✦ Synopsis

We've got a corpse that looks like one of the investigators, a houseful of Hollywood and a media machine that's going to eat it like gooey chocolate.'

Lieutenant Eve Dallas is panicking - and she's not at a crime scene. Forced to attend a celeb-packed party for a new movie based on her most famous case, she is surrounded by actors who look like everyone in her life. Just as the end is in sight, brutal reality crashes through the sparkly façade.

There's been a murder.

The obnoxious actress playing Eve's partner, Peabody, has been found face down in the pool. As Eve hastily interviews the guests, it's hard to find anyone who didn't have a motive for the crime. But with a murdered Personal Investigator, a missing tape recording and a hugely expensive movie in the mix, Eve must fight to keep a clear head and stop a calculated killer.

From Booklist

NYPD lieutenant Eve Dallas doesn’t do glitz or glam, but she has no choice when Hollywood director Mason Roundtree and his wife, Connie Burkette, issue an invitation to dine with the cast of The Icove Agenda. Based on one of Eve’s earlier cases, the movie is just wrapping up production, and everyone wants face time with the real Lieutenant Dallas. Everyone except actress K. T. Harris, who plays the part of Eve’s partner, Delia Peabody, onscreen but in real life is just as bitchy to Eve as she is to everyone else. So when K. T.’s body is found floating in the Roundtree and Burkette’s penthouse lap pool, it really isn’t that big of a surprise. The real challenge for Eve will be narrowing down her list of suspects since practically everyone at the dinner party had at least one motive for murder. Readers count on Robb to deliver the goods, and her thirty-fourth (!) Eve Dallas book will not disappoint. The plot is cleverly conceived, cinematically riveting, and sexily charming, and Eve is her usual no-nonsense self. --John Charles
