What this book is about

The twenty-fourth In Death novel: a teacher at an upscale school is killed with a common poison, but nothing about the crime is simple. Meanwhile, a woman from Roarke's past appears in New York, threatening the stability of Eve and Roarke's marriage in ways Eve is uniquely unable to handle. Roberts balances the murder mystery with the domestic emotional stakes that fuel the series.
