I always look forward to a new book in this series, some are great, some are good, either way I know I'll like them. Roarke is still master of the business world with seemingly endless time to help his grumpy, workaholic wife. The night Leah Rose died, the night of the final dress rehearsal, he saw Bernstein go at it with Lane, slapping her. Whomever is in charge of adapting a book series, get your wallets out and commission the “IN DEATH” series….

Her parents divorced when she was nine, so it felt good to see a couple who genuinely liked each other.

She says she was better, is better, than Rose and it wasn’t her fault Leah kept taking pills and kept drinking, that she (Eliza) wasn’t even there. And since the champagne cocktail that killed him was originally intended for Eliza, it’s possible she was the real target, with a recently fired assistant, a bitter rival, and an obsessed fan in the picture. Since the champagne cocktail that killed Brant was originally intended for Eliza, could it be that she was the real target? Vera says she’s been so upset (delayed reaction to Brant’s death) she took the day off from work, canceling shooting for the first time in her life, and she’s going have to say sweet things about Eliza now that she’s the tragic figure, and that galls. Roarke finds out that Lane’s housekeeper, Cara Rowan, has a nephew who’s a metal artist; he does electroplating in his work, and that requires cyanide.

Reo says Lane tried for Greene (“major conflict of interest there, since she murdered his client”), and Reo’s sticking to no deals. This is still probably one of the best books that Robb has put out in the latter part of the series. With so many attendees, staff, and servers, Eve has her work cut out determining who committed murder in the middle of the crowd―and what was their motivation.Usually, the resolution of the story, where the killer is interrogated and bought to justice, provides a gratifying ending. She said she met them at the Oscars and liked them a lot, that they were gracious even though The Icove Agenda beat them out for three of the major awards they were also nominated for. She then cried, begged, went on about how she dedicated her whole life to Rose, and he suggested she try living her own life for a while.
