As the household of NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her billionaire husband Roarke prepares for an invasion of family and friends for Thanksgiving, an ungrateful son decides to stop the nagging from his parents - by ending their lives. Soon Jerald Reinhold is working his way through anyone who has ever thwarted him in his path to an easy life. Eve is increasingly frustrated in her efforts to cover all the potential victims as Jerald stays a terrifying step ahead. As the festivities begin, Eve is desperate to identify which victim on Jerald's long list will be the next, so she can stop the killing spree.
The story itself was very good but there was way more gratuitous violence in this book than in previous. It's just not entertaining reading that.
On the positive, books heavy on Roarke's Irish family always lend a deeper level to the characters and are among my favorites in the series.
I'd probably give it a 3.75 but not a 4.
