(Description from Goodreads)

Basic Plot 
A well respected police officer is dead.

The cause? Natural.

Or is it?

I wish that I could gush some more about the characters in these books but if I did I think there would be a risk of me repeating myself. As it stands I am still saying in every review for these books that I am really enjoying watching the relationship between Roarke and Eve grow. I am also loving seeing Eve’s aid – Peabody – come more into her own with every book.

My heart went out to Eve over and over again throughout this book as once again her drive to fulfil her duty as a police officer forces her to go against her heart and go behind the back of a man she has worked beside and grown to love over the years.

This book did have me feeling uncomfortable in places, what with the ceremonial deaths and what have you.

Because of this I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as the previous books.

So that I don’t put myself off the series by reading to many of them at one I am going to have a little break away from the books for a few reads.
