These books never seem to disappoint. This series is SO long, it would seem that by now it would go stale - many other series haven't hit the halfway point yet and are dead and dry and predictable. I suppose these books are predictable - you know which characters will pop up and mostly what they will say/do, and that Eve will solve the crime in the end, but the procedure along the way never seems dull for me.

And I realized while listening to this one, Robb/Roberts did a hell of a job of predicting the future. The first book came out in 1995 - holy crap!! - and she did an amazing job of predicting the future here. This series could easily feel as cringy as watching old episodes of Lost in Space with predictions of the future, but she did well, and as the series continues, you can see present day issues and topics being woven into this future fantasy.

And audio narration by Susan Erickson is still top notch, as always.
