Picking the 39th book in a series from a "blind date with a book" leaves a lot of unknown history, but I enjoyed this book nonetheless. It was a slow build up for me personally, but the action picked up probably 60-70% and was strong through the end. Doesn't make me want to read the whole series, but I feel like this would be a good murder mystery series to get into.
Copley was such a dick and I really hoped it was him. The spin of it being Natasha though was unexpected, but completely believable. A nice end to the book right before Christmas.
Typical entry in the series. I am pretty sure I missed a couple, but didn't really miss anything, she has her formula going. Still, good book candy.

This was a good old fashioned whodunit, I loved it. My favorite from this series in awhile.
Tons of great Xmas scenes especially with the annual party and Eve has to help. Murder is a whodunnit and I remembered from prior read so that wasn’t as good as the non murder stuff. Roarke gives Eve the dojo and she gives him his own magic coat
I got this book out of a Little Free Library and still wanted my money back. I'm no snob; I read and love plenty of silly mysteries (I read Murder, She Wrote books, for crying out loud.) But this was absolutely dreadful, so much so that I couldn't get past the first 30 pages.
I know that Robb is a ridiculously popular author and so I'm in the minority. Terrible writing, fanfic-level characters, larded over with horrible quasi-future slang. I won't be picking up another one of these any time soon.

Great book. Not as exciting or suspenseful as her previous books, but an enjoyable read nonetheless:)
8.11.2024 - Pretty good. I am proud that I guessed part of the end.
There's really only one reason I didn't rate this book a 4-star, and it's because of one tiny detail that bugged me through the entire book: And then we could have had more scenes with McNab, Nadine, Mavis, and Mira. More Baxter/Trueheart would have been welcomed. I missed all those characters just as much as I enjoyed reading about Dallas, Roarke, and Peabody.
