Another great instalment to this engaging futuristic police procedural series with a diverse cast of loveable characters.
Eve Dallas just can't miss. After nine books, I'm starting to notice some patterns and repeated ideas within the series, quite naturally so. Such as Roarke ALWAYS somehow managing to get involved in Eve's cases. Not that I really mind; I want him on the scene. But even with this slight repetitiveness, I've still thoroughly enjoyed every single one of the books so far, and I'm continually impressed at how the standard stays so high.
The usual gang is in full swing in this politically motivated crime/mystery plot, with the addition of Peabody's Free-ager younger brother, Zeke. He was such a sweetie-pie, I do hope to see him again in future books. Speaking of Peabody; if anyone is patiently waiting for her and MacNab to get a clue and realise they like each other, and that MacNab's teasing is the equivalent of pulling the pigtails of the girl you liked in the school playground, you might want to read this book for a slight insight on that situation.
I admit to being totally hoodwinked by one of the characters and enjoyed being surprised. Again, each crime is fresh and different and the politically motivated bomb threats were interesting and exciting. As was the part Zeke played in the subplot.
I do love all the futuristic technology, but I still can't quite wrap my head around some of the stuff, like the hover cars and androids for example (can you say creepy?). It's all just flavouring to the series, though, and never takes over or becomes too bogged down in techo gibber jabber. It's just the right balance.
Another goody. Well done Robb.
