Query: Disappointing.

I really enjoyed "The Face of Deception." Sorry to say that I can't endorse this sequel as heartily (at all, for that matter). The main female character (Eve) doesn't seem to have emotionally changed one iota in the year since we left her in the first book. She also seems to have become whiny and a user of men to boot.I felt that little time and/or effort was put into character development or even scenic description, and the book was sloppily plotted from a technology standpoint...caller ID or *69, anyone! In the real world, the authorities would've scooped Dom up like a roach ten minutes after he made his second phone call to Eve.This book read like it was written in a rush - the curse of authors who, once they attain a certain level of market success, must produce new 'product' quickly to keep their readers happy. I'm glad I borrowed this product from the library so I can return it.Take your time, Iris. We'll wait! :-)
