The Sunday Times bestselling series is back, and Eve Dallas is on the case! The spotlight is shining brighter than ever, but danger lurks around every corner. At a glittering party hosted by Eliza Lane and Brant Fitzhugh, the most glamorous celebrity couple, a murder has taken place. To everyone's surprise, Fitzhugh, the charismatic host, has fallen to the floor, dead from cyanide poisoning. It's up to Lt. Eve Dallas to step in and investigate this shocking crime.

From all accounts, Fitzhugh wasn't the type to make enemies. However, Eliza had many rivals, and a few of them could be considered enemies. The champagne cocktail that killed Brant was originally intended for Eliza, raising the possibility that she was the true target. With so many people present at the party, Eve has her work cut out for her. Determining who could commit murder in the middle of a crowd is no easy task, especially for someone who doesn't enjoy the spotlight. Eve is determined to find the truth, even if it means navigating through a media circus and dealing with false accusations.

As she delves deeper into the investigation, Eve discovers that there are more twists and turns than she could have imagined. The party was a scene of jealousy, secrets, and alliances. Each guest had their own motive for wanting Fitzhugh dead, and Eve must navigate through a web of lies and deceit to uncover the truth.

One of the key suspects is Fitzhugh's ex-wife, Celeste, who was present at the party and had a history of rivalry with Eliza. Celeste claims that she had nothing to do with the murder, but Eve isn't convinced. There are also whispers of a secret love affair between Fitzhugh and a young actress named Lily, which could have led to a jealous rage and a fatal confrontation.

As Eve closes in on the truth, she faces a dangerous confrontation with the killer. The stakes have never been higher, and Eve must use all of her skills and resources to bring the culprit to justice. With the spotlight on her, Eve must stay one step ahead of the game and protect herself and those she cares about.

In the end, Eve discovers that the murder was not as straightforward as it seemed. There were layers of deception and betrayal, and the true motive behind the crime was more complex than anyone could have imagined. With the case solved, Eve can finally move on and return to her life, but the memories of this case will stay with her forever.

The Sunday Times bestselling series has once again captivated readers with its thrilling plot and unforgettable characters. Eve Dallas is a true hero, and her determination to find the truth is an inspiration to all. This case may have been a glittering event, but it was also a deadly one, and Eve Dallas will do whatever it takes to bring the killer to justice.
