The dead were her business. She lived with them, worked with them, studied them. She dreamed of them. And because that didn't seem to be enough, in some deep, secret chamber of her heart, she mourned for them.' The first victim is found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The second murdered in her own apartment building. Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas has no problem finding connections between the two crimes. Both victims are beautiful and highly successful women; their glamorous lives and loves were the talk of the city. And their intimate relations with men of great power and wealth provide Eve with a long list of suspects - including her own lover, Roarke. As a woman, Eve is compelled to trust the man who shares her bed. But as a cop, it's her job to follow every lead...to explore every secret passion, no matter how dark. Or how dangerous

I really am about a 3.5 stars on this book, but with that not a option it was more or a 4 star (than 3 star book).
This book had me a little longer than the last one. It took me til the second murder to figure out ‘who done it.' It was definitely a fun read and I enjoyed the interplay between the characters. I will be reading more of these books in the future.
The main appeal of these books is the development of the main character, Eve Dallas. She is compelling and likable - but not too likable! Of the two JD Robbs I've read thus far, the mystery is very obvious. But I like them. I'll keep reading them.
Eve was still kiss ass. Roarke came across less creepy. It was an easy, fluff type of read. Again future world was the backdrop. Murder still is piloted by the same motives. I was disappointed to find when I was close to the end I all ready knew who the murder was from the beginning. I lost interest in the chase. But writing was good. The POV change was much more clear in this installment.
This book is pretty much the same as the first (with a little bit less violence), if you liked the first book you will probably like this one. The characters don't see a lot of growth and the mystery is fairly similar to the first.
