Eve Ronin #7
Split Screen
Reality and fiction collide in shocking violence for Detective Eve Ronin in a propulsive thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg.
When Erin Casey, the actress who plays LASD detective Eve Ronin on TV, is gunned down after a ride-along, the intended target is the real Eve. What isn’t obvious is why.
As Eve hunts the shooter, her world fractures into more deadly reflections. The new sheriff forces Eve to exploit her fame to burnish his image—or he’ll destroy her partner, Duncan. And a reckless half sister Eve never knew she had pulls her toward a criminal conspiracy that’s already dumped a corpse in a Topanga Canyon ravine.
To save Erin, protect her half sister, and survive herself, Eve must find the killers before they strike again—and before her enemies inside the department finish the job for them.

Eve Ronin #7
Split Screen by Lee Goldberg
In the seventh book of the Eve Ronin series, we get to spend time with Erin Casey, the actress who plays LASD detective Eve Ronin on TV. Erin is getting to ride along with Eve, while Eve works, and Eve is none too happy about this fact. But Erin actually turns out to be likeable, smart, and intuitive and grows on Eve during their time together. Sadly, Erin is gunned down and Eve feels like it is her fault due to one of her many enemies mistaking Erin for Eve.
As usual, a lot of other things are going on at this time, too. Duncan (of donut and all fast food fame) is stuck at his desk due to major infractions which are under investigation. Eve is having to do some very un-Eve-like things to save Duncan's hide, and Eve is having do to some investigative work for her parents she'd rather never see again. All work, no play, and Eve doesn't even want to spend time with her boyfriend.
With all that is going on, death makes a frequent appearance in this story. Since Eve is a homicide detective, that isn't all that unusual. But my favorites from Lee Goldberg's other series, "Sharpe & Walker" also get to make appearances due to fires and explosions. I love that the characters in these two series make crossovers and if you can do so, try to read both series together, in the order that the books take place in the Eve Ronin/Sharpe & Walker world. Each book can be read as a standalone but all together and in order is more fun.
Of course, food plays a big part in the story since Duncan is present. He's big on McDonalds in this book and will go on about the delicacies that can be found there. I vote for more donuts but I'm sure Duncan had more of those than is mentioned in the book, so all is good on that front. Changes are afoot in this series, good changes from what I can see.

Lee Goldberg’s books are like sitting down to watch episodes of a long-running procedural action series. There’s plenty of action, escalating danger, and a detective who somehow manages to find herself at the center of increasingly extraordinary investigations. Split Screen, the seventh installment in Goldberg’s Eve Ronin series, follows this familiar formula. While the novel can be enjoyed independently, it reveals significant developments from previous books, making it better suited to returning readers.
Eve Ronin is something of an idealized detective. Tough, tenacious, and exceptionally skilled, she has devoted so much of herself to her work that little room remains for anything else. She also has an extraordinary talent for becoming involved in cases that spiral into something far larger and more dangerous than anyone initially anticipated. There’s a particularly amusing irony in her latest investigation, which involves the death of a former child star and the near-death of the actress portraying Eve in a television series inspired by her life. After all, how much more can Hollywood exaggerate the exploits of a detective whose actual career already seems larger than life?
Eve’s relationship with her fellow officers remains contentious. Her reputation and unconventional approach to investigations have earned her considerable resentment within the department, leaving her battling institutional resistance almost as frequently as the criminals she pursues. Matters become even more complicated when her captain requires her to participate in social media appearances intended to improve the department’s public image. For someone as fiercely independent and uninterested in popularity as Eve, being turned into a promotional tool is practically its own form of punishment.
Yet beneath Eve’s hardened exterior lies a woman whose personal struggles are considerably more complicated than her professional ones. Her devotion to police work has come at the expense of meaningful relationships, including her romance with the kind and patient Daniel Brooks. Eve questions whether she is even capable of love, a particularly poignant insecurity considering her upbringing. Her father’s pattern of having children with numerous women without assuming the responsibilities of fatherhood may have influenced her understanding of commitment and emotional attachment. Combined with the psychological toll of her career, these experiences suggest that Eve’s greatest challenge may not be confronting dangerous criminals but allowing herself to become emotionally vulnerable.
Unfortunately, Eve’s personal complexity doesn’t entirely compensate for the predictability of the larger narrative. Goldberg knows how to construct an entertaining procedural, but the familiar pattern of increasingly dangerous investigations, departmental opposition, and Eve’s seemingly inexhaustible determination begins to feel formulaic. There’s rarely much doubt that she will find a way to overcome whatever obstacles stand before her. While her intelligence and resilience are admirable, her extraordinary competence sometimes comes at the expense of genuine suspense. I found myself more interested in whether Eve could develop meaningful relationships than in whether she could solve another seemingly impossible case.
One of the more intriguing elements of Split Screen is its exploration of the distance between public perception and private reality. Eve’s life has become entertainment for an audience that sees a dramatized version of her experiences, while the actual woman struggles with professional resentment, emotional isolation, and the consequences of her work. There’s something rather clever about a larger-than-life fictional detective confronting an even more fictionalized version of herself. I appreciated this self-referential element, although I would have welcomed a deeper exploration of the questions it raises about celebrity, authenticity, and the stories people construct about others.
Nicol Zanzarella and Eric Conger narrate the audiobook, with Zanzarella particularly well suited to Eve’s no-nonsense personality. Her performance complements the characterization of a determined detective who takes hit after hit yet somehow manages to rise again. The audio format also feels like a natural match for Goldberg’s cinematic storytelling, reinforcing the impression of listening to an episodic crime drama unfold.
Ultimately, Split Screen is an entertaining but fairly conventional addition to the procedural thriller genre. Goldberg delivers the action, investigative intrigue, and formidable protagonist that readers have come to expect, but I found little that distinguished this installment from the countless other police procedurals available. Like a long-running television series, it remains perfectly watchable even when its familiar formula no longer offers much in the way of surprises. Readers who enjoy action-driven mysteries featuring exceptionally capable detectives will likely appreciate Eve’s latest adventure. For those seeking a more unpredictable or distinctive crime thriller, however, this installment may feel like familiar territory.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
4 solid stars for book 7 in the Eve Ronin series. Both my wife and I recommend this series to police procedural fans. I recommend reading this series in order, as events build in each book in Eve's personal life. The author has a warning at the beginning of the book that there are major spoilers in this book for the previous book. Eve is the subject of a police tv series, based on her arrests as a LA Sheriff's Deputy. The money from this series has enabled her to buy a house in a gated community. The Sheriff of Los Angeles County has ordered Eve to take the star of the show, Erin Casey, on a ride along. Shortly after the ride along, Erin is shot by masked gunmen, who shout "Die Eve Ronin."
Eve investigates, trying to find who the attackers are, and did they have a connection to Eve's enemies. Eve solves this case and others, but does not follow departmental protocol.
There is humor in this book, usually associated with Duncan Pavone, Eve's partner. One quote:
"Rosie and another worker each brought out two trays overflowing with food-double orders of of the three variations of the McBiscuit, McGriddle, the Egg McMuffin and two kinds of bagel sandwiches, plus four orders of hash browns and two big cups of coffee. "
All of the above was for Eve and Duncan. Duncan had ordered.

The seventh book in the Eve Ronin police procedural and crime thriller series,
Split Screen,
is suspenseful, full of suspects, and action-packed. It’s largely set in and around Calabasas, California. Los Angeles County Homicide Detective Eve Ronin is called to the scene of a celebrity death while her partner, Duncan Pavone is on desk duty pending an internal investigation. A new sheriff, Waylon Gifford, has been hired and he wants a face-to-face meeting with Eve. He wants her on social media and has arranged for the actress, Erin Casey, who plays detective Eve Ronin on television to ride-along with Eve for a week. When Erin is shot, Eve hunts the shooter. Then a half sister that Eve didn’t know about shows up and seems to be exhibiting risky behavior. From here, events and relationships become even more critical.
Eve is an energetic, feisty, ambitious, and compelling main character and someone you can root for. She is relentless, intuitive, and has a sense of responsibility to get justice for victims and their families. Her selfless concern for others comes through in each novel. However, she can also be reckless and impatient. She continues to be a flawed protagonist who eventually shows more growth in this novel. Many of her co-workers feel she didn’t earn the promotion to detective. Additionally, the way she challenges things and asks questions sets others on edge and affects them and her. Reading the first six novels in the series provides the reasons for this added drama. Duncan’s character continues to gain depth. He has a great sense of humor, loves food, and is a terrific counterbalance to Eve’s recklessness and inexperience. Several secondary characters from previous novels show up in various supporting or antagonistic capacities, along with several new ones to lend a freshness to the story. These include arson investigators Sharpe and Walker from another series by this author. Sharpe is brilliant at his job, methodical, observant, and experienced, and loves the forensics part of the investigation. However, he tends to speak his mind and isn’t diplomatic when dealing with others. Walker craves action and the independence he had as a US Marshal. He loves the hunt for the criminal, but not the forensics part of the investigation. They balance each other. Sheriff Gifford is manipulative and politically driven.
The author’s note at the beginning of the novel states that there are spoilers for a previous novel in this one. If you plan to read the whole series, I recommend starting with book one. Not only will you avoid the spoilers, but you will get important information on Eve’s background and growth, and you will see how relationships grow and change over time.
The author’s writing style continues to hook me quickly, and the story builds momentum that leads to an action-filled conclusion with several pulse-pounding scenes along the way. The storyline is gripping and kept me engaged from start to finish. It’s suspenseful and there are twists and turns as Eve and others work to discover the criminals. There are a couple of important subplots in the story that center around family drama and department politics. I loved the crossover with Sharpe and Walker. There are a couple of very moving and emotional scenes towards the end of the book.
Overall, this is a tense, entertaining, and engaging novel with suspense, action, and some great twists. It is fast-paced and action-packed. Parts of the story feel so realistic they could be part of a headline today. If you enjoy excellent crime thrillers and police procedurals, then I recommend that you check out this series. I am looking forward to finding out what happens in the next novel.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
The Eve Ronin series are action packed police thrillers that read like they’re ready to be adapted for the screen. Which makes perfect sense as Lee Goldberg has written as many tv screenplays as books.
Split Screen, the 7th in the series, starts with Eve and Duncan investigating the overdose death of a troubled film star. It would seem like an open and shut case. But Goldberg doesn’t write simple plots. There’s a new sheriff in town and he’s basically blackmailing Eve into helping him. And shortly after Erin Casey, who plays Eve on the tv show, does a ride along with Eve, she’s gunned down. And Eve discovers she has a half sister she never knew who is working for a mobster. With all this going on, the story never lets up and it’s high octane all the way.
Sharpe and Walker, the main characters in another of Goldberg’s series, also have important roles here.
This would easily work as a stand-alone but there are some spoilers concerning the previous book
I like that Goldberg is showing more of Eve’s vulnerable side, as she recognizes her own foibles.
My thanks to Netgalley and Thomas & Mercer for an advance copy of this book.

"There's fire in her. If loved correctly, she will warm your entire home. If not, she will burn it down." (Unknown)
Just follow the scorched footprints and they will lead to Detective Eve Ronin of the L.A. Sheriff's Department working Homicide at a fast pace. Ronin does not play well with others. She previously uncovered some seedy officers that slid through life and into its dark corners. The rest are leery of her and avoid her at all costs.
That is all but her partner, "Donuts" Duncan. Duncan is on the tipping point of retirement, but because of some iffy issues, he's relegated to his desk until the higher ups decide his fate. Duncan can't resist the Golden Arches of McDonald's and feeds his stomach multiple times during the day. Eve checks in with him daily. Duncan's brilliance is as big as his belly.
Split Screen can be read as a standalone, but I'd suggest some of the earlier novels to get a feel for these characters. Hollywood has taken notice of Eve's daring exploits. They've created a TV series based on her blossoming career. Eve is revolted by it, but it does employ a goodly amount of talented people.
One of those people is Erin Casey who plays Eve in the series. The resemblance is uncanny. The new sheriff in town, Gifford, wants Erin to ride around with her. According to Gifford, it's good PR for the Sheriff's Department since that scandal broke out not too long ago. Eve is trying to protect Duncan so she agrees. This ride along will have dire consequences.
Lee Goldberg is a stellar author. Each addition to this series is a golden gem. Goldberg doesn't do "fluff". His novels are highly intelligent, challenging, and scientifically sound. He knows his craft well and injects quirky dialogue and witty humor along the way to break up the heaviness of crime at times. There are never dry areas when it comes to Goldberg. He keeps you engaged throughout. And isn't that why we sign on in the first place? Indeed.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
In this 7th book in the 'Eve Ronin' series, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department (LASD) homicide detective gets embroiled in several cases. The book can be read as a standalone.
Background: Eve Ronin was a young deputy in Lancaster when she subdued and arrested action movie star Blake Largo for assaulting a woman. A video of the incident went viral, and Eve leveraged the moment of fame to leap over dozens of more qualified deputies to become a homicide detective in the LASD.
Eve also agreed to a fictional TV series - called Ronin - based on her detective exploits. The Eve Ronin television character performs incredible feats of derring-do, and the public tends to confuse the real Eve and the fictional Eve.
Eve makes lots of money from the Ronin show, and now lives in an expensive house in Calabasas.
Eve's 'unearned' detective status and newfound wealth garners HUGE resentment in the LASD, and Eve trusts few cops to have her back. Luckily, Eve can count on her detective partner/father figure Duncan "Donuts" Pavone, a big man known for his prodigious appetite and McDonalds addiction.
Eve and Duncan recently exposed serious wrongdoing on the part of Sheriff Richard Lansing. Now Lansing is out of a job and Duncan is on desk duty, under investigation for misconduct. Duncan's confinement means he and Eve must collaborate via phone calls; consultations in the office; and outings for food.
With Lansing gone there's a new boss in town, Sheriff Waylon Gifford, a Texan intent on cleaning up the LASD's image. To help with this, Gifford gives Eve a cowboy hat and a selfie stick, and instructs her to make videos for social media. The first clip has Gifford and Eve, side by side on horseback: Gifford says, "There's a new sheriff in town" and Eve adds, "Justice will be served."
Eve is FURIOUS about this social media assignment, and is even more annoyed when she's told the popular actress who plays Eve on screen, Erin Casey, will be doing a ride-along for a few days, to raise the LASD's profile.
As the story moves forward, Eve gets involved in a number of investigations, both officially and unofficially.
★ Juliette Winter, a child star who flamed out as an adult, is found dead in her sauna. This initially looks like an accident, but a drug screen raises suspicions.
★ Dr. Ryan Massey is bludgeoned to death in his medical clinic’s parking lot. Massey's ex-wife and her boyfriend are seen fleeing the scene, and Eve arrests them for murder. However, it may not be as simple as that.
★ Eve agrees to do a favor for her estranged father, Vince Nyby, a semi-retired Hollywood director employed on the Ronin series. Vince loved 'em and left 'em all over town in his younger years, and one of his children, Lauren, seems to have a shady job. Reluctantly, Eve agrees to look into it.
★ The actress who plays Eve, Erin Casey, is pleased with her ride-along, where she can observe real police procedures. There are unfortunate consequences, though, when Erin is mistaken for Eve and shot (but not killed) in a restaurant. Eve isn't supposed to work the case, but she does anyway.
★ The mobile shooting range, used for police officers' periodic firearms qualification, goes up in flames and causes two deaths. This gives Eve the opportunity to work with Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) arson investigators Walter Sharpe and Andrew Walker.
Walker also helps Eve solve another case, and they pursue the perpetrators together.
The book is is action-packed and filled with interesting ancillary characters, including Russian gangsters; Israeli mobsters; Daniel Brooks - Eve's forensic anthropologist boyfriend; Lou Noomis - a crime scene investigator who's a urine expert; Captain Megan Beatie - Eve's new captain, who gets frustrated trying to control Eve; and more.
The novel's lighter moments are provided by the banter between Eve and Duncan, who's a clever guy with a good sense of humor. For instance, Duncan says firefighters need physical fitness, but detectives need deductive reasoning. Duncan jokes there's an old saying about that from ancient Greece:
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
You can run three miles and make perfect time
But only smarts can answer: was it accident or crime?
Duncan's obsession with food is also played for laughs, like the time Duncan urges Eve to attend a cast party, so she can stuff her pockets with goodies for him; and the occasion Duncan does a favor for someone who brings him enough cookies to last until winter.
My major critique of the story centers around how quickly Eve solves cases because of good luck. A coincidence suddenly pops up; a piece of evidence unexpectedly emerges; Eve looks at someone and makes an intuitive leap; that kind of thing. This seems unlikely to happen to real-life investigators.
That said, this an engaging novel that would appeal to many mystery fans.
I had the digital book and the audiobook, narrated by Nicol Zanzarella and Eric Conger, who do a fine job.
Thanks to Netgalley, Lee Goldberg, and Thomas & Mercer for an ARC of the book.

Erin, who plays Eve in the series Ronin, gets permission to ride along with Eve, much to Eve's dismay. Duncan has been placed on admin duty because he revealed some facts about department corruption. Sharpe and Walker the fire investigators are here, too, investigating a fatal fire that killed a police officer. Eve's obnoxious father Vince asks her to look out for one of his other children, her half sister Lauren, who is treading on dangerous territory. Is Vince actually concerned about one of his offspring, or is he using her? Even though I have read the Ronin series, this book would actually work as a stand-alone. Goldberg integrates all of the plots and characters seamlessly, making this one of his best mysteries yet. Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for permitting me to review this advance copy.

I raced through this purely from enjoyment. There’s a main storyline alongside smaller things to solve, brutal humour, great banter and that addictive crime-show feeling that made it such a fun, easy read.
I loved Eve and Duncan together, loved the ending, and never once felt lost despite jumping straight in at Book 7. So glad I finally discovered this series — I’m absolutely continuing.
Thank you to Lee Goldberg, Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this ARC. All opinions are my own.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Thank you so much to Thomas & Mercer and Brilliance Audio for the chance to read and listen to an advance copy of Split Screen by Lee Goldberg, the seventh book in the Eve Ronin series which has become one of my favorites. Since this is a series, I will say up front that this could be read as a standalone, but of course your experience will be richer if you have the full backstory on some of the characters. The author warns that this book has spoilers for book two in the series, Bone Canyon, but I didn’t find that to be much of an issue at all.
I love the main characters, Eve Ronin and Duncan Pavone. Eve can be a lot to take and she can be impulsive, but I really enjoy watching her character grow and mature. Duncan is funny and pretends to be lazy but he really isn’t. He still likes to eat, that’s for sure! He is currently suspended, restricted to desk duty for something in a previous book, but it’s pretty well explained here, for new readers. Eve keeps him in the loop as much as she can, while continuing her investigations.
And there are a bunch of investigations all coming in a few days! First up in an apparent overdose death of an actress, who was famous as a child star. Then there’s a doctor who was murdered outside his office. And the woman who plays Eve in a tv series based on her life, is shot and nearly killed. And Eve finds out about a new-to-her half-sister, who may be in trouble. And then there’s a deadly explosion. It’s a lot! Plus there’s a new sheriff who wants to use Eve to burnish his image.
We also have returning arson investigators Walker and Sharpe, who have their own excellent series. Both series are set in Los Angeles, in “the valley” area mostly. There’s a ton of local atmosphere and regional color. I’ve had the privilege of visiting the general area several times as part of a family visit (just came back from one, in fact!), and the author’s descriptions are great.
I was surprised and delighted by a turn of events at the end of the book. Stay tuned for more of Eve’s adventures!
This was the first time I had access to the audio version and I enjoyed the two narrators, Nicol Zanzarella (the majority of the narration) and Eric Conger.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
First and foremost, a large thank you to NetGalley, Lee Goldberg, and Thomas & Mercer for providing me with a copy of this publication, which allows me to provide you with an unbiased review.
Always eager to explore the latest work from Lee Goldberg, an author I have long enjoyed, I was excited to return to Detective Eve Ronin. As with the best entries in this series, this thriller moves at a brisk, almost television-like pace, with Goldberg’s screenwriting instincts evident in the sharp plotting, quick chapters, and steady escalation of tension.
The premise immediately grabs the reader. When the actress portraying Eve Ronin on television is gunned down after a ride-along, it becomes clear that the real Eve may have been the intended target. From there, the story expands in several unexpected directions, bringing in the new sheriff, threats to Eve’s partner Duncan, and a half sister Eve never knew she had. Goldberg does an excellent job juggling these moving pieces without losing sight of the central investigation.
Eve remains a compelling protagonist. Her gruff nature and determination to prove herself make her easy to root for, while this installment gives longtime readers a little more insight into the family history she has kept close to the vest. Returning characters, including a few familiar faces from Goldberg’s other work, add depth to the story, while the new characters fit naturally into the increasingly complicated plot.
What I particularly enjoy about Goldberg’s writing is his ability to manipulate the narrative and keep the reader engaged. The story moves quickly, but it never feels rushed. Just when things seem to be settling into place, another revelation or complication changes the direction, keeping the reader attentive and invested. There is very little downtime, and the twists arrive frequently enough to keep the outcome uncertain.
This is another strong entry in the Eve Ronin series and a thoroughly entertaining read. Fans of the series will appreciate the additional glimpses into Eve’s personal history, while the tightly constructed plot and relentless pacing make this a satisfying thriller on its own merits. I was well pleased with the book and, as always, am already looking forward to seeing where Lee Goldberg takes Eve Ronin next.
Kudos, Mr. Goldberg, for ensuring a great reading experience.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Once again, thank you to Lee Goldberg for the ARC. I’ve read almost all of his series except Diagnosis Murder and the Jury books, and with his consistent track record, he sits right at the top of my favorite authors list. This was another absolute win.
What I enjoyed most was how multiple murders that initially seem unrelated are slowly and intelligently tied together. On the surface, there are obvious suspects who could easily have been convicted, but it’s the combined work of Eve, Duncan, Sharpe, and Walker that uncovers the truth. The investigative work here is sharp, efficient, and very satisfying. Duncan is especially impressive as a damn good detective, particularly compared to Eve’s impulsive style. The way he zeroes in on the two shooters so quickly really stood out.
All the characters fit seamlessly into the story. The new media-savvy sheriff manipulating Eve into playing along with his agenda adds an interesting dynamic. Eve knows she is being used and feels like a sellout, but she goes along with it to protect the people she cares about. Her personal life, especially with the introduction of her half-sister, is handled without ever feeling like filler.
There is a lot happening here, from multiple murders, Eve's personal life, yet the book remains tight, fast-paced, and incredibly efficient. It avoids the usual filler and heavy backstory while still giving enough depth to Eve’s relationships and conflicts. I never felt the need to skim. This is exactly the kind of crisp, engaging storytelling I prefer over long, overly descriptive novels that feel like classics. Easily my favorite read of 2026 so far.

In Goldberg’s Los Angeles Sheriff Deputy Eve Ronin series, he explores the interactions between fact and fiction so endemic of Los Angeles. “It was always jarring for Eve to be in the make-believe version of her real world.” Ronin is a young homicide detective whose exploits have been so over-the-top that a television series has been made about her.
In this split screen version of Eve’s life, worlds collide. That specifically means her real world and the fantasy make believe works of television about her collide. The sheriff forces her to allow Erin who plays Eve on the tv show to ride along for a day.
Erin, though, comes prepared for the part down to the T, dressing like Eve and driving an identical car to Eve’s car. In addition to making it a bit confusing to crime scene investigators, it puts Erin in the cross-hairs of an assassin gunning fir Eve, but who follows Erin from the sheriff station to a restaurant in old Calabasas.
What this means is that Eve gets a bulletin announcing she’s been shot, maybe killed. The first responders apparently didn’t even know which Eve got hit until they could clear the blood away as the resemblance was so uncanny.
Eve puts out a tik tok announcement though stating the killer missed her and she’s coming after him with everything she’s got.
Once again, Goldberg dies a great job showing how at least in Los Angeles fact and fiction blend into each other.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
The new sheriff makes Eve Ronin get on a HORSE, put on a cowboy hat, and gallop toward a camera announcing that justice will be served. Eve Ronin. The woman whose resting emotional state is “I would rather chew glass than participate in team-building.” And she agrees because Sheriff Gifford is holding Duncan’s career and pension over her head. I knew within five minutes that this man was going to spend the entire book making choices that caused my blood pressure to develop its own blood pressure.
Then he tells her Erin Casey, the actress who plays Eve on the TV show Ronin, is riding along with her for a week, because apparently humiliating Eve on social media did not satisfy his quarterly goals. Erin looks like Eve, dresses like Eve, drives the same kind of car as Eve, and has basically been professionally studying Eve while Eve has spent years pretending this television show does not exist. Naturally Eve expects to hate her. Naturally she ends up liking her. Naturally somebody then shoots Erin while yelling, “Die, Ronin, die,” because absolutely nothing in this woman’s life is allowed to progress from acquaintance to friendship without gunfire becoming involved.
And that is ONE THING happening. Eve is also looking into the death of former child star Juliette Winter, who is found dead in her steam room and whose history makes an overdose look like the easy answer. Then a doctor ends up murdered. Then things start connecting in ways that made me repeatedly go back and reconsider people I had already mentally cleared. Then there is an explosion at the LASD firearms training trailer. Duncan was supposed to be there. Eve is trying not to react to that like Duncan is basically her father, best friend, conscience, and emergency emotional-support donut dispenser all rolled into one exhausted man, but absolutely nobody is fooled.
Duncan being stuck on desk duty is especially offensive because Duncan Pavone can apparently solve crimes from a chair while eating something terrible for him faster than half the department can solve them while physically standing at the crime scene. Eve is all instincts and forward momentum. Duncan is the man who quietly asks one annoying little question and suddenly your airtight murder theory is lying facedown on the floor. Their relationship remains one of my favorite things about this series because neither of them needs to announce how much they love each other. Duncan keeps postponing retirement because Eve continues being Eve, and Eve will apparently let herself be turned into the sheriff’s TikTok cowgirl before she lets Duncan lose everything protecting her. That's it. That's their love language. Terrible dietary choices and mutually assured career destruction.
And because Eve apparently had several unused hours in her week, her father Vince drops another half sister into her lap. Lauren is trying to launch herself into journalism by poking around a high-end gambling operation and has gotten close enough to actual dangerous people that Eve now has to investigate THAT too. I need the Ronin family to discover hobbies that do not become felony investigations. Pottery. Pickleball. Birding. Anything. Eve already has Lisa, her mother, her father, department enemies, murder victims, the fictional version of herself, and now Lauren appears like, “Hi, we're related, also there may be organized crime.” Perfect. Bring a casserole next time.
And then Sharpe and Walker show up. YES. The arson boys have entered the chat. The firearms trailer explosion brings them into Eve’s orbit, and watching these particular personalities collide is exactly as much fun as I wanted it to be. Eve has very little patience for theater, Sharpe practically breathes theater, Walker is somewhere nearby trying to ensure everybody behaves like employable adults, and Duncan is still running investigations from his desk like some kind of carbohydrate-fueled Oracle of Delphi. Somehow this ridiculous collection of people starts untangling cases that look separate until little connections begin snapping into place, and suddenly I was sitting there realizing I had trusted several extremely obvious explanations like an amateur.
The part that got me, though, is Eve finally beginning to understand that her whole “I don't need anyone” situation has maybe stopped being independence and started being a demolition plan. Her relationship with Daniel is paying the price because work always gets whatever part of her is available, and everyone else gets the scraps. She knows Duncan matters. She knows her family matters, even when they make her want to fake her own death. She even lets Erin matter. But actually allowing people inside the walls is still terrifying to her. Eve can walk toward somebody with a gun more easily than she can walk toward somebody who wants emotional honesty. That feels painfully right for her, and I did not need the book to explain it to death. She knows. We know. Moving on before feelings happen.
By the end, so many things had happened that I felt like Eve had solved an entire season of television while everyone else was still filming the pilot. Murder, celebrity overdoses, Russian criminals, department grudges, Israeli mobsters, arson, bad relationships, secret siblings, attempted murder, police politics, and Sheriff Yosemite Sam still trying to make Eve good for public relations. Then the final changes at Lost Hills hit, and OH. We are rearranging furniture now. Duncan’s situation changes in a big way, Eve’s professional future shifts with it, and suddenly the next book is going to have an entirely different chemistry. I am extremely into this development and already worried about what these people are going to do with it.
Split Screen gets 4.5 stars from me. This is Eve Ronin operating at full Eve Ronin capacity, solving four crimes while accidentally confronting one emotion and making both activities look equally life-threatening. I loved having Duncan, Sharpe, and Walker all tangled up in the same mess, I loved the real-Eve/fake-Eve insanity with Erin, and I loved that the book keeps handing Eve obvious answers just so she can stare at them suspiciously until they confess to being lies. Seven books in and this woman still cannot have one normal workweek. Thank God.

Goldberg’s 7th offering in his Detective Eve Ronin series, of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department begins with the death of a former child star. No one seems surprised when Juliette Winter is found naked and dead in her bathroom. She had been addicted to drink and drugs for years. More surprising is the death of Dr. Ryan Massey, of Calabasas Oaks Health Partners. He was bashed to death with a baseball bat—the obvious suspects are his ex-wife, Mira Jurek, and her boyfriend, Toby Keeling. [Much too obvious for a Goldberg plot!]
Then Eve drops in to the wrap party for the first season of the TV show based on her exploits, and her estranged father, Vince Nyby, asks her to find out where another one of his daughters—Lauren Robinson, a step-sister Eve hadn’t even known about—has gotten all the money she is flaunting.
LASD’s new head, decides to force Eve to publicly endorse his leadership and to allow Erin Casey, the actress who plays her on ‘Ronin’ to follow her around, even to murder scenes. There are unexpected twists. Walker & Sharpe show up as Walker helps Eve with a related arson investigation—their specialty.
Enjoy the twisty plot and the humorous food-related banter with Duncan.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Eve Ronin is a minor celebrity, as some of her actions in the past were caught on video, went viral, and, much to the consternation of some in the LA County Sheriff Department, led to her early promotion to detective. Much to her dismay, a TV series has been made based on her exploits. She is partnered with experienced detective Duncan “Donuts" Pavone who never passes up the opportunity for food.
Pavone has been sidelined to a desk job, and Eve is pushed into helping the new sheriff in town promote the department on social media. Part of that involves allowing the actress who portrays her in the TV series to do a ride-along. When the actress is shot by gunmen shouting “Die, Ronin, die”, Eve takes it upon herself to find them while also investigating the death of another actress, the murder of a local doctor, the questionable activities of a step-sister she never knew she had, and an explosion at the police shooting range.
This is the seventh in the Eve Ronin series; I have read all of them, although this would work as a standalone. Lee Goldberg’s books are well-written, fast-paced, and feature good character development. I particularly enjoy the humor displayed by some of the characters. While the actions and plots may sometimes stretch the imagination, they are never too far-fetched.
Eve is juggling multiple cases, and Goldberg seamlessly transitions from one to another. Eve is a great character - a loose cannon who is determined and unrelenting.
I also enjoy the crossovers of other of Goldberg's series characters that he includes. In this book, Eve has the opportunity to work with Sharpe and Walker, arson investigators from another of his popular series. Eve has appeared in some of the Sharpe and Walker installments.
I would recommend this series to fans of mysteries/thrillers/police procedurals, especially those featuring personable main characters. All of the books do work as standalone novels.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Goldberg has cleverly merged two separate series – one featuring a female murder investigator and another focusing on two arson investigators. In this story, Eve Ronin (a rookie who quickly climbed the ranks thanks to her filmed arrest of an abusive movie star) takes the lead role. But in all honesty the books are quickly merging into a ‘universe’ akin to that created by Michael Connelly. Set not far from Connelly’s tales, the action focuses in an area in around the monied city of Calabasas, California.
There are multiple cases here, enough to keep all of the major returning figures busy. Ronin is being shadowed by the actress who plays her in a television series which seeks to portray adventures from her high action career; a new sheriff seeks to piggyback Eve’s popularity to his own advantage; Eve discovers she has a half-sister who is in trouble; A fire causes chaos at the police station. It’s all handled adeptly with a mix of action and humour, and with great dialogue between this group of interesting characters.
It’s really not intended to be taken too seriously. But, it’s so well done that I always barge my way through these books in no time at all. Can’t wait for the next episode.
My thanks to Thomas & Mercer for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Los Angeles County Detective Eve Ronin is less than thrilled to have her professional life story revealed to the world via a successful TV series, but since both her father and mother are involved in the production, she’s reluctant to rock the boat. She’s even more reluctant to have Erin Casey, the actress who plays her on the show, tag along on her investigations for a week, supposedly so she can better identify with her character. As usual, Eve’s instincts were spot-on; at one stop, a shooter takes Erin down for the count (though not out; she’ll be hospitalized for a while but is expected to return to her small screen role).
Meanwhile, back at the office, Eve’s partner Duncan Pavone is on career hold while his previous actions are being investigated. There’s even a new sheriff in town – Waylon Gifford – who’s angling for a big-time political career and wants to use Eve’s media popularity as a catapult. Eve, though, manages to take most of it in stride as she tries to find out who shot Erin. That is, until the truth hits: Erin wasn’t the real target – she was. Whoops – back to square one.
Needless to say, nothing is that simple; this isn’t the only storyline in the book. Along the way, Eve discovers she has a half sister she never knew about – and worse, the girl is mixed up with some very nasty people but refuses to believe it. Eve decides, albeit reluctantly, that she has a responsibility to get her out of harm’s way. In the midst of all that comes tension between Eve and her boyfriend, forensic anthropologist Daniel Brooks, and she must deal with at least a couple of other murders. The subsequent investigations bring in two of my other favorite characters from another favorite series – arson investigators Walter Sharpe and Andy Walker, plus a couple of other familiar faces from other books.
Does it all get a little bit confusing? It’s all a little bit over the top, yes, but also great fun to read (especially for loyal readers who have followed this author’s books religiously, though I’ll emphasize that this one stands on its own just fine). And I assure you all those loose ends get tied up at the end, albeit with a few unexpected twists. The bottom line? Another don’t-miss installment for which I thank the publisher, via NetGalley, for the pre-release copy to read and review. Now go get your own!

Split Screen by Lee Goldberg is a very highly recommended, action-packed thriller/police procedural and the seventh book in the Eve Ronin series, although, as Goldberg notes in his opening comments, it can be enjoyed as a standalone novel.
Detective Eve Ronin of the L.A. Sheriff's Department is on the scene of the suspected murder of former childhood star Juliette Winter, when she is called to meet with the new sheriff in town, Waylon Gifford. Due to the hit TV procedural based on Ronin, Gifford pressures her to exploit her fame by developing a social media presence and allowing the actress who plays her, Erin Casey, to ride along with her for a week. If she refuses, he pointedly threatens her partner and friend Duncan "Donuts" who has been relegated to desk duty. So, the ride-alongs happen, but not without incident as Erin is mistaken for Eve and shot early on. The incidents and cases follow at a lightning fast speed right up to the surprising conclusion.
It is such an entertaining pleasure to read this well-written, fast-paced action-packed procedural that includes several cases and even side quests. The investigations are all logically investigated and solved, even with unexpected twists, connections, and complications along the way. There is no downtime as one incident, one revelation, follows another and Ronin is busy and on the move throughout the whole novel. The plot is compelling and the pace so fast the pages just fly by as you eagerly follow the action. I thoroughly enjoyed Split Screen and was completely immersed in the plot throughout the whole novel.
Eve Ronin is a great character and even though Duncan is on desk duty the good news is that he still plays a strong role in the plot. Eve continues to be impulsive at times but her intelligence, good instincts, determination, and observational skills also shine through. The interactions between characters is quick, clever, and sometimes sarcastic, sometimes humorous. Arson investigators Sharpe and Walker from another Goldberg series make an appearance too.
Split Screen is an excellent choice for readers who enjoy action-packed procedurals/thrillers. Thanks to Thomas & Mercer for providing me with an advance reader's copy via NetGalley. My review is voluntary and expresses my honest opinion.

Title: Split Screen
Series: Eve Ronin #7
Author: Lee Goldberg
Publisher: Thomas & Mercer
Genre: Mystery Thriller,
Pub Date: October 20, 2026
My Rating: 4.5
Pages: 299
Eve Ronin is the youngest homicide detective in the history of LA County Sheriff’s Department. She works at the Sheriff’s Office in the Lost Hills Station in Calabasas.
There are several murder investigations going on in this story. Starting with finding actress Juliette Winter dead. She lives alone in her beautiful nine thousand square foot home that has a six-car garage as well as eight bedrooms.
There were no signs of a break-in, nor anything taken- in fact the house was locked when Georgina Sabella her assistant, arrived at nine and found her in the stream room. It turns out she died from an overdose – however, Eve and the investigative team are suspicious.
This story continues but switches to another issue that is happening to Eve.
Eve and her Partner ‘Donuts’ Duncan Pavone are a great crime-fighting duo. Only Duncan is currently on desk duty at the Lost Hills station as he is being investigated regarding coverup information he shouldn’t have revealed to a reporter. Eve was involved but Duncan took blame before Eve was dragged into it.
However, she is somewhat in the hot seat and must report to Sheriff Waylon Gifford. Gifford is a native Texan in his fifties and famous for riding in taking over troubled law enforcement agencies and riding on out. In this situation, he wants to exploit her fame by controling Eve via social media.
Each day she will send a video to the agency’s public information office who will post them.
Next week actress Erin Caseywil be doing a ride-along with her.
Thus, a true crime show has been creation of Eve’s famous detective experiences. Erin Casey is the actress who plays Eve on TV.
However, when in real life-Erin is gunned down after a ride-along.
Was Eve the intended target?
The title Split Screen’ is happening in Eve’s life, her real life and her TV life have just collided.
But when Eve and Duncan get involved in the Juliet Winter investigation, they find something that we readers who follow celebrity news will find familiar.
I have read the other stories in this series as well and love Lee Goldberg!
I enjoyed all the Fox and O’Hare series that Goldberg coauthored with Janet Evanovich.
When I read
his book “Calico: - which I loved.
I made a comment in my review ~
I have several authors that I totally love not only because of their stories with twists and turns but also their wit and humor.
Harlan Coben is at the top of my list~~ Now Lee Goldberg is high on my list as well!
Yes, I enjoy Lee Goldberg’s stories on several levels. Love when things get too deep, his humor comes shining through to lighten-up things.

Split Screen takes off in a big way when Erin Casey, the actress cast to portray Eve Ronin in the television adaptation of her cases, is brutally gunned down in Malibu.
How I love the Eve Ronin series, and book #7 was filled with all of the things I've grown to love and appreciate - especially the humor. (Please don't EVER end this series, Mr. Goldberg!!) This was a fun read, even though there were a few times the tension had me sitting on the edge of my seat! I loved the crossover when arson investigators Sharpe and Walker made an appearance. And the Connelly nod!
I highly recommend you read this series for both the drama AND the laughter!!
HUGE thanks to #ThomasAndMercer for providing this book for consideration and review via #NetGalley. All opinions are my own. Split Screen has an expected publication date of October 20, 2026.

Well, that was a roller coaster. Review to follow.
Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
One viral video of LASD Detective Eve Ronin taking a celebrity into custody for assault was all it took to make Eve a celebrity herself, much to her utter disdain. Launching a television series based loosely on her life, with her struggling actress mother getting a bit part and her absentee father coming out of the woodwork to secure himself a director job, Eve would rather the whole headache went away, including her desperately fame hungry parents. But when a new sheriff comes to town with the expectation of cleaning up the tarnished image of the LA Sheriff’s Department, he enlists—or rather, blackmails— Eve into using her celebrité to help him, and that includes orders for several ride-alongs with the actress who plays Eve on the show.
While this book can be a standalone read, the author does warn that it contains some spoilers from previous installments in the series. Arson investigators Sharpe and Walker from the author’s other terrific series also crossover to make an appearance, which is pretty common, so it is strongly encouraged that you read all books from both series in the order they were published because they are both great and you don’t want to miss out. The end of this one hints at great things to come for all involved and I, for one, can’t wait!
NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer kindly provided me an ARC of this book, which I have read and reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

A Little Bit Hollywood and a Lot of Adrenaline
The highly driven Detective Eve Ronin has become the subject of a hit television series, and it’s only complicated her life. The L.A. County Sheriff loves the publicity the series brings. He publicly pressures Eve to cooperate with the show and allows the actress who portrays Eve, Erin Casey, to shadow Eve on the job for a few days. After one of the ride-alongs, Erin is shot, and Eve realizes she may have been the real target.
At the same time, Eve is investigating the suspicious death of Juliette Winter, a former Hollywood child star. Eve also discovers she has a half-sister she never knew existed who might be involved in an illegal gambling scheme. Should Eve get involved?
Split Screen is the seventh book in the Eve Ronin police-procedural series. Even though I'd never read any books in this series, I still found it easy to follow. It is a fast-moving police procedural thriller with several investigations happening at the same time. I don’t think Eve slept at all during the entire book!
Goldberg’s writing is extremely fast-paced. Only read this if you want an adrenaline rush; there’s so much going on that I felt like I was drinking from a fire hose. It's almost too fast. I guess that’s not surprising given Goldberg’s experience as a television writer and producer. His dialogue and chapters are both quick and punchy.
Eve’s hard-charging character drives the narrative. Her supporting cast is full of colorful characters, including Eve’s partner Duncan “Donuts” Pavone, Waylon Giffon, the hat-obsessed L.A. County Sheriff, actress Erin Casey, and Eve’s estranged father and newly found half-sister. All are unique and well-developed
I particularly liked the scenes between Eve and her partner, Duncan “Donuts,” who is currently on desk duty for a past transgression. Their chemistry is unique, and their dialogue is especially sarcastic and funny. One of my absolute favorite scenes was using the surround cameras of a new electric car to potentially solve a case.

4.5 Stars ⭐️
This book was a breath of fresh air this week and I happened to read it at just the right time. This is the 7th book in this series and we also had a pretty huge series and character crossover with the Sharpe and Walker series.
In this book, there is a new Sheriff in town and he immediately let’s Eve know that he is NOT a fan. He believes that she does not belong in the department and he starts his reign by blackmailing Eve into following a set of requirements.She agrees because he is threatening her with Duncan’s job and holding his pension hostage. No one is sure how to respond when they see Eve towing the party line and even posting on her social media feeds. What?!
When one of the requirements is letting Erin (the actress who plays Eve on her television series) shadow Eve around for a week, those who know Eve know that something is definitely off. To Eve’s surprise, she finds that she actually likes Erin and things explode when an assassin goes after the wrong “Eve”. The action only grows as Eve is determined to find and punish the ones responsible.
Eve’s week is busy with non-stop cases and danger and since Duncan is on desk duty, she enlists the help of Walker as her back up (Yes, Walker). Things only get worse with a terrifying accident that has her even more set on finding and solving the culprits.
It was an interesting decision bringing Walker in to the mix, the two of them intertwining well. Before you know it, Sharpe is there as well to give his expertise. As usual, I love seeing Sharpe and Walker, and seeing the banter between Sharpe and Walker and Eve was funnier than I expected.
In this series, we have watched Eve grow as a character as she has begun to realize that she has a problem letting people into her life. So far, her family and Duncan are the only ones in that precious circle. We see her doing some serious soul searching as she struggles with trying to do better. To be better.
Even though we get to see a lot of Eve’s emotional journey, this book is still filled with drama and action from beginning to end. Eve finally makes a decision that had me putting my fist in the air. It was about time and was a long time coming. I just hope she sticks with her decision. I loved it and the book was over before I knew it.
The ending of this book has some VERY interesting changes coming to the Lost Hills Station. I am looking forward to see how everything is going to shake out.
Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for the opportunity to read and review this ARC. This book will be out for publication on October 20, 2026.

Split Screen is the 7th book in the Eve Ronin series, and is one of the best! Ronin is a homicide detective with the LASD, promoted without any real experience after she made an arrest that went viral, drawing the ire of many of her fellow officers, especially after a TV series debuted featuring her character. In this book, Eve is shadowed by the actress who plays her in the series, and Eve quickly catches a homicide involving a washed up actress. The action is fast and furious here, keeping the reader on their toes as the bodies drop, pin balling Eve from scene to scene. The book is also constantly punctuated with wisecracks and sardonic humor, a trademark of this series, and it’s a big part of what makes these stories so enjoyable, with plenty of laughs to balance the subject matter. You can read this as a standalone, but be prepared to read the other books as this one will have new readers scurrying for the backlist. Absolutely love this series, and can’t wait for (hopefully) more. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A New Side of Ronin — Future Novels Will Change
Eve Ronin is the responding detective in the death of Juliette Winters in her home. Winters had skyrocketed to fame in a young adult show. All was well until she began using drugs, and her career hit rock bottom. Winters lives in a gated community within a gated community. Her assistant found her in her sauna at 7:30 am. This and four other cases come Eve Ronin’s way as the novel proceeds.
Five cases are solved in this novel. Winter’s death is just the first. All the cases are typical Eve Ronin cases. One is deeply personal, and another is highly suspicious. The best part of this novel is Eve’s psychological side. This aspect of the novel begins with the issues affecting Ronin’s mindset. The first is the new Sheriff’s campaign to show that there is a new Sheriff in town. He convinces her to make a TV ad with him. Then she must submit a short video of herself every day for the Sheriff’s Department to post on social media. Lastly, the actress Erin Carey, who portrays Ronin on the TV show, joins her for a weeklong ride-along. All of these are at the bottom of Ronin’s bucket list. She is also considering canceling the highly successful show based on her. Lastly, her partner, Duncan Pavone, is restricted to desk duty until a decision is made on his disciplinary situation. Last on the long list is that her acting Captain is failing to control Ronin. As for the novel, it is a rapid read, just like the previous novels in which she appears. It is definitely action-packed, but there is more than a minimal mental side. There are several tsunami-level twists that kept me riveted to the novel’s end. A few will drastically change the nature of the future novels in this series.
Several B-storyline threads run through the novel, but only one is truly significant. Events in Ronin’s professional and personal life have led to an epiphany. Uncharacteristic of Ronin, she discusses it with her sister and Walker, a friend and arson investigator. She even says she has already arranged treatment. For the first time, I have seen that she is more than just an action hero. As she is fundamentally changing, this thread can be considered a C-storyline. Seeing this change significantly enhanced my enjoyment of this novel.
This novel contains elements that may cause some readers to stop reading. There are no intimate scenes, but there are lead-ups and aftermaths, so for some readers, this aspect may not be a clean no. Vulgar language is present at a noticeable level, with impious language much less frequent. The violence is not described as it happens, but eyewitness interviews and video provide much of the violence descriptions in depth. If you have made it through the previous novels, this novel should not be a problem. This novel is the seventh in this series. Ronin has appeared in two Sharpe and Walker novels. Both of them appear in this novel. Long-term threads continue in this novel. I believe there is adequate backfill, so this novel could be the first to read.
There was nothing in this novel that rubbed me the wrong way. I especially liked the ending. Three of the tsunami-level twists occur at the novel’s end. The next novel will be quite different. These twists could be considered loose ends, but they are not, as they do not affect this novel; they only whet my appetite for the next novel. This is the twelfth novel from several series and a standalone. I have purchased four more. I highly recommend this novel, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was easy to give this novel five stars.
I received the free, pre-publication e-book of this novel from Thomas & Mercer via NetGalley. My review is based solely on my reading experience. Thank you, Thomas & Mercer, for the opportunity to read and review this novel early.

Lastly, the actress Erin Carey, who portrays Ronin on the TV show, joins her for a weeklong ride-along. All of these are at the bottom of Ronin’s bucket list. She is also considering canceling the highly successful show based on her. Lastly, her partner, Duncan Pavone, is restricted to desk duty until a decision is made on his disciplinary situation. Last on the long list is that her acting Captain is failing to control Ronin. As for the novel, it is a rapid read, just like the previous novels in which she appears. It is definitely action-packed, but there is more than a minimal mental side. There are several tsunami-level twists that kept me riveted to the novel’s end. A few will drastically change the nature of the future novels in this series.
Several B-storyline threads run through the novel, but only one is truly significant. Events in Ronin’s professional and personal life have led to an epiphany. Uncharacteristic of Ronin, she discusses it with her sister and Walker, a friend and arson investigator. She even says she has already arranged treatment. For the first time, I have seen that she is more than just an action hero. As she is fundamentally changing, this thread can be considered a C-storyline. Seeing this change significantly enhanced my enjoyment of this novel.
This novel contains elements that may cause some readers to stop reading. There are no intimate scenes, but there are lead-ups and aftermaths, so for some readers, this aspect may not be a clean no. Vulgar language is present at a noticeable level, with impious language much less frequent. The violence is not described as it happens, but eyewitness interviews and video provide much of the violence descriptions in depth. If you have made it through the previous novels, this novel should not be a problem. This novel is the seventh in this series. Ronin has appeared in two Sharpe and Walker novels. Both of them appear in this novel. Long-term threads continue in this novel. I believe there is adequate backfill, so this novel could be the first to read.
There was nothing in this novel that rubbed me the wrong way. I especially liked the ending. Three of the tsunami-level twists occur at the novel’s end. The next novel will be quite different. These twists could be considered loose ends, but they are not, as they do not affect this novel; they only whet my appetite for the next novel. This is the twelfth novel from several series and a standalone. I have purchased four more. I highly recommend this novel, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was easy to give this novel five stars.
I received the free, pre-publication e-book of this novel from Thomas & Mercer via NetGalley. My review is based solely on my reading experience. Thank you, Thomas & Mercer, for the opportunity to read and review this novel early.

The story starts with the death of an actress by an apparent drug overdose which isn't totally unexpected since she's been an addict for years and has blown up her career a few times because of it.
While waiting for the tox screen, Eve's called to meet with her new Sheriff. He wants to use Eve's reputation to burnish the tattered reputation of the LASD. He uses her partner's future as a lever to force Eve to comply. Duncan is under investigation for actions around the forced resignation of the former Sheriff. The new Sheriff also orders Eve to take the actress portraying her on the television show about her career.
Erin Casey shows up for the ride along in a car identical to Eve's and dressing and looking more like Eve than Eve does. Eve takes Erin along while she runs an errand for her estranged father who is one of the producers on Erin's show. It seems that her father has scattered other illegitimate children throughout the area and one is in trouble. Her mother is convinced that she's involved herself in prostitution after failing to find a job in journalism. Eve slips a tracker onto her new half-sister's car to see where she's been going all those nights she's out impossibly late.
Then another call comes in and Erin finds herself really seeing what Eve does. A noted doctor is found beaten with a baseball bat next to his bougie car and behind his clinic. That one should be a no-brainer since the doctor's partner saw the doctor's ex-wife and current boy toy speeding away from the scene.
But then Erin is shot while out for coffee with a friend and Eve believes that it is because someone thought she was Eve. Of course, the shooter shouting "Die, Ronin, die" was sort of a clue. Since videos of the scene indicate the shooters could be from a Russian mob, she recruits Walker to go along with her to see a mob boss he knows which leads to all sorts of complications.
This was a busy episode with lots of realizations for Eve and lots of changes for the whole cast of characters. I enjoyed the fast-paced action.

Well, I've done it again. LOL. Somehow, I managed to pick up book seven in a series without realizing it. Apparently, checking that before starting a book is just not something I do.
This was also my first book by Lee Goldberg, and I really enjoyed it!
I love a good crime thriller, and this one had plenty going on. Eve Ronin is a detective who actually has a television show based on her life. When the actress playing her gets shot, things get pretty interesting, especially when it becomes clear that Eve was likely the intended target.
Between the investigations, the department drama, and everything happening in Eve's personal life, there was never a shortage of things going on. I enjoyed the story, the characters, and the humor mixed in along the way.
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Nicol Zanzarella and Eric Conger, and I really enjoyed both narrators. They did a great job bringing the characters to life, and this was one of those stories that worked really well on audio.
Now, even though I jumped in at book seven, I had no problem following the story. It absolutely works as a standalone. HOWEVER, there are spoilers from previous books, so keep that in mind if you're planning to read the entire series.
Overall, a solid 4 stars for me! I enjoyed my first experience with Lee Goldberg and would definitely listen to more of his books. Maybe I'll even start at the beginning of a series next time. No promises, though. LOL.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Split Screen picks up just weeks after Fallen Star, with Duncan on desk duty pending the fallout of his whistleblowing on the now disgraced sheriff Lansing. So there is a new sheriff in town, a Texan who is a cliche of a sheriff with the hat and horse riding, to clean up the LASD and he takes a special interest in Eve's fame to do it. Walker & Sharpe also show up as Walker helps Eve and have a related arson investigation.
I like this series, it is easy reading. Some of the books I have read lately got dark and while Eve does explore her feelings more than usual, it isn't as trauma dumping as some of my recent reads. It sets up both the Walker/Sharpe series and the Ronin series for some great future ideas, closes up a lot of the past drama giving the series a bit of a reset for the future (helps for the possible tv series too).
But Eve is an impulsive as ever and while she keeps saying she has grown since she leapfrogged many others to detective, she keeps showing she is still quite green as a person and detective. Multiple times she says she has to watch for being focused on a particular suspect while still doing it and even interfering in other cases doing the same.
While this is book 7 in the series, they are readable as standalones, but it does include some spoilers if you are reading Bone Canyon or Fallen Star later.
