Another excellent installment in the Eve Dallas series. A bit sadder than most, a bit more conclusive ending than some in the series. An unusual instance of someone actually being rehabilitated from drugs and hang involvement. I kept expecting a twist, as often happens in these books, but I appreciated that there was no real complete redirect of the investigation this time. The people Eve suspected early on were guilty, and pretty much for the reasons expected quite early on. The plot mainly explored the layers of those motivations, those personalities,and provided justice and retribution in fitting and satisfying ways.
Roarke, as always, supporting Eve as only he can. A few very sweet moments in this one!
