This is a series that I’m rarely disappointed in. It’s great for when I want a quick, satisfying read. Eve and Roarke actually don’t spend a lot of time together in this one, as Roarke is struggling with some new information he’s discovered about his mother. But the rest of our favorites are nearby — Peabody, Mavis, and even Summerset. The mystery was interesting, and keeps you guessing about whodunnit.
