inconceivably

I've already talked about this book a couple of times on the blog because I absolutely love this series. I think it is pretty incredible that the series has over 30 books and just keeps getting better. I have read every book published so far and have yet not to enjoy one...but this one, by far, is my favorite. I always look forward to the Eve & Roarke parts. I never skip over parts involving the main plot - but it is the MC interaction that I look forward to. The murder mysteries/suspense is always interesting - but very rarely equals the romance (exceptions that come to mind are Conspiracy in Death, Divided in Death & Creation In Death). In this case, the mystery/suspense eclipsed it. For once, I was actually impatient through the Eve/Roarke sections because I wanted to get back to the main action! Peabody accidentally becomes witness to corruption in Cop Central, and she and Eve are primed and ready to take them down. One of my favorite parts of the book was getting to see Eve as a Lieutenant. She always has been, but normally we just see her detective side. This time, for reasons related to the plot, we see her authority as an LT and I absolutely adored every second of it. I also always love seeing Eve interact with authority (Tibble and Whitney). I love the relationship she has with her boss, and we get quite a bit of it in this book. Seeing the way Eve and her task force systematically destroy the wrong cops is one of the most satisfying things I have ever read. It was so fun to read! The fact that we know, more or less, who all the bad guys are from very early on in the story takes absolutely nothing away from it. The suspense levels remain so high through the entire book that I didn't breathe easy until the book was over. (Also, the final scene was awesome, Eve is a BAMF.)Seriously you guys, if you enjoy a good mystery, you have got to pick this book up. It isn't really necessary to read any of the other books first, although of course i recommend the entire series. The first book I read was somewhere in the middle, so I didn't read them in order either. You won't have the same depth of feeling for the characters, but you will definitely still enjoy the ride. The best book of an amazing series, don't miss it!
