When you discover what happened, you look back and wonder why you didn't see it. The mystery is slowly and carefully developed, and the culprit doesn't come out of the blue at all. I found myself genuinely interested in finding out why exactly someone might want to see Craig dead. They're well integrated, and everything, but still something I might evaluate separately. MY THOUGHTS: As always with these books, there's the case and there's the relationship stuff. She's obviously hellbent on creating trouble, and Roarke seems blind to it. Having hordes of women hitting on her husband has never fazed Eve in the past, but Magdelana Purcell isn't just any other woman: she's the only woman who actually dumped Roarke, rather than been dumped by him. It doesn't help that her relationship with Roarke suddenly feels under threat. Even when she finds some suspicious secrets in the school, things don't add up in her head. She's getting nowhere fast, finding no real reason why anyone should want to kill a nice, harmless man like Craig. THE PLOT: Eve is investigating the death of private school teacher Craig Foster, who was found poisoned at his desk. Keeping that in mind may help her solve this case at last. Still, she'll have to put aside her feelings, for a while at least-because another man has just turned up dead.Įve knows all too well that innocence can be a facade. Eve's so unnerved by the situation that she finds it hard to focus on her case. Roarke seems blind to Magdalena's manipulation, and he insists that the occasional lunch or business meeting with her is nothing to worry about.
The slinky blonde-an old flame of her billionaire husband, Roarke-has arrived in New York, and she's anything but innocent. there's someone Eve can picture as a murder victim. It's Eve's job to sort it out-and discover why someone would have done this to a man who seemed so inoffensive, so pleasant. Foster's colleagues have some startling secrets of their own. It shocked his colleagues at the private school, too, and as for the ten-year-old girls who found him in his classroom in a pool of bodily fluids-they may have been traumatized for life.Įve soon determines that Foster's homemade lunch was tainted with deadly ricin, and that Mr. Craig Foster's death devastated his young wife, who'd sent him to work that day with a lovingly packed lunch. Eve Dallas hunts for the killer of a seemingly ordinary history teacher-and uncovers some extraordinary surprises.
