About this listen
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...

Though I wonder if she would have spent life in a cage? She didn’t kill anyone, just blackmail and extortion. Don’t think she would have been in a cage that long, so I really hope she realised what was happening to her as she died.
I’d forgotten the part about Roarke finally finding out who knifed his birth father.
Would have loved Peabody to wear the tiara.
Glad Peabody and McNab go to have a break in Mexico.
I always wonder if any monies are paid back to those blackmailed from the sale of everything she owned.
I also would have liked to have Eve deal strongly with the ones who entrapped Bellami. I felt so sorry for him and hope he doesn’t have too many problems with his pregnant wife.
BOOK REVIEW
This book is not fast paced or full of twists and turns like some others prior but I found this a good solid read that I couldn’t put down.
This book was calmer and flowed at a good pace due to the fact Eve and Peabody were not chasing a serial killer. This gives us a story that is a pleasure to read but gives us more interaction and private time with Eve and Roarke.
Funny how some secrets closer to home are revealed, as there has been an awful lot of discussion on her fan page about things that get revealed in this book.
For one of the few times in this series, I wasn’t sure who the killer was until nearly the end.
Larinda Mars was a parasite and no loss to the living but poor Kellie.
I would have liked to know how things ended for some of the people being blackmailed but we are given nothing along those lines.
Great interaction with the usual characters, nice to touch base with nearly everyone in Eve’s life.
UPDATE REVIEW 2021
Enjoyed reading this for the personal things that are going on. Summerset and Roarke get some time to discuss the past. Eve’s happiness at the house being Summerset free. Peabody and McNab getting a break in Mexico and the fun behaviour and snark between Peabody and Eve over that situation.
Really didn’t care about Larinda Mars and her background showed how cold and self-centred she was.
Still found her a cold parasite for how she set that poor man with the pregnant wife up. I hope Eve did deal with those who perpetrated that set up.
A lifetime in a cage would have been better punishment but nobody had the balls to contact the police.
I did feel sorry for that young woman who lost her life due to the killer using her.
I have owned most of these books in paperback for years but now have them all in eBook format, so I am rereading this series once more in order, updating and replacing missing reviews.
Even knowing what is in the future, it is absolutely no hardship to reread this series and I am really enjoying how all the characters are growing and changing.
