Still love this series after all this time. This installment had all the things to love. The bunch of characters even if some were just a glimpse. The mention of that elusive chocolate thief, the missed phrases Eve uses, the humor, the thrill of the chase of the bad guy. While it has all the elements I loved from the start the relationships and characters are still growing through the series and keeps it from going stale.
Family man Paul Rogan walks into his office as his company is about to strike the deal of a lifetime wearing an explosive suicide vest, muttering that there must be another way. The ensuing explosion makes no sense until Eve Dallas and her investigative team discover that his family was being used as leverage to coerce him to blow himself up, taking several of his friends and coworkers with him. Eve wastes no time following evidence that leads her to a long-planned plot to exploit the volatility of the stock market, after such an event, to manipulate stock prices in order to "make a killing."
J.D. Robb never fails to impress. As with the previous 46 books in the In Death series, this one has a well written plot and an interesting mystery. Familiar characters from the series are included as both part of the case and to add humor to an oblivious Eve Dallas as the movie, The Icove Agenda, is up for several Academy Awards.
Another great entry in the In Death series; I'm looking forward to the next one.

When Paul Rogan walked into the meeting that would close a merger between two airlines and detonated a suicide vest, the obvious assumption was corporate terrorism. But Eve wonders if the obvious assumption is blinding them from the real issue. She brings in her "civilian consultant" to talk about business and that just supports her belief that this is money related.
I gave this 4 stars and I stand by that, but I have some things I need to say about the series.
I've lost track a little bit, but I believe less than 3 years have passed since Eve and Roarke met. She has come a long way. However I've been reading these books for 20 years, so it doesn't always seem like it's enough.
Eve continues to grow as a character, but as the series progresses, she has had to move further away from the damaged woman she was when we first met. I found it particularly noticeable in this one because the obligatory "visit" from her father felt forced and ended up as distracting.
There is also the issue of the change in tone over the course of the series. The first several books were recognizable as Nora Roberts books - as heavy, or heavier, on relationships than on mystery. It wasn't just Roarke. There's Peabody, Nadine, Mavis and her ever-growing social circle. I did like this phase.
The series then slipped into the experimental phase with different styles of mysteries, with the addition of fantasy or more hard-core science fiction. I liked this phase too. I was reminded of, among other things, Agatha Christie's Tommy and Tuppence and how she would write stories inspired by other mystery greats and try to capture some of their style.
I liked this phase and there really hasn't been a phase I didn't like. I am a fan of police procedurals and I also like female lead noir, so the current style, that we seem to have settled in to, works for me
However, I miss the sci-fi aspects. I find that the new procedural style that keeps us at the station and shows Eve running the squad, no matter how much I enjoy it, can make the relationship side seem like it's being forced in once in a while. Or, at least, less organic than it used to be.
In this one, they found a way to flow everyone in by having a sub-plot related to the Oscars that went from one team member to the next and so on. Of course, I may be anti-social and I may share Eve's hatred of parties and stuff so I may find them annoying when they are being used to bring in other people.
Over all, this was another excellent entry in the series and I was happy.

As usual another great installment in the Eve Dallas series and I must say I would've never figured out who the culprits were.
