A new novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series: Lt. Eve Dallas must separate rumors from reality when a woman who traffics in other people’s secrets is silenced.
The chic Manhattan nightspot Du Vin is not the kind of place Eve Dallas would usually patronize, and it’s not the kind of bar where a lot of blood gets spilled. But that’s exactly what happens one cold February evening.
The mortally wounded woman is Larinda Mars, a self-described “social information reporter,” or as most people would call it, a professional gossip. As it turns out, she was keeping the most shocking stories quiet, for profitable use in her side business as a blackmailer. Setting her sights on rich, prominent marks, she’d find out what they most wanted to keep hidden and then bleed them dry. Now someone’s done the same to her, literally—with a knife to the brachial artery.
Eve didn’t like Larinda Mars. But she likes murder even less. To find justice for this victim, she’ll have to plunge into the dirty little secrets of all the people Larinda Mars victimized herself. But along the way, she may be exposed to some information she really didn’t want to know…
Always faithful… Book 45…that’s a lot of books. Each one different in their own way.Eve & Roarke…Always together, always loving each other, off on a new murder trail . With all the irregulars in attendance as usual.I really enjoy this series. As long as Ms.Roberts continues to write these books I will be there to read them.ð
back to some of the best Robb’s written There’s a lot to like in this series entry: I’ve missed Eve’s balky questions about word origins along with getting a real sense of her with Roarke as a couple, I also appreciate that the victim, crimes and murderer here were more nuanced than in some books in the series (though IMO the who was made too obvious), and that the story found power through revisiting both Eve’s and Roarke’s childhoods, but from a different angle than in earlier books. A very welcome entry in the series!
Can we move past DeWinter? I was so ready for this book. I am always ready for a new in Death book, but…
