The biggest problem with a series that has 28 books and growing is finding new adjectives to accurately describe how much I love this series without sounding boring and repetitive.

Once again, I am treated to a first class ticket into the lives of Eve Dallas and Roark while she investigates the murder of a fellow officer, who happens to be in an intimate relationship with Eves friend, Morris, the Chief Medical Examiner. It doesnt take long for Dallas to uncover a connection in the dead cops past to her and Roarks not so distant past. I love how Eve meticulously discovers each clue and peels the layers back to reveal more. Her instincts are amazing and I am impressed how diligent she is in her approach to finding the truth, no matter how painful.

Eve is determined to find the killer and bring them to justice. She makes a promise to herself, the victim and to Morris and Eve always keeps her promises.

As if the crime plot in the story werent enough, I also was highly entertained with the subplot of Louises bridal shower that Eve has been forcing from her mind for quite a while. Unfortunately, she cant hide from it and not thinking about it doesnt make it go away. While Roark and the guys take Charles to Vegas for his bachelor party, Eve is left at home with the women to do girly things. I thoroughly enjoyed watching her panicked state when she realizes what this will entail and found myself laughing out loud several times at Eves attempts to hide in the house and when that doesnt work, to try to convince Roark to let her come with him to Vegas.

This series has it all and it packs one hell of a punch. Featuring mystery, suspense, intense action, romance and comedy, I wish all of my reading was this entertaining.
