 Fantastic! Incredible! Perfect! April 26, 2008
GinRobi (Timmins, ON, Canada)
Again, Robb brings back the characters we love with a new crime to solve. Roarke works more hands-on this time, getting a real picture of what cops do. He'd never been this 'in' it before, and it was great to see him there, and get his 'feel' for what cops go through during an intense investigation.
Arguments and fights between some of the more active characters make them appear more human and all the more believable.
The plot was good, not so many twists but you get even more information and more of a feel about the perpetrator in this one, a better sense of the why. Although it wasn't complicated, I really loved how it all came down. Ariel was perfectly added as the last 'victim', and I'm glad Eve connected with her on some level. Although only a 'temporary character', I really hope to see her again in a future novel.
What Eve asked Roarke to do - stepping 'over the line' as she did, I wholeheartedly agreed with and would have done the same in her position. I won't go into further detail as it would spoil the ending, but I was more than glad of it. You'll understand what I mean when you read it.

I have to agree with the previous reviewer not one of the better books. But Nora's 'not so great' is still good I think though she is so good that her fans expect a superb book each time and that's just not possible. This book was ok but to be perfectly honest nothing really stood out. The argument between Feeney & Eve was so lame I was like what is the fuss. Roarke and Eve were back on track lovey dovey and some of the lines Nora gives them makes me roll my eyes P-L-E-A-S-E only in books and the movies do people talk like this but oh well.....I wonder who ran Roarkes business while he was in the 'war room' with Eve & crew?? We had the obligatory Mavis visit of course, Nadine getting the inside scoop which again is odd I mean why isn't this causing a big flack with other press people it's pure favoritism.
I do feel that one book is usually quite great then the next blah and this has been going on for awhile now and I'm moreorless expected this one not to be that great since the last one was quite good.
I do feel, and I have been a enormous fan of the death books, that they are getting stale. Cause we know about Eve's background and Roarkes so that aspect is done with so all is left is the murder cases with little personal bits in there so maybe it's only natural that this would be the way it is cause after all she's been writing this series since 1995 even though the actual span of the books is about 2 years which I never understood but that's how it is.
Disappointing November 20, 2007

I love this series so much and couldn't wait to receive the latest. Unfortunately, I found it disappointing. It was so serious -- no fun scenes, no really great stand-out scenes, especially with Roarke. It seemed formulistic and for the first time, I thought Roarke really became a lapdog to Eve's demands. Also, the crime-solving details got very tedious and then --boom, it's over. This is the first of the 25 that hasn't wowed me. That said, I can't wait for the next one!
