After reading it I feel I made the right choice. The last few books seem to be a little off to me, whether they&#8217;re things like the changing of where the button came from that Roarke constantly carries in his pocket, or Peabody&#8217;s sudden channeling of Eve, and swearing up a storm. Even Eve and Roarke&#8217;s relationship doesn&#8217;t seem quite as passionate, and the barbs that she and Summerset exchange that are usually so enjoyable have definitely lost their sting. That said, I did enjoy the book. The plot was different and so was the villain. It wasn&#8217;t quite so stock in trade as in some of the previous books. You don&#8217;t see a lot of your favorite secondary characters. I particularly missed McNab and Feeney, but Morris might have a new love interest, and Mavis brings in a unique twist to the story. So basically I&#8217;m a bit torn. I&#8217;m still enjoying the series enough to keep reading, just not enough to buy. Which is why I thank God for libraries!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align:right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/evergreen.noblenet.org\/eg\/opac\/record\/3455983?locg=1\">Check the catalog for availability.<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reviewed by Kim I hate to say this but Concealed in Death was the first book in the series I didn&#8217;t buy, but instead borrowed from my library.
