Fourth Eve Dallas Investigation In Death
Each murder victim died smiling. The only one who isn't grinning is New York Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas--because she's got to find out why.
Death didn't shock her, but it appalled her, and she knew it always would: the waste of it, the violence and the cruelty of it. But she lived with it too much to be shocked, even by this. They died with smiles on their faces. Three apparent suicides: a brilliant engineer, an infamous lawyer, and a controversial politician. Three strangers with nothing in common - and no obvious reasons for killing themselves. But police lieutenant Eve Dallas is immediately suspicious of the deaths. And her instincts pay off when autopsies revealed small burn marks on the brains of the victims. Is this a genetic abnormality or a high-tech method of murder? Eve's investigation turns to the provocative world of virtual reality games - where the same techniques used to create joy and desire can also prompt the mind to become the weapon of its own destruction.

There is a lot of cupping of breasts in this book. The characters are ridiculously perfect/evil. But I enjoyed it.
Idk whats wrong with me I am such a grump.
I love the side characters here but am not totally enamored with Eve and Roarke. I really struggled with this mystery and the mystery itself was super super interesting this felt soooo long and it felt sooo long for Eve to make real progress on the case. When I know who the red herring is and it takes the defective until the last 5 percent to figure it out thats annoying, not fun.
I've heard the mysteries themselves get better around book 10 but we will see it I stick around. I will say if this wasn't audio I would've probably DNFd. Def feels like a SVU episode on audio haha and I don't always like every episode of that so maybe I need to be more patient with this series.
The nature vs nurture debate kept getting repeated over and over without making a real headway but maybe thats a bigger topic on this series. The ending also pissed me off bc it was way too abrupt. Ultimately did not work for me.
