"A new novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series: Lt. Eve Dallas must separate rumors from reality when a woman who traffics in other people's secrets is silenced. The chic Manhattan nightspot Du Vin is not the kind of place Eve Dallas would usually patronize, and it's not the kind of bar where a lot of blood gets spilled. But that's exactly what happens one cold February evening. The mortally wounded woman is Larinda Mars, a self-described "social information reporter," or as most people would call it, a professional gossip. As it turns out, she was keeping the most shocking stories quiet, for profitable use in her side business as a blackmailer. Setting her sights on rich, prominent marks, she'd find out what they most wanted to keep hidden and then bleed them dry. Now someone's done the same to her, literally--with a knife to the brachial artery. Eve didn't like Larinda Mars. But she likes murder even less. To find justice for this victim, she'll have to plunge into the dirty little secrets of all the people Larinda Mars victimized herself. But along the way, she may be exposed to some information she really didn't want to know..."--
I really enjoyed this one! I do enjoy the plotlines where the deceased is actually a piece of shit--I don't feel quite so sorry they're dead lol. And this one left a series of victims who didn't deserve her machinations so that just added to the lack of sympathy (towards her).
I also enjoyed the obvious killer and the fact this one kind of leaned more on relationships, whether it be Eve and Roarke, Eve and Nadine, Eve and Mavis, Eve and De Winter... It all revolved around it, and personally, I'm a fan of that.
