Night and Day by Iris Johansen
From the
outset, the reader is tossed into the ongoing action, which is awash in
characters. I got the feeling I was late to the party. Because of that, I’d
highly recommend reading the first two in this series. This is a paranormal
mystery featuring Eve Duncan, a likeable character who is accompanied by an odd
assortment of eccentrics and misfits. All the characters are fascinating and
fun to read about.
An
eleven-year-old girl, Cara, is the center of the initial maelstrom. She was
taken in by Eve to shield her from some evil people who want her dead. Little
Cara has been through a lot in her short life. On another front, Eva’s older
adopted daughter Jane hold the key to finding a golden treasure through a
mystical connection with a slave turned actress who escaped Vesuvius, Cira.
This gold is the center of the rest of the activity.
Between Mexican
cartel bosses and Russian mafia bosses, the little band on the edge of the lake
at Gaelkar Scotland battles through impossible odds to fend off the evil doers
and survive. There’s a sweet relationship between the young Cara and the
somewhat older Jock, a trained killer who is fiercely protective of and dazzled
by her. So much so that she is able to convince him that night is day and day
is night.
You’ll have fun
on this wild ride!
