Book Review: ‘Chaos: A Novel’ By Iris Johansen

A new series is born from author Iris Johansen. Unfortunately it is just like her current series (Eve Duncan, Kendra Micheals). That’s not a bad thing but I was hoping for something a little different. The characters are refreshing and new and the story is thrilling for the reader to follow along, especially if this is your first time reading an Iris book. And fan favorite Margaret Douglas (at least to me is back with Juno her dog from previous books), having her as part of this book makes me happy.

CIA Agent Alisa Flynn is on a mission outside the agency. She breaks into the house of billionaire Gabe Korgan and is caught. She’s there to try and get Korgan to help her rescue her young apprentice Sasha (who is considered a horse whisper and does great work with them, who along with other young girls has been kidnapped, along with some prized horses.

The person that has taken them is Jorge Masenak, a mercenary known for stealing and pillaging, and always seems to be one step ahead of the law. Well Alisa knows where he is and needs Korgan’s help to rescue Sasha, the girls and the horses without too much bloodshed. Alisa could take Sasha anytime but refuses to leave without the girls or horses. Alisa and Korgan plan a daring rescue (Korgan has his own reasons for wanting to do this), that is and isn’t successful and it leads to another daring rescue, where lives will be on the line.

You can pick up Chaos in stores on Tuesday, September 1st.
