From Library Journal
In the second of this futuristic mystery series, protagonist New York police Lieutenant Eve Dallas looks for a serial killer of prominent career women. Eve tenaciously follows the clues whether they imperil her romantic relationship with a millionaire or her beloved job. Truth and justice are the goals she works resolutely toward and that lead her finally to solve the case, save the life of a friend, and command the respect of her tall, dark, handsome lover. If the supporting characters are somewhat stereotypical and the ending easy to predict, the humor and imaginative slice of mid-21st-century life provide scope for the reader's talents. Cristine McMurdo-Wallis gives an enjoyable performance as she adeptly portrays the energetic, idealistic, and dogged detective. She impersonates the characters with confidence and style, whether it is the crusty commander, the shattered daughter of one of the victims, the ambitious, uninhibited journalist, or Eve's cagey Irish lover.

For Lieutenant Eve Dallas, the protagonist in this mid-21st century police procedural, attack is the behavior of choice. Susan Ericksen adroitly portrays this emotionally complex detective with staccato bursts of anger, as well as with soft musings during times of tenderness. The result is a character strong enough to confront a serial killer, soft enough to find murder repellent, and well-developed enough to walk off the written page. While the supporting characters are stereotypical, Erickson presents the crusty commander, the shattered daughter of one of the victims, the ambitious yet totally unprincipled journalist, the cagey Irish lover, and the futuristic android servant with the individuality one would expect from a multicast production, not a single narrator.
