What this book is about

The twenty-third In Death novel: two young accountants are murdered, and the thread connects to a pregnant woman Mavis wants to help. Roberts adds a personal emotional layer — Mavis is the one who brings Eve this case, and the pregnant woman's vulnerability forces Eve to engage with something she has avoided thinking about. The accounting firm cover-up is solid thriller plotting.
