With so many attendees, staff, and servers, Eve has her work cut out determining who committed murder in the middle of the crowd—and what was their motivation. Eve asks if there’s anybody who doesn’t want the revival of Upstage to happen, and they think of Maeve Spindal, who played Lily Bright in the original production; she has a grudge against Eliza, thinks that Eliza got lucky with Leah Rose dying, but is starring in a play in London. Peabody finds out that the cleaning agency used for Lane’s penthouse uses gray uniforms and brought in two temps the day of the party to do a deep clean; one matches Debra’s height and weight and had ID under Debra Rose. Over waffles, Roarke shows her some pictures of Peabody’s kitchen, which includes a living wall – herbs and other plants in pots her sister made, and a piece of the counter that’s shorter than the rest for rolling out pie dough and kneading bread dough, custom to Peabody’s height. Lane says Eve’s embarrassed because she arrested the wrong person, and then Debra ended up dead, Eve asks her how she knows Debra is dead, Lane says she heard ("gossip"), and Eve present the evidence that Lane contacted Bernstein, pretending to be his admin, L.

Eve heads for the West End Financial Center, while she instructs Peabody to follow up with the maid service.Change country: -Select- Afghanistan Albania Algeria American Samoa Andorra Angola Anguilla Antigua and Barbuda Argentina Armenia Aruba Australia Austria Azerbaijan Republic Bahamas Bahrain Bangladesh Belgium Belize Benin Bermuda Bhutan Bolivia Bosnia and Herzegovina Botswana Brazil British Virgin Islands Brunei Darussalam Bulgaria Burkina Faso Burundi Cambodia Cameroon Canada Cape Verde Islands Cayman Islands Central African Republic Chad Chile China Colombia Comoros Cook Islands Costa Rica Cyprus Czech Republic Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) Democratic Republic of the Congo Denmark Djibouti Dominica Dominican Republic Ecuador Egypt El Salvador Equatorial Guinea Eritrea Estonia Ethiopia Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) Fiji Finland France Gabon Republic Gambia Georgia Germany Ghana Gibraltar Greece Greenland Grenada Guam Guatemala Guernsey Guinea Guinea-Bissau Guyana Haiti Honduras Hong Kong Hungary Iceland India Indonesia Iraq Ireland Italy Jamaica Japan Jersey Jordan Kazakhstan Kenya Kiribati Kuwait Kyrgyzstan Laos Latvia Lebanon Lesotho Liberia Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Macau Macedonia Madagascar Malawi Malaysia Maldives Mali Malta Marshall Islands Mauritania Mauritius Mayotte Mexico Micronesia Moldova Monaco Mongolia Montenegro Montserrat Morocco Mozambique Namibia Nauru Nepal Netherlands Netherlands Antilles New Zealand Nicaragua Niger Nigeria Niue Norway Oman Pakistan Palau Paraguay Peru Philippines Poland Portugal Puerto Rico Qatar Republic of Croatia Republic of the Congo Romania Rwanda Saint Helena Saint Kitts-Nevis Saint Lucia Saint Pierre and Miquelon Saint Vincent and the Grenadines San Marino Saudi Arabia Senegal Serbia Seychelles Sierra Leone Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Solomon Islands Somalia South Africa South Korea Spain Sri Lanka Suriname Swaziland Sweden Switzerland Taiwan Tajikistan Tanzania Thailand Togo Tonga Trinidad and Tobago Tunisia Turkey Turkmenistan Turks and Caicos Islands Tuvalu Uganda United Arab Emirates United Kingdom United States Uruguay Uzbekistan Vanuatu Vatican City State Vietnam Virgin Islands (U. Peabody said that Bernstein drunk tagged Gary Proctor three days ago – every few years he gets through before he can block her and change his number again, and she reams him out, telling him it’s his fault Leah’s dead, or his and Lane’s fault together. Woven through the novel are threads of caring for others, friendship, relationships, ego, glamour, careers, leadership, and trust. Lane tells Eve Mavis is a flash in the pan, riding on the wave of questionable style and no substance. I also laughed a bunch of times during conversations they were having (which has been a while believe me).

The author brings strong characters, great plots, wonderful relationships, and excellent pacing to the series. Cyril and Sylvie take her upstairs, the rest of it was already in the toy teapot in Sylvie’s granddaughter’s room, and what a good friend Eliza was to help Sylvie get rid of her ex’s things.I enjoyed the way Robb was able to keep me in the dark for most of the novel before revealing the identity of the killer. Since the champagne cocktail that killed Brant was originally intended for Eliza, could it be that she was the real target? Eve and Roarke take a walk to their pond after dinner, and Eve says she thinks it was Eliza, and that she added pills to Rose’s vodka.

Peabody brings Lane to Interview while Eve tags Dickhead, who required no bribe because of the cyanide being found in a three-year-old’s bedroom; they give each other grief and he confirms it’s the same cyanide used in Brant’s and Debra’s murders, and Harvo has confirmed the shoes have fibers from Bernstein’s room. Eliza and Dolby are working on Brant’s memorials, and Eve asks Dolby if he remembers going up to the third floor after lunch on Monday, which he didn’t do. Robb usually manages to weave humor in her novels, providing some much needed levity to offset some of the more serious and grim aspects of the story. With so many attendees, staff, and servers, Eve has her work cut out determining who committed murder in the middle of the crowd--and what was their motivation. Eve thinks she scripted the whole scene with Brant bringing her a drink and her handing it back to do a duet without taking a sip, because she didn’t want to be without Brant for six months [apparently not realizing that forever is longer than six months].The widow, on the other hand, well, there were plenty of people who at the very least didn’t like her much. D. Robb has a way with a story, but it is no longer enough to cancel out the cliched sameness, for me at least. Another original plot, set in around 2061 where electronics, Auto chefs and hover craft are the norm. It's also one day of the week off from the actual calendar, but the desk clerk at the West End Hotel says the day she sees Bernstein leaves in a maid's uniform to clean Lane's penthouse is a Monday, and later Eve jokingly asks somebody where his cousin was on Monday between 2100 and 2300.
