In the year 2060, cutting-edge investigative tools can help catch a killer. But there are some questions even the most advanced technologies cannot answer. . . . At the most solemn moment of a Catholic funeral Mass, the priest brings the chalice to his lips. Seconds later, he is dead on the altar. For the mourners packed into the pews, Father Miguel Flores's sudden demise is an unimaginable shock. When Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas confirms that the consecrated wine contained enough potassium cyanide to kill a rhino, she's prepared to plunge in and find out why, despite her discomfort with her surroundings. It's not the bodegas and pawnshops of East Harlem that bother her; it's all that holiness flying around St. Cristobal's that makes her uneasy. The autopsy reveals scars from knife wounds, a removed tattoo, and evidence of plastic surgery, suggesting "Father Flores" may not have been the man his parishioners thought. Now, as Eve pieces together clues that suggest identity theft, gang connections, and a deeply personal act of revenge, she hopes to track down whoever committed this unholy act. Until a second murder - in front of an even larger crowd of worshippers - knocks the whole investigation sideways. The way Eve sees it, vengeance may be the Lord's business, but if there's going to be any earthly justice in this case, it's up to her.

As usual I was not disappointed in this series, I love the new ideas for the crimes that Nora Roberts comes up with. I enjoy seeing Roarke and Eve interact, as they are more real then most couples in fiction, with there disagreements, differing opinions but always there for the other person. One thing that does bug me a little though is Roarke always helping with the cases now...would that happen in real life to the extent it now does. Sometimes I think I would like it better if it was more like the beginning when she only went to him as a last resort for help, but it is fiction.
Only thing missing from this, I thought, was more interaction with the people in Eve's life, other then just her co-workers. I want to see her interacting more with Mavis and and Belle, it is so funny how in this one thing, a baby, she is totally out of her depth and it always makes her seem more real.
Other then that I liked the twist on this story, the con man gets conned in the end basically...
I can't wait for the next installment of my favourite series.

A good instalment. I enjoyed the links to "Creation in Death", the Father Lopez character (hope he appears in a future book), and the scene with Eve and Roarke in the police car which didn't involve driving.

This is one of my favorite mystery series, but this book is just "ok." I can't even give you a strong reason why I feel that way. The characters were just as entertaining as they usually are, and the crime was complex and interesting, but I just couldn't get into it. The best explanation I can offer is that there just wasn't a whole lot going on other than the actual crime investigation. Usually these books have some kind of secondary plotline going on (example: Mavis's baby or the Peabody/Mcnabb romance) but this one didn't. One of the things that I like about this series is the way the characters develop, and that didn't happen here. Or maybe it was just me. I haven't read any of this series in a while and it was a big change of gears to try and get into this one.
Don't get me wrong, this was still a good book and I definitely like the series as a whole. But if you're new to the exploits of Lt. Eve Dallas, don't start with this one.
