From Goodreads: As a former Navy SEAL turned cop, Joe Quinn has seen the face of evil and knows just how deadly it can be. When he first met Eve Duncan, he never expected to fall in love with a woman whose life would be defined by her dual desires to bring home her missing daughter and discover the truth behind her disappearance---no matter how devastating. With the help of CIA agent Catherine Ling, they make a shocking discovery that sheds new light on young Bonnie’s abduction and puts Quinn squarely in the crosshairs of danger. Eve’s first love, John Gallo, a soldier supposedly killed in the line of duty, is very much alive---and very much a threat. Finally a "Q" book for the A-Z Reading Challenge. In my enthusiasm to plunge into this Q book and cross that letter off my list, I neglected to notice something important. This is the second book in a trilogy. A trilogy that is itself based on another series. Sigh. So I was not up to speed going in and then....she doesn't resolve ANYTHING during this book. The portion of the ride that I was on was entertaining but, by my own fault, I am left completely unsatisfied. (Except, of course, for the satisfaction in crossing Q off the list.)

Too bad. I used to read Johansen's work years ago and tried one recently and it didn't work for me. I'm not sure if I've outgrown them or if she's changed her style.
I have followed her books for years and loved them. That is why I was so disappointed that she left her readers hanging so suddenly.. She should know by now that a "cheap" trick like this to sell another book is beneath her.. I will read Bonnie just to see how she ends all this (if she really does end it there). But I will be much more cautious in buying any further books...
