Again, I don't like knowing who the killer is from the beginning. I like the mystery of trying to figure it out on my own :-( It could be me, but I feel like Eve and Roarke are falling into a rut, with them both trying to protect the other one from danger when a killer is targeting them somehow. It's been done enough in the series so far. I want to see something different.
I will read the next book in the series, then take another break again.
Marriage is a rut, which is what makes it difficult to avoid one with fictional married characters. The whole saving each other thing tricky to stay away from if you are going to keep both characters engaged in the story. It does get tiresome, though. The only way to break that is to kill off a character though, and no one wants that. I remember a series I read in high school...Savage Destiny series by Janet Daily. It was great, but it fell into a rut and Daily addressed it by killing off the hero. My BFF told me that and I never read that book and abandoned the series. In some of the later books, Roarke moves more into the advisory/helper role and less into the victim /hero role. Their relationship becomes a bit more equal. I think that's a good thing.

Plot Summary:
At exactly 7:30 p.m., Walter Pettibone arrived home to over a hundred friends and family shouting, "surprise!" It was his birthday. Although he had known about the planned event for weeks, the real surprise was yet to come. At 8:45 p.m., a woman with emerald eyes and red hair handed him a glass of champagne. One sip of birthday bubbly, and he was dead.
The woman's name is Julie Dockport. No one at the party knew who she was. But Detective Eve Dallas remembers her all too well. Eve was personally responsible for her incarceration nearly ten years ago. And now, let out on good behavior, she still has nothing but bad intentions. It appears she wants to meet Dallas again - in a reunion neither will forget...
