Another story with an amazing plot. A murder is committed in front of a packed theatre audience but who is the real killer? Eve navigates the world of theatre trying to see behind the facade the actors have erected about themselves. 
 Eve's past is brought up a lot and this case takes a big toll on her. It is difficult to read these parts. (view spoiler)[ what with all the talks of incest (hide spoiler)] 
 Everyone had a motive to kill Richard, vile person. So the killer is....... (view spoiler)[Anya/Areena Mansfield Anya wa so believeable as a person it was a surprise to see she was make believe. She should have just killed Richard earlier why wait so long after he had slept with Carly their daughter!!! I did not get that. Also did not like the way Eve confronted Carly. (hide spoiler)] It ended where it had all started. 
 Eve makes an effort to be romantic in this book and it is sweet to watch. Wish there had been more of Peabody and McNab though.
