Eve Ronin, Book 4

By: Lee Goldberg

Narrated by: Nicol Zanzarella

Malibu Creek State Park is a beautiful locale for campers, tourists, hikers, and Hollywood. For Detective Eve Ronin, it’s a backdrop for murder in a riveting thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg.

For decades Malibu Creek State Park was the spectacular natural setting where Hollywood fantasies were made. But when a female camper is gunned down, it becomes a real-life killing ground. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department homicide detectives Eve Ronin and Duncan Pavone are assigned the case...which Duncan fears is the latest in a series of sniper attacks that began long before Eve came to Lost Hills.

Seven victims over fourteen months...and top officials still refuse to see a connection. Eve and Duncan are stonewalled, threatened, and ordered to keep quiet. But Eve won’t back down. She’s no stranger to intimidation or corruption—she’s had a target on her back from day one at Lost Hills station.

Despite finding no evidentiary links between the shootings, Eve and Duncan follow their instincts into the shadows of Malibu Creek, where it’s not enough to expose the secrets and break the conspiracy of silence. They also have to make it out alive.

Critic reviews

“Bestseller Goldberg’s strong fourth Eve Ronin mystery…[has] assured prose [that] matches the tight plot.”—Publishers Weekly

“Goldberg’s compelling follow-up to Gated Prey is a fast-paced, riveting police procedural influenced by actual events in California. A character-driven series entry that skillfully depicts Hollywood corruption.”—Library Journal (starred review)

“A beautifully cinematic novelist who strikes a precise balance between darkness and humor.”—Bookmarks Magazine

Another Great Book in the Series

Good book, interesting plot. Narrator does a good job. The only issue I have with the Eve Ronin series is her similarity to Eve Dallas series by JD Robb. Enough differences to avoid a lawsuit, but a bit more originality (and a different name) would have been appreciated.

ok but predictable

An interesting addition to the Eve Ronin series. Unfortunately, the killer became obvious about 2/3 of the way through the book, but somehow the star detective Eve Ronin couldn't see it. So the story became very boring at that point.

The funniest book of the series so far!

Love the narrator's Italian Dunkin accent! All of Dunkin's jokes are ROFL! I hope he is staying for the rest of the series. I died laughing when the naked hippie threatened to explode the house by turning on the gas stove tops XD XD XD Brilliant! XD

Another great book

Eve attracts injuries like bees to honey. What's she going to do when Duncan retires. This case had a lot of. twists and turns. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.

Complicated Sniper Case with Twists and Turns

This is book 4 in the Eve Ronin series. I am really enjoying Eve and her partner Duncan and their cases for the Lost Hills Department. Each book builds on the last and I love to see the characters grow. There is humor, great pop culture references and cases with twists and turns. I love an author who is able to throw you for a loop. I only saw one coming and the rest were a complete surprise in the best way. My first favorite remains the Sharpe and Walker series about the arson investigators, but Eve and Duncan have really grown on me. On to Dream Town and I am looking forward to the next Sharpe and Walker book and the next Eve Ronin book this fall. Both of these series are must buys for me. Nicol Zanzarella is fantastic on narration.
