Review: NetGalley Read Now
The scene in the West Village studio appears to be classic crime-of-passion: two wine glasses by the bed, music playing, and a young sculptor named Ariel Byrd with the back of her head bashed in. But when Dallas tracks down the wealthy Upper East Side woman who called 911, the details don't add up. Gwen Huffman is wealthy, elegant, comforted by her handsome fiancé as she sheds tears over the trauma of finding the body--but why did it take an hour to report it? And why is she lying about little things?
As Eve and her team look into Gwen, her past, and the people around her, they find that the lies are about more than murder. As with sculpture, they need to chip away at the layers of deception to find the shape within--and soon they're getting the FBI involved in a case that involves a sinister, fanatical group and a stunning criminal conspiracy.

I think this may have been the second book I have read in this series, and I remember it took me a minute to get into that one as well. I believe it is because it is taking place in the future, and you gotta get used to that part of the storyline.
What ends up being brought to light is a cult that is not for the good. You can see just how much is done within this cult, and how brainwashed some of the folks are within those walls. I have to say, I really love the way Eve Dallas handles herself, and once she has her teeth into something, she doesn't let it go.
If you like crime and the fact that it takes place in the future, I'd say jump into the book.
