I wasn’t super into it at first and how she switched up the beginning by another random murder… but it got my attention a little while later. Entertaining, BUT I am kind of getting upset at her language. I don’t see the point in her using the word “tranny” and it’s been used in the past few books if I remember correctly. I love this series, really I do but I’m over the use of that word.

Good not great. I've read this series from the beginning, when the books were fun and exciting and original, all the way to this book where the last several books have gotten stale and boring and repetitious. I'm not going to go into great detail about everything that is wrong with the series at this moment because it will take too long. I'm just disappointed that the author has come to a place where her incredible power couple of Eve and Roarke have dare I say, started to become boring since they rarely face any challenges other than risks to their lives.
The story wasn't bad compared to some of the previous books, it actually would have gotten 4 stars except the murderer was revealed halfway through the book and the rest was about trapping them. Boring and there wasn't any twists and turns to the story. You could figure it out very early on in the book, and what's the purpose of reading a mystery if its not creative? unfortunately these days Nora Roberts is writing 5 books a year, and its impossible for someone to come up with incredible and brilliant plot lines for every book she writes on that time table. I'm disappointed because I for one would rather read 1 fantastic book from this series a year than 3 mediocre ones.

I thought this was a good book, although not as fast-paced as some of the installments in the series. It was interesting and I enjoyed it, especially the brief visit to Ireland. Loved seeing Roarke and Eve working together yet again:)

This is by far one of my favorite series. And it has proved to be true with this book as well. I love how this book starts – in Ireland with Roarke’s family. We get to see the softer side of Eve by seeing her surprise Roarke with a children’s park she has build and dedicated to his mother. What a great way to start the book. We also find that murder seems to follow Eve everywhere as she helps a green officer in Ireland solve a murder while she is there. While it isn’t a tough case and is solved quickly she still helps him through the process.
After arriving back in New York City, she tags a murder almost immediately. It seems to be a most unusual case of a limo driver shot with a crossbow. Fairly quickly there is a second murder of one of the best escort is NYC and she is shot through the heart with a bayonet. Eve quickly realized that the murders are linked. I love that Eve always seems to be one step ahead when she working a case. As always there is a creative ending to the book that I did not see coming. You will have to read to find out.
As always my favorite part of the book was the banter between Roarke and Eve. I love that she had a constant fight with independence and Roarke constantly is fighting her on it. It seems after all 31 of these books that has not died but she is starting to become more aware of others and their feeling.
The one thing that bothered me about the book was that it just seemed long. There was a long period of time between when she knew who the murders were and the case was actually solved. Normally, I can’t put a J.D. Robb book down but in this case it took me several sittings to get through it.
All in all, I really enjoyed the book and would give it 4 stars.
