A very satisfying entry into the Eve/Roarke series. Yet again, the crimes are taking place because of Roarke, which isn't new to Eve, but it's so prominent and even in their own home this time.

The crime spree starts off with a random victim: a maid doing turn-down service at Roarke's most sumptuous NYC hotel. Each crime gets closer and closer, until Summerset is attacked, but with his wily past, is able to escape the hitman. The layers behind the hitman are extremely well done, and I didn't expect it. I don't want to give anything away here, so read it.

I really loved this one, and it stands out to me.
