For me JD Robb books are light weight, give your brain a rest kind of reading. Don't get me wrong, the stories are fun to read and I eagerly await each one. But you have to admit they do generally follow a pattern. Having started at #1 its been interesting to see technology in real life catchup with technology in Eve's world. I have a 'link', I can swipe and talk to my computer, when do I get a car which can go vertical.

I look forward to #48.

Yes, I did read this book solely because it has "Leverage" in the title. What did you expect?

The book itself was. fine? I guess? Didn't really stand out one way or the other. 
-1/2 star for the random transphobic line near the end.

If you had to choose between who was to die; yourself and co-workers or saving your family what would you choose?

The "bad guys" in this story force the victims to go through this exact scenario with a suicide bomb vest.

Eve, Peabody and team work to find clues to who and why they would try to pull these stunts.

Later, the Oscars! The Icove Agenda. Much to Eve's chagrin she feels she'll never hear the end of the book and movie, and now it's nominated for multiple awards!

The series is still going strong. This one wasn't one of my favorites. I definitely love Peabody's and McNabb's relationship and I keep waiting for them to get engaged. Looks like Nadine found someone to fall in love with.

When fathers are made to prove how much he loves his wife and kids, things can get deadly and the bodies start piling up fast. All in the name of money. To the ones behind the scenes it’s all on the dads; they say they have a choice. But what father would let his child die.
