It almost goes without saying that an Eve Dallas mystery will be full of suspense, thrills, great romance and sex, and wonderful character development. While this does not disappoint, I did feel a little less connected in this book than I have in previous installments. I wanted a little more background revelation for Rourke and Eve, and those have been dished out in little tantalizing pieces every other book or so. In this volume a priest is poisoned in front of his congregation when he drinks the sacramental wine during the mass, and the investigation reveals that he is not a priest after all. His past is a very tangled web that Dallas struggles to unravel, and then an evangelist is killed in the same manner. The convolutions in the story were a little difficult to follow at times, but she manages a very satisfying wrap-up in the end. I must admit that though I enjoyed this as I always do a Dallas mystery, I was more excited to read the excerpt for the next book in the series, where Morris's girlfriend is the victim, and I am eagerly awaiting the next paperback release.
