The most interesting facet of this book was watching Eve's reactions to being a celebrity. Oh sure, she has made the tabloids (a lot) because of her marriage to Roarke, but that was fairly easy to ignore as it didn't really impact on her job. People still react to her as a cop doing a cop's job. Oh the might recognize her as "Roarke's cop", but not very often.
But since the Icove case (Origin in Death, 2005)captured the public's fancy, she has become a celebrity in her own right. Nadine Furst's bestselling true-crime book has brought Eve into a very bright spotlight. Now a whole lot of people have heard of her.
It makes her job as a cop easier (everyone wants to help the famous cop) and that just flummoxes her.
Of course fame has its price--it attracts those who want to challenge her prowess as a cop. And that is the crux of this book.
Not top of the line by any means, but not a bad outing. All long running series have their high and low points. This one is solidly in the middle.
