Review from Amazon:
"Eve Duncan returns as the popular heroine of Iris Johansen's latest suspense thriller, The Killing Game. After the murder of her daughter Bonnie and years of work as a forensic sculptor, Eve had hoped to find some solace in semi-retirement. But when her friend Joe Quinn informs her of the unearthing of multiple bodies, including those of children, Eve cannot resist getting caught up. Those bones may be Bonnie's, and somewhere out there is a dangerous serial murderer. With Joe's loyal help, Eve grimly sets out to find a killer.

Determined to remain objective, Eve begins to reconstruct the face of one of the victims. But the killer wants her to become involved, and manipulates Eve's life like a puppeteer. Terrified of the killer but spurred on by her memories of Bonnie, Eve takes a gamble with her life. She will do whatever the murderer demands: she will be the bait, betting her life for the chance to save others.

As a great suspense novel should, The Killing Game keeps the action and the plot twists coming. Eve's job as a forensic sculptor is the perfect profession for a suspense heroine: she has official access to technical information and the emotional flexibility to react to the drama. Eve's grieving over the loss of Bonnie--and over her romantic complications--helps keep the story complex and appealing. Turn on all of the lights and keep the phone nearby--you won't want to be alone in the dark while reading this one.

Boreal knew a thing or two when this was placed in my goodie bag at the Dunedin convention. Just exactly my sort of reading.
Thanks to you crimson-tide - where is balingup I wonder?
Thanks also to cackleberry for helping it on its way.
I'm looking forward to reading this one.

This was surely a most dramatic book. The twists and turns of the plot, the careful portrayal of the characters involved, the analysis of their fears, and the straight-out 'badness' of the killer combine to make this one of the most gripping stories I read in recent times.
The other folk through whose hands this has passed may not have read it so I can't see what they thought - what a treat they've missed.

Now I'll have to track done other books by this writer who is quite new to me. If the other books are up to the same standard what a feast awaits me.

I can't 'wild release' this book - it must just go to someone who will really appreciate it. Thinking cap on!!

RELEASE NOTE
At the last minute I decided to take it to the Wellington 9th May Meet-up because I knew there was likely to be someone there who would appreciate the book.
