8/12/23 3★

(view spoiler)[Good, fast-paced thriller. We were going along really well until the end, say the last 50p, when it became stupidly melodramatic. So, Roarke & Eve are upset at each other because he does what he feels he has to & she gets cranky at him, fair enough, but as far as I can see she had nothing she could have charged Mick for anyway. As for the last blasting denouement, it was absolutely unnecessary & ridiculous, no way would Roarke have been so unprepared so his friend's demise was gratuitous rubbish - shades of Jessica Fletcher.

It seems that Eve is allowed to have friends but Roarke can't, the author seems to want to keep him isolated & it's getting a bit creepy. As for Eve's treatment of Summerset - don't get me started -, she's allowed to speak to him like dirt when she wants something but he's got a stick up his arse when he doesn't want to accomodate her, Pah! I keep reading that Eve has a great sense of humour, even Magda says so, but I've yet to see any evidence of it. I'm even starting to disbelieve in this romance of theirs. Yep, they love each other, but we only see evidence of Eve's feelings under dire circumstances. It makes me tired & I keep hoping for an improvement. (hide spoiler)]
