In the fourth installment of the Det. Eve Ronin series, Eve and her partner, Duncan Pavone, are called to the scene of a fatal shooting in Malibu State Park. They eventually find that this shooting is related to a string of serial shootings that Pavone has been concerned about for years. The reports of the shootings have been kept quiet by the authorities in order to keep the public calm and visitors coming to the park. To solve this case, Eve will have to face higher-ups, corruption, and her own problems.
This was another solid and entertaining book by Lee Goldberg. The mystery unfolded in a way that was easy to understand, while still being complicated and interesting enough to keep you guessing, in thanks especially to the few red herrings thrown into the mix. I love a good procedural, particularly if there is a female main character, so this series has been such a fun ride for me.
I really like Eve as a character. She is competent and moral enough to root for, but still clearly has her fair share of flaws (though she is working on some of them, as evidenced in this novel). She is dogged in her pursuit of answers, which sometimes leads to her taking dangerous and unnecessary risks, but she gets results! Something I've enjoyed throughout this series is the dynamic between Eve and Duncan, and this was no exception in Movieland. Their partnership is so much fun, and I really like the almost father-daughter sort of relationship they have.
I highly recommend this series if you love crime procedurals and/or strong female characters. I look forward to seeing what Eve Ronin does next! Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for providing this ARC in exchange for my unbiased review.
