girl, she's been through all this shit before. Although I gave it 4 stars, this might be my least favorite Iris Johansen Book. I didn't care for Chaos either, so I'm really hoping this isn't the beginning of the end.

I don't know if I'm just getting tired of the Eve Duncan series or if the dialogue is becoming predictable or if the book is just not what I'm used to, but it wasn't my favorite. It was interesting having Joe's ex-wife Diane coming into the picture; it adds a new dynamic that we haven't seen before. Eve is a bit jealous when she's around, Joe is rather antagonistic toward her, but of course 10-yo Michael adores her.

I also wonder how many rich terrorist-type super villains there are in the world since they seem to be eliminating one in every book. It feels like they're getting predictable; it might be time to focus on the spin-off series of Catherine Ling or Kendra Michaels and retire Eve and her all-knowing son. That said, I'll still probably read the next one in hopes this was just a one-time thing or that it's because of my mood at the time.

Eve Duncan has agreed to work alongside husband Joe Qqinn's ex-wife Diane Connors. She has discovered a medical miracle that someone would love to take right out of her hands and use it to control and destroy the world. Can Eve and Joe help Diane, despite the ever-present danger facing them?

This story of something that could save lives in a big way could end up in the wrong hands. Along with protecting the invention, Eve's expertise as a forensic sculptor is needed for someone close to Diane. There has been an attempt on Diane's life which ends up keeping Joe on his toes.

The Bullet is the exciting twenty-seventh book in the thrilling Eve Duncan series. Just as the story has Eve and Joe, their gifted son Michael also plays a pivitol role. The story is fast-paced and lives are under severe threat while Diane perfects her discovery. Will everyone involved suvive the danger facing them? This compelling read makes me for than eager for the next book in the series.

Many thanks to Grand Central Publishing and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

Being generous with the 3 stars because I've enjoyed the series in the past. Stories are becoming a little too formulaic for my taste. Probably be my last one, sadly.

This was a fantastic read, loved reading about Diana, and how her reappearance in Eve and Joe's lives causes a whole host of problems! Loved this mystery!
