About this deal
I need to mention, though, that while there is some romance and relationship building between the mysterious, sexy, drool-worthy Roarke, and Eve, this is first and foremost a murder mystery.
tubes of Pepsi - I don't know why tube-form is better but I want one, and "people movers" like elevators that move horizontally -appealing to my lazy side.Is it that authors assume us bookworms must be dowdy and boring ourselves so we are all aflutter with the idea that we could get a man like that? If you're intimidated by sci-fi, this is just sci-fi enough to have interesting gadgets and speculative changes in federal laws (like the aforementioned legalized prostitution). In the 21 st Century, prostitution is legal, regulated, and, while not exactly something you want your daughter to do for a living, the social stigma is not as great as in the past.
Like how our heroine Eve Dallas is as hard core and strong a female character as I'd expect to find in any recently published SFF or UF novel, who lives in a world with legalized prostitution (gov't regulated and taxed, naturally), but who also falls prey to Red Flag b/c hot DAMN. Now, if you have read Nora Roberts and think this is some extension of her other stuff, think again. That must suit a vast number of readers based on reviews and rankings, but I don't want to read the same book more than once. She then follows a hunch and gets help from Roarke in illegally accessing Simpson's finances, discovering enormous donations from DeBlass and unreported millions of dollars in overseas accounts.As he explains that the senator (who has now committed suicide) killed Sharon in a moment of passion and then allowed Rockman to commit the other murders to lead investigators astray, Eve secretly transmits the conversation to the other detective on the case, Captain Ryan Feeney. I've been nervous about starting this mega series of 39 books but I'm glad I finally bit the bullet.
