Eve tells Roarke she gave Peabody two minutes to talk about the Great House Project on the way to Queens [3], but it was really on the way across town to Vera's penthouse from the café where they met Samantha. Lane told her to fuck off, that she was just friends with Gary, and if anybody drove her to her death it was Debra.

He has some suggestions for upgrades and they discuss how well Peabody played Debra, but how it still doesn’t add up to murder. D. Robb has a way with a story, but it is no longer enough to cancel out the cliched sameness, for me at least. She says she didn’t wish him dead, just that he had been caught with his pants down around his ankles and his cock in some ingénue, but that won’t happen now. Not that she hasn’t put plenty of widows and widowers behind bars for being the instrument of their late spouse’s becoming their late spouse, but in those cases there’s usually at least some inkling of trouble in not-exactly paradise.Debra admits she found a room to stay behind in, stole the Tony, got Cela to put her bag into a closet ("Expect, don’t explain. Jenkinson points at the motto posted over the break room door, "NO MATTER YOUR RACE, CREED, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, OR POLITICAL AFFILIATION, WE PROTECT AND SERVE,* BECAUSE YOU COULD GET DEAD.

And since the champagne cocktail that killed him was originally intended for Eliza, it's possible she was the real target, with a recently fired assistant, a bitter rival, and an obsessed fan in the picture.

I also laughed a bunch of times during conversations they were having (which has been a while believe me). Everyone who’s important in the theater and film community are there to commemorate the event with rehearsals beginning the next day and Brant leaving to begin a new vid project. She threatened to ruin him, to tell people he molested her daughter, raped her unless he cut professional ties.Peabody is still playing the sycophant, asking Lane to cooperate, saying she asked Eve to bring her straight to Interview to avoid holding.

She’s butted heads with many people she’s worked with, but nothing serious, saying she doesn’t have Brant’s easygoing temperament, but can’t think of anybody who would want to kill her. Eve lays out the rest of the evidence, and Eliza starts weeping, saying Bernstein killed Brant, and she lost her mind, went to confront her, where Bernstein told Lane she wanted her dead, to pay for Leah, and then poured something from the vial into her glass and drank it – she killed herself right in front of Lane. Eve sees that Eliza’s stalker was released two months ago and looks like a psychopath: “shaggy brown hair and the eyes of a puppy who might decide to take a quick bite at any moment. What she’s really thinking about are all the often little things about one’s life that change – or at least should – when another person becomes part of that life.

Mira joins them in Interview, where Crommell explains that Brant kept Eliza and him apart by blurring her memory of him – "sorcery. Escape Rating B: I was so very grateful to sink into the comfort of yet another absorbing case with Dallas and Roarke that I’m tempted to give this one all the stars because it was absolutely the right book at the right time for this reader, particularly after yesterday’s rant-fest of a book. It looks like Rose and Minerva spent time together in Chicago, including dance classes, before Rose moved to New York at 15 with her mother. A famous actor raises a glass of champagne as a toast to his wife, takes a sip and crashes to the ground. Offered to have sex with him if he talked Leah into firing her agent and slapped him when he told her it was her fault Leah took pills, drank too much, stuck her fingers down her throat if she ate a real meal.

I especially enjoyed this cast as the theme was carried out well, adding flavor to the mysterious plot.Peabody finds out that the cleaning agency used for Lane’s penthouse uses gray uniforms and brought in two temps the day of the party to do a deep clean; one matches Debra’s height and weight and had ID under Debra Rose. This is the fifty-sixth book in the In Death Eve Dallas series and I have read all of them up to this point.
