On one of the city's hottest nights, New York Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas is sent to Central Park-and into a hellish new investigation. The victim is found on the rocks, just above the still, dark water of the lake. Around her neck is a single red ribbon. Her hands are posed, as if in prayer. But it is the eyes-removed with such precision, as if done with the careful hands of a surgeon-that have Dallas most alarmed.
As more bodies turn up, each with the same defining scars, Eve is frantic for answers. Against her instincts, she accepts help from a psychic who offers one vision after another-each with shockingly accurate details of the murders. And when partner and friend Peabody is badly injured after escaping an attack, the stakes are raised. Are the eyes a symbol? A twisted religious ritual? A souvenir? With help from her husband, Roarke, Dallas must uncover the killer's motivation before another vision becomes another nightmare...

Review by: mizim (Miriam)
Dated: 25th of May, 2013
This is one of the books in the series that I don't enjoy as much as the others. The crime is pretty nasty (which isn't unusual), a woman has been raped, murdered, posed and her eyes removed. Dallas is very sceptical when a psychic comes to the station claiming to have seen the attack and wants to help.
I felt like this didn't flow as well as some of the other books, and I just didn't like any of the extra characters (well, as much as you can like the bad guy.) The one bit I did like about the book is when Peabody and Eve sit down for a chat and Eve tells her about what happened to her as a child, great relationship development there.
We also have Peabody in some major danger, which takes it off Eve for a change. It's great writing how Peobody's danger effects everyone, especially Eve who now realises how important Peabody has become to her.
I did find that there was a good, added twist to the book, but as an overall book I just didn't care about anything other than Eve and Peabody this time around.

Discovering that he has nine lives and is destined to be the next 'Chrestomanci' is not part of Christopher's plans for the future: he'd much rather play cricket and wander around his secret dream worlds. But he soon finds that destiny is difficult to avoid, and that having more than the usual number of lives is pretty inconvenient -- especially when you lose them as easily as he does! Then an evil smuggler, known only as The Wraith, threatens the ways of the worlds and forces Christopher to take action!
