I adore Eve, Roarke, “Somshit”, and all the rest. Peabody on caffeine is a hoot. :)
It begins with an inexplicable act where the marketing executive of a major airline walks into an important meeting with soon to be partners of another company to finalize their merger and detonates a bomb, killing twelve and injuring many others. Lieutenant Eve Dallas and Detective Delia Peabody soon learn that there was much more to this suicide bombing.
I really enjoyed this insidious case where it was dogged police procedurals to figure out the who and why. With the help of the team and Roarke (there was definitely a reason for him to help), Eve methodically assembles the clues and probable suspect pool to resolve the mystery. This is the type of story in the series that I love the most. It’s all about solving the case under serious time constraints as the killers aren’t done. And, there was an absolutely delicious secondary storyline that made this an even better read. I won’t spoil it for you but just know you’re going to love it.
While I enjoyed the story, it did drag in places where I felt there was a bit of repetition but only enough to keep it from being a 5-star read. Otherwise, this was another enjoyable installment in my most favorite series.

I never get tired of this series, this book was another pleasure to read.
I love the banter between Eve and Peabody. I do want to know why Eve can't catch that candy thief with future technology lol
Plenty of dramatic moments in this one, death and destruction, it was well plotted and I had no idea who or why. Thanks for all the Eve and Roark moments, always sigh worthy.
Great story and I highly recommend it.

Paul Rogan must make the worst choice ever. To save his beloved wife and daughter, he must kill others, people he works with and is friends with. He sees no way out of his dilemma, taking ten others with him into death.
Lieutenant Eve Dallas finds herself deep in a horrible crime that may have been committed as a way to manipulate stock prices. Luckily Roarke is available to guide her through the financial jungle while she is on the hunt for the people who terrorized the Rogan family.
Despite the horrendous intensity of the crime, there are moments of lightheartedness as well, such as Peabody and McNab being allowed to go to the Oscars with Nadine. I absolutely love the relationship between Dallas and Peabody!
More deaths occur, all for money. Robb has a deft way of making you care for the victims and survivors that you meet for such a short time. She's really on her game in this installment. Even the fight between Roarke and Eve over the line between cop and lover is logical, despite their deep love for one another. The weight of eighteen deaths hangs heavy on both of them, making tempers flare when an old acquaintance shows up in the mix.
Also discussed is how Nadine's Alcove book and later film has had an impact on Dallas' job, the recognition coming closer and closer to hampering her ability to find justice for the dead. Now there is another book in the works and the film makers want to do a trilogy. I expect to see more headaches for Eve as time goes on.
A great read, a return to the earlier books in quality and content. Should please all Eve Dallas fans. 5 out of 5.

As usual Roarke and Eve save the day from boredom, readers block and everything bad. I liked their spat in the book. No married couple can be living without have small disagreements.
The murder was different and sickening as usual. It was a fun read.

4.5! So very refreshing! A series in which I love the characters...couples...and how much they have grown throughout this series! The cases so much better than the cases you read in cliché cliff hanger novels...I do have to say I hope this isn't the case Nadine chooses for her next novel...wasn't quiet up to Alcove or other one!? Are we about due for a baby??? IF not Eve...Shebody??
In Death is that old procedural that I just can't bring myself to let go of, I can guarantee that while I'll remember the crimes and murders that always form the first shocking chapter, I have next to no memory of the actual consequences or perpetrator when they're revealed. Such is the case here, a bombing in an office and criminals who turn out to be unwilling hostages kick off the action.
There's a fun B-side story with the oscars and the storyline that keeps giving, the Icove Agenda case! I feel like I definitely need to re-read that one book at the very least :thinking:.
