I love me some brain cell rotting JD Robb mysteries - this one just didn't grab my attention the way some of them do. Actually - I'm pretty sure that I have read this one a long time ago before I even knew what I was reading.
The tension between Eve and Roarke really felt manufactured. I know that there are only so many ways that life can try to drive a wedge in a marriage, no matter how emotionally complicated the characters might be but I am to the point where I enjoy the books better when Eve and Roarke just work together and not fight. Please! Pretty Please! With Sprinkles on Top! Just leave them alone.
Of course I loved that we got a peek at Mavis' baby Belle (why do I love Mavis so much?) and the case had just enough twists to keep it interesting but, in the end was a little bit predictable.
Amazingly, we are in book #24 of the series and I still don't hate it!
