Funny thing is I've read a good majority of her books and all of them out of order. Years of love for these stories and I'm just now reading how they got married. Hilariously I have yet to read the earlier books before this one

In this third installment of the In Death series Lieutenant Eve Dallas faces two stressful situations, her upcoming wedding and her best friend being the main suspect in a brutal murder.
The book begins with Eve trying to organise her wedding dress on her day off... Being Eve, it is not a simple shopping trip!
But her first case is the death of a confidential informant known as Boomer. Eve asks for Officer Peabody to be assigned as her aide for the case, so this is their first case working together.
The case involves drugs, so a Lieutenant from the Illegals division becomes involved in the investigation too.
Eve also continues to have nightmares, and finally remembers what happened before she was found as a child with a broken arm and no memory.
A lot of growth in relationships between characters in this book.

I'm devouring these audiobooks! They're just *that* good! I'm so glad the series is super long.

The romance is much more palatable and even made me laugh several times. I still think it's moving a bit too fast but at least it's not pissing me off. Wait is this the one where he drugged her so she'd get some sleep... I don't remember but I didn't like that. The banter is really good between Dallas and Roarke, as well as the banter in general being really good. I also really like Peabody and will be really mad if anything happens to her. All around compelling style, interesting mystery, and a great mix of personal lives.
