A new novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series: Lt. Eve Dallas must separate rumors from reality when a woman who traffics in other people's secrets is silenced.

The chic Manhattan nightspot Du Vin is not the kind of place Eve Dallas would usually patronize, and it's not the kind of bar where a lot of blood gets spilled. But that's exactly what happens one cold February evening.

The mortally wounded woman is Larinda Mars, a self-described "social information reporter," or as most people would call it, a professional gossip. As it turns out, she was keeping the most shocking stories quiet, for profitable use in her side business as a blackmailer. Setting her sights on rich, prominent marks, she'd find out what they most wanted to keep hidden and then bleed them dry. Now someone's done the same to her, literally - with a knife to the brachial artery.

Eve didn't like Larinda Mars. But she likes murder even less. To find justice for this victim, she'll have to plunge into the dirty little secrets of all the people Larinda Mars victimized herself. But along the way, she may be exposed to some information she really didn't want to know...

As usual Susan Ericksen did a great job giving life to the characters, so her performance is not the problem here. The story is. I'm a fan of the In Death serie but the last two books I read are quite disappointing. I had hope for this one (murder of a blackmailer) but the investigation appears to be a second thought for everyone. The culprit is quite evident as soon as you met them, The victim has paid a lot of money to "disappear" years ago and managed to fool everyone for years but one digital sketch, 10mn of research in mysterious databases and BAM here she is. I can suspend disbelief better than most when I read, but this time I couldn't.
And, once again, somehow the investigation reminded Eve of her past. ???
This one will be forgotten very fast.
