About this book:
As NY Lt. Eve Dallas and her billionaire
husband Roarke are driving home, a young woman—dazed, naked, and
bloody—suddenly stumbles out in front of their car. Roarke slams on the brakes
and Eve springs into action.
Daphne Strazza is rushed to the ER, but it’s too
late for her husband Dr. Anthony Strazza. A brilliant orthopedic surgeon, he
now lies dead amid the wreckage of his obsessively organized town house, his
three safes opened and emptied. Daphne would be a valuable witness, but in her
terror and shock the only description of the perp she can offer is repeatedly
calling him “the devil”...
While it emerges that Dr. Strazza was cold, controlling,
and widely disliked, this is one case where the evidence doesn’t point to the
spouse. So Eve and her team must get started on the legwork, interviewing
everyone from dinner-party guests to professional colleagues to caterers, in a
desperate race to answer some crucial questions:
What does the devil look like? And where will he
show up next?
5
strong golden stars!
This
is the 44th book in the series, not including the shorter stories. The
44th!! How about that! And this I cannot get enough of Eve and the
people she work with. This character is one of my favorites. She is like a
bad-ass female version of Bruce Willis in his movies lol. Seriously, I love her
and just can’t get enough of her. I am sad now that I haven’t reviewed all of
these books as I read them, but I was seriously binge reading and couldn’t be
bothered at that time to stop and write a review. As with all longer series,
some book are better than others and yet I feel like this series doesn’t have
bad books. I loved all and every one of them. Of course some were closer to my
heart than others, but every book is unique and just proves again and again
what a wonderful writer Nora Roberts is <3
So
this book got me guessing from the start. I’m a huge fan of detectives and for
example in movies I pretty much can say from the start who did what and who’s
responsible. And since I read all the previous books in this series, I was sure
I could guess who the ‘bad guy’ here is. Lol... Yes I was sure I could tell. I
know, funny. But once again dear Nora surprised me and I’m glad. This power she
has keeps me coming back again and again, to read her books.
Absolutely loved
this book and am very sad it ended and cannot wait for the next one to come!
If
you haven’t started this series, maybe you’re intimidated by the number of
books in it (I was), don’t be! The fact that this series is still going only
shows that one, the story isn’t over, two the author still has something to add
to the characters and three – demand for these books is high!
I highly
recommend!
Peace,
A.
