Thoroughly enjoyed.
Great book! I love all the plot twists, and the tenacity of Dallas- great stuff. Also, I purchased it with audible, and jus love both the uniqueness and the dedication to the characters voices.

Another great book from a great word artist
I love the series. And as usual this was another very good story. I love to being able to visit all the old friends that you come to know when you're involved in this series. And I can't wait to see what the house ends up looking like.

A great story
As always, Det. Eve Dallas and Peabody did their job standing for the rights of the victim. The Author did her usual fantastic job of putting together an interesting story.

Heartbreaking and magnificent.
Eve and Roarke star in another intense murder investigation. This book is number 53 in this series and it is well written with a happily ever after. I highly recommend reading this entire series in order, starting with the first book, Naked in Death.

Good Storyline but Awful Editing
This story and plotline were better than the last 3-4 books in this series. I agree with all the other reviewers that this might not have been the most exciting plotline but it was definitely the most refreshing one compared to the more recent ones. This book weaves two stories/victims into one and while the crime itself might not be scintillating, I think the focus for this book was really less about writing about an amazing crime being perpetrated and more about the relationships. I think this book provided glimpses of what usually happens after the bad guy gets caught and Dallas grills them and closes the book. It shows what happens when we, as readers, end the book and the imagination begins. I know that, personally, I have always imagined what conversations the characters might have when a book ends and there were moments where I think the author really provided that behind-the-scenes look whether that was between Dallas and Peabody or Dallas and Roarke.Now, you may be wondering why, if I thought this was a great book to add to the series, that I would rate it 3 stars. Great question. The reason why this is rated 3 stars is not because of the storytelling or plotline but mostly due to the editing or lack thereof. Now -- I know we're all human and this book was written and is published during a pandemic but that still doesn't excuse the punctuation and syntax errors.There were two glaring errors...or one error and one awkward phrasing decision to keep. I got the kindle version so also not sure if it was an electronic error. Not sure if any other readers or reviewers noticed it also but while these errors might seem small, it makes reading really confusing at times and also detracts from the story. I'm also not sure if the publisher will ever read this review but I thought I should just throw it out there.The error I noticed was in the line breaks and quotation marks in dialogue. It didn't happen in all the dialogue writing but definitely in 4-5 spots in the book where during the back and forth banter between characters, all of a sudden there would be a line break and then a sentence with opening and closing quotations but instead of it being what you expect (response from the other character), it would actually be a continuation of what was being said. I was always taught that if there was no interruption in a character speaking to not put additional quotations and I'm pretty sure that's still the reasoning particularly as this isn't the only book I've been reading these past few months and every other book uses that logic. It's not an awful error but it just means that there would be moments I would have to glance back up again and reread.The other issue was in the use of commas and descriptors in places that don't make sense. For example "she's a malignant narcissist, classic, and..." -- this was something a character said. I think in reality, no one would quite phrase it that way. Instead, they might say "she's a classic malignant narcissist, and..." While it's not grammatically incorrect (I think?), it is very awkward, and rarely in spoken English would it have been said that way. There were a couple of other instances similar to this in the rest of the book.Overall, I think it's a good story to add and flesh out the world of Dallas. I just hope moving forward the publishers and editing team really tighten up on the proofreading.
