Series: In Death #23
Rating: 9/10
Eve's investigating a double murder of young lovers who worked for the same accounting firm. This common fact between the two murders points Eve to dig into the firm's customer's. At the same time, Mavis asks Eve to help her with a missing friend from her birthing class. Of course, these two cases would be linked.
The best part of this book is Eve and Roarke dealing with Mavis' birth. Roarke, for all his smoothness, is absolutely terrified of all things to do with pregnancy and birth. I find this hilarious, because he's the one who actually wants children and Eve thinks they're little aliens who grow in your body for nine months. I classify her fear of babies/children with her fear of farm animals. It's such a funny quirk for this tough cop, who finds herself planning a baby shower with a rainbow theme.
I would've given this one a 10/10 if the mystery were a little better. It was kind of a "ho hum, yawn" thing after the horror of Origin in Death, but all of the baby stuff was so much fun to read. A baby black market seems kinda tame after that.
