Eve: "My life used to be so simple."
Peabody: "Mmm."
Eve: "It did. Because it didn't have all of these people in it."
Peabody: "If you need to shove somebody out, you know, to simplify? Could you give Roarke the push? See, McNab and I have this understanding. If Roarke is clear, I get to take my shot at him. McNab gets one at you."
When Eve choked on the last swallow from the tube, Peabody gave her a helpful thump on the back.
Peabody: "Joking. Just sort of joking."
Eve: "You and McNab have a sick, sick relationship."
Peabody: "We do." Peabody beamed. "It makes us very happy."

I loved how McNab asked Eve to leave her office while he worked on her computer. That was HARD for her to do! He's right, she is hard on them, and uses them a lot! I couldn't help but crack up when she asked why they design something to start failing at some point in time and he pointed out that it's to get you to buy a new one. Sometimes she just doesn't see the obvious despite how observant/intelligent she is!
This is the book I've been waiting for...

I loved that scene and, yes, it was funny and good for Peabody for keeping the mystery.

This one is on my top 5 list. The moment when and after Peabody is attacked is gut wrenching. We get to see Eve's devotion to her in this story.




I cried my eyes out before Eve did. It was riveting going through that attack through Peabody's eyes and then McNab's. it was chilling.

Cast List (view spoiler)
There are no spoilers in the list. It's only set up this way because of its length and for easy reference.

Lots of good scenes with Peabody this book: Eve telling her about her past, coming clean with McNab about Charles (I love the way she handled this!), and watching her deal with people when Eve can't. I also loved the scene Sara posted above where Peabody tells Eve about her agreement with McNab that they're allowed to cheat with Roarke and Eve if the opportunity arises. LOL!!
Another hilarious scene was when Mavis wanted Eve to be her back up for the birth, Roarke silently laughing at Eve's new predicament, then Mavis springing that she wants Roarke there too! God, I love Mavis! She's a good contrast for Eve.
Nice twist at the end. I didn't see that coming with the psychic. I love when there's a good twist that I don't see coming.
That scene tears me up every time. The first time I read it, I was completely unprepared for what happened to Peabody. The bathroom scene with Eve and those sunglasses is also my favorite.
