Since then I have read every book I could find by Nevada Barr, even those without the famous Anna Pigeon in them because when it is ...

Quicksand (Eve Duncan)

St. Martin's Press, 2008
Another Iris Johansen winner
+ excellent
+ Quicksand
I'm a big Iris Johansen fan and this book did not disappoint me. Read Pandora's Daughter first, if you haven't already read it. You will understand the character of Megan so much better if you do. I loved the ending of Quicksand! I can't wait for the next book!!
