I'm listening to this on a DAD device from the library. It's the first time I've used one of these, and I think I like it. It took a little getting used to the fast forward/reverse method. I kept restarting the chapter until I read the directions ;)
OMG . . . I'm loving this book. There is a lot of humor in this book. Eve totally cracks me up! The rooster scene had me in tears, I was laughing so hard.
There's a lot of playful banter between her and the other characters in the book. I love when she's playful with Roarke. While I enjoy their "difficult periods", I really love when they're in sync. They're a lot of fun to read when they're like that.
Peabody is really coming into her own on the detective front in this book. Not a lot of McNab or Feeney in this book (so far).

I love how this book started out in Ireland and seeing Roarke's family, they are so precious. Also the transition from a small village murder to a dramatic murder investigation back in NYC was so interesting. I love watching Eve box in her suspects and take them down and can't wait for more.

I love this series! This was a great case really. We don't get as much of the team I love so much until later in the book. It's only for the takedown but I was so glad we did.
This case was really mainly Eve, Peabody, and Roarke. I just love how they all work together. I wasn't sure how this case was going to go initially. But as soon as Eve has it figured out, she lets us know who she believes is the killer. We don't see that very often, but I love that we get to truly see how her mind works.
I'm sad we didn't get to experience the get-together with Morris and their friends. I was really thinking we would.

This was weak, and been done. Basically just a place holder.

I loved the beginning of this book with Eve and Roarke in Ireland visiting his extended family on the family farm. All of it was pure gold.
Back in New York, the case was pretty straight forward, the killers easy to point out. Though it's always fun seeing how Eve nails them with the help of Peabody, Feeney, McNab, Mira, and of course, the expert consultant, civilian. There's some good character stuff and banter between Eve and Roarke, as well as the rest of the usual gang, plus some regular secondary characters. I particularly liked Eve's interactions with Feeney in this one. You can definitely feel that old partners vibe and bond. In a lot of ways, Feeney is like the father she never had. Eve and Roarke go semi-undercover at one point, which was fabulous. Also a big plus, Eve Dallas's interrogation of the killer at the end was brilliant, it's like watching a master painter create a masterpiece.

Two rich best friends start a game of murder and ultimately try to kill Eve but she sets them up. Good scenes with Eve / Roarke in Ireland
