Say what you like about Nora Roberts/J.D. Amazing that it was still a top read only a year after the first reading! This one is notable for the relaxed relationship between Eve and Roarke and the excellent and entertaining dialogue between the two of them. Speaking of giving and taking I seriously suspect Roarke of being the Candy Thief - if he can keep Eve's office auto chef stocked with healthy soup he could also remove her hidden candy bars. Roarke and Eve are certainly in a happy place right now, both of them adjusting to the way they have to give and take. The police work is good and I thought the ending was pretty tense.Īs usual the success of the book hinges on the relationships and the little things which happen to all the characters as their lives proceed. There is a very crazy lady who does some really crazy things but Eve of course is on to her. It's a good one! The topic is very relevant to current events although actions are taken way in excess of the norm (we hope anyway). So much for saving it and making it last. I managed to leave this book on the shelf for two weeks before my steely resolve collapsed and I grabbed it and read it as fast as I could. He's gone from an alpha to a beta, but he's still hot. But Eve an Roarke's relationship is pretty steady these days, and Roarke continues to be one of my favorite book boyfriends. I always wish for more interactions between Peabody and McNab, and never get it. Who am I to judge her methods of processing her emo feelings? I for one will be thinking that CWW might have done womankind a favor, even if she went a little too far. Don't call this your "art", Not-Dave!!Įve is determined to catch CWW, even if these guys had it coming. Writing bad poetry about scorned love? Girl, why don't you just dye your hair black and listen to angry lesbian indie music instead? It will be a lot less jaily that way.Īlthough some "poets" should go to jail. Again, totally channeling the teenage angst. She is killing all the mens and leaving bad poetry with their mutilated bodies about how they deserved it. My diabolical plan was diabolical.Ĭrazy Wonder Woman calls herself Lady Justice. That taught him real good! Plus, we were young and he would have had to ask his mom where they kept the Windex. I mean, sure it wasn't quite as dramatic as torturing him and cutting off his genitals until he bled to death, but you know he had to think about what he did as he got out the paper towels and Windexed that window. But who doesn't go a little crazy when their significant other screws them over? One time, when I was a teenage drama queen, I wrote "Asshole" in lipstick on a boyfriend's car window. So when Dexter tortures and cuts up killers he's a hero, but when a woman does it to rapists in a pseudo Wonder Woman suit she's suddenly crazy? I call sexism!! Meanwhile, Lady Justice’s criminal crusade is escalating rapidly, and if Eve can’t stop this vigilante, there’s no telling how much blood may be spilled… It’s a challenging case, made even more difficult by McEnroy’s widow, who reacts to the investigation with fury, denial, and threats. His compulsive need to record his misdeeds provides them with a wide range of suspects, but the true identity of Lady Justice remains elusive. Now Eve Dallas and her husband, Roarke, are combing through the evidence of McEnroy’s secret life. And in one shocking night of brutality, she makes him pay a much steeper price. His company’s human resources department has already paid out settlements to a couple of his young victims-but they don’t know that his crimes go far beyond workplace harassment. The first victim is wealthy businessman Nigel McEnroy. Once they are in her grasp, they are powerless. And once she has chosen a man as her target, she turns herself into a tall blonde or a curvaceous redhead, makes herself as alluring and seductive as possible to them. The predator becomes the prey in the newest thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling series featuring homicide detective Eve Dallas.
