german and english review

Ich hab doch tatsächlich schon wieder ein Buch fertig gelesen. Es wurde echt Zeit.

Mann, war was Buch gut aber auch wirklich stellenweise richtig verstörend. Reiche Leute sind einfach die Schlimmsten.

Ich mag es, das wir in dem Buch mit dem Urlaub von Eve und Roarke anfangen. Dass wir die Beiden abseits von New York erleben, ohne berufliche Verpflichtungen und dann auch noch mit Roarke's Familie (Ich liebe die ganze Bande einfach). Ein kleiner, schnell aufgeklärter Mordfall zwischen durch und dann kann der Urlaub weiter gehen. Eve Dallas auf dem Land ist übrigens eins meiner absoluten Highlights. Ugh, diese Stadtmenschen, LOL

Eve hat den Urlaub vor dem großen Fall zurück in New York auch wirklich gebraucht, denn ich hatte beim Lesen das Gefühl, dass die Charaktere in dem ganzen Buch, dass ungefähr eine Woche umfasst hat, wirklich nur drei Stunden geschlafen haben und ansonsten unermüdlich mit Hilfe von Koffein und anderen (legalen) Muntermachern durchgearbeitet haben.

Der Fall. Der Fall war wirklich heftig aber von der Autorin unglaublich klasse durchdacht. Man wusste eigentlich ziemlich schnell wer für die Taten verantwortlich ist, trotzdem war es durchweg bis zum Schluss spannend. Für mich hatte das Buch einfach alles was ich an den Büchern so sehr liebe. Ich bin begeistert.

I finally finished another book. About time.

Damn, that book was great but sometimes a bit disturbing. Rich people are the worst.

I loved that we started the book in the middle of Eve's and Roarke's vacation. That we got to see them outside of New York, without any work commitments and then of course, Roarke's family (I just love these people). A little, really fast and easy solved case and then they could go back to vacation mode. Eve Dallas in the countryside is my favorite thing ever. Ugh, these city people LOL

I think Eve really needed that vacation before she got the new big case back in New York, cause while reading, I got the feeling that all the characters throughout the book, which was about a week of a timeline, only got about three hours of sleep and worked their butts of the rest of the time, while running on caffeine and other (legal) eye-opener.

The case. The case was seriously crazy but so well thought out by the author. We knew pretty soon who was behind the murders but it was still suspenseful until the very end. For me, the book had everything that I love about this series. I'm psyched.

Helping solve the murder while on vacation might not be the norm for Lieutenant Eve Dallas, but it's nothing compared to what she must deal with when she returns home. A limo driver shot with a crossbow, a high-class LC stabbed through the heart with an old bayonet, a chef speared with a harpoon...It smells like thrill-killing for the spoiled and the rich, those born with a silver spoon in their mouth...

Disregard for life pisses Eve off, but this time the piss-off factor is off the charts, and she'll do anything to make the killer (or killers) stop.


I'm glad to see that after a few iffy past installments, this series is back on track.

I loved this story; the drama, the danger, the tempo and pace, the intrigue, and the game of cat and mouse the indulgent played with our favorite cop. It was a little sickening, but it still pulled me in right from the start (with that rather innocuous first DB), and made me want to be able to read faster to see what happened next.
I liked the fact all the participants knew who the killer was, knew the sickening motive behind the killings, so we were all on the same page during the investigation, trying to find the clues that would make the case stick and put the killer where they belong.

Intense and gripping, filled with drama, rife with twists, with the tempo increasing toward the finish line, this one was one heck of a story.

This is the thirty-first book in this series and its not suppose to be still this fun to read but it is! Eve Dallas & Peabody are on the hunt to catch two wealthy bad-boys. Roarke and his majordomo do their thing and we get a peek at all the other players who help round this thing out beautifully. There are a great giggles and heart filled moments thought out.
May this never end.
