From Publishers Weekly
Once again Lt. Eve Dallas shows why she's "New York City's top murder cop" in Roberts's 24th thriller under her Robb pseudonym set half a century into the future (after 2006's Born in Death). Dallas tries to close a case at the exclusive Sarah Child Academy, where two bright 10-year-old girls discover the body of Craig Foster, a popular history teacher who proves to have been poisoned by ricin-laced cocoa. Dallas wonders if another staff member or a parent might be involved, but after the prime suspect, a promiscuous teacher who's been harassing another employee, turns up dead, the investigation takes a shocking turn. Besides a provocative puzzler, Robb provides an intense relationship update on Dallas and Roarke, her Irish power broker hubby, whose dark past—in the form of a crooked ex-girlfriend—returns to cause trouble. This prolific author, a recent Quills romance winner, is still at the top of her game. (Feb.)

From AudioFile
Susan Ericksen embraces the role of New York Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas and delivers powerful secondary characters of both genders and varying ages. Dallas is portrayed as bright, attractive, and imaginative as she hunts the killer of a seemingly ordinary grade-school history teacher. With a hearty Irish brogue, Roarke, Dallass husband, is convincingly portrayed as engaging and sexy. When Roarkes former mistress arrives, her duplicity and petty intrigues are skillfully exposed with careful pacing and understatement. Both the murder and the love story come together in the final stunning scenes, in which Dallas realizes shes dealing with unfathomable evil.
