This is one of the books in the series that was not as enjoyable as most of them are and I wasn't feeling inspired to finish it, but given that a good portion of the "In Death" books contain character development, insight into the characters and watching the relationships between the characters, especially Eve and Roarke it was still easy enough to read, just not a huge amount of fun. There are benefits for a slower paced book and it does mean a bit more patience but it pays off with a nice ending and some more lessons learnt about our characters.

The plot is simple enough, Roarke has bought yet another building, but as he wants to make this something a bit more special he is taking part in the demolition of the building, but what he discovers is two dead bodies hidden within. Naturally he calls Eve, who discovers more bodies and the hunt begins to find the person who killed them. It wasn't too hard to work out who was the killer and what was going on, but as I said earlier, the character development was worth it and we learn more about our vibrant, out of the world, Mavis.
