robinmy avatar reviewed on + 2054 more book reviews


Lt. Eve Dallas is called to the Swisher Residence. The family members have been murdered in their beds. The youngest child, Nixie Swisher, is an eyewitness. Eve and her detectives are looking for clues. Why was this family targeted? How was the security breached? And why will the killers do anything to get their hands on nine year old Nixie? When Eve takes her only witness home with her, Child Protective Services are not happy. But Eve knows the killers will find it nearly impossible to breach the security that Roarke has on their home.

This is another excellent addition to the Eve Dallas series. The murders are shocking and the clues are few. As usual, the story takes a backseat to the characters. The interaction between Eve, Roarke and Nixie was first-rate. Eve and Roarke have no idea how to handle a nine year old girl, especially one that is grieving for her family. The whole cast of supporting characters make an appearance in this book and help solve the mystery of who killed the Swisher family. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
