Another excellent book. The relationships in these books are one of their big attractions, you feel like you know these people and like them. Of course the mystery is always pretty good also.

If you're like me and you've read all of these Eve Dallas books, you're probably not going to stop after 27. If you haven't read them yet, you can read them out of order and not miss much. It's gotten so that lately there are really no chances taken with the main or supporting characters. Nothing advances in the ongoing stories or relationships (the ME has a girlfriend - zzzz). Too many of the secondary personalities are living happy little lives now and there isn't any conflict or interest there. If Nora really wants to energize this series, she'll introduce some new characters or have something major happen in the lives of the ones she has. Personally, I'd like to see Eve and Roarke get custody of a kid. That said, as always, this was a fun and easy read.

This installment moved a lot slower for me than other Eve Dallas books, but the story was still very intense and thought provoking.

What starts out as a routine investigation into the murder of a neighborhood priest during a funeral mass turns into a case of identity theft, greed and retribution and linking to multiple unsolved murders seventeen years prior. Eve tackles this case with the same tenacity and determination she gives to every case. As more layers are revealed, the more complex this case becomes.

When a televangelist is murdered the same way during a sermon, I immediately thought Eve would be tracking a serial killer targeting religious leaders. When the second murder is solved fairly quickly, I realized that the murders are not connected, other than cause of death.

Not a lot of sparring with Somerset in this story, unfortunately. I am looking forward to Eve losing her mind over hosting Louise's bridal shower. She would much rather get into fights with criminals than come within a hundred miles of giggling women. I can't wait to see how it plays out.

After 27 installments of this series, I feel like I'm putting on a comfortable sweater when I'm reading an Eve Dallas book. The characters are so well written that the reader feels a deep rapport with them. Luckily for the readers, this series does not appear to be running out of steam.

As always, J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts) has the reader at the edge of their seat and laughing also. The suspense and puzzle of "who done it" is excellent. A terrific read for those who like action.

Was a very good book. Something a little different in the way you see Eve's life. Not the page turner of some of the books in this series......but maybe you get to see why Eve does the things she does and acts the way she does with this one.

This story focused a little more on the murders and less on the personal lives of the characters but I didn't mind that. I always enjoy seeing how Eve's mind works and watching her dive into a complex case. She looks at the world differently to most people and puts together clues that most people don't even notice. Peabody has come a long way in her training but it's obvious there's still a lot more that she can learn from her partner. I'm totally invested in this world and the characters now, I love the glimpses we get of people like Mavis and Mira but more than anything I'm 100% here for every single interaction between Eve and Roarke. They're definitely a power couple and I love spending time with them both!

Lt. Eve Dallas and Detective Delia Peabody are investigating the death of Father Miguel Flores who collapsed in the middle of a funeral service. The autopsy shows he died from poison in his communion wine. The autopsy also shows that the priest had a gang tattoo removed and surgery to change his face. The tattoo was from a NYC gang that was prevalent fifteen years ago. As Eve and Peabody work to discover the identity of the priest, a second person dies from poison...this one a TV Evangelist. Is it a coincidence or is there a serial killer?

After 27 books, the series is still going strong. The story started out a little slow but picked up its pace by the middle of the book. Most of the usual cast of characters makes an appearance in this one, along with a bevy of suspects and eyewitnesses. My rating: 4 Stars.

Very good book. This one deals with a subject that is much talked about today; identity theft. Figuring out who is who and what is what causes Eve and Roarke to spend a lot of time untangling the twists and turns in this case. One of the author's best.
