Eve Ronin is a novice homicide investigator. Much to the consternation of many in the LA County Sheriff Department, she was promoted to her position when a video of her taking down and arresting a movie star for abusing a woman went viral. She is partnered with Duncan “Donuts” Pavone who is counting the days until his retirement. While investigating a missing mother and her two children, they find the victims’ blood splattered home to be the scene of a horrific crime, but the bodies are not there. Although her quick thinking, ability to read clues, and dogged determination indicate she is well deserved of her promotion, Eve still has a lot to learn.

This is the first in the Eve Ronin series and has been on my TBR for a long time as I have read all the subsequent ones, having somehow missed this one. I have enjoyed all of the books. They are well written, fast moving, with good character development. Eve’s heroics at the end of this story had me on the edge of my seat.

I would recommend this series to fans of mysteries/thrillers/police procedurals, especially those featuring personable main characters. All of the books do work as stand alones. ( )

This was my first mystery by Lee Goldberg and it is the start of the Eve Ronin mystery series. I am excited to read the following books.
In this one, Eve is newly assigned to Robbery Homicide following a video of her arresting a celebrity superhero for abusive behavior. She and her partner, Duncan, are called out to investigate a dead man with his throat cut. When Eve realizes that the truck has been moved into their jurisdiction, they leave to investigate another call. This time, they find a bloody massacre, but no bodies. It seems that a mom and her 2 children have been killed. As Eve investigates, she relies on her instincts to follow clues.
I liked the movie industry references and the old fashioned police work. I liked the strong nature of Eve. I look forward to following her career. ( )

This is a very quick read, a lot like if you were watching a 2 -3 episode of this story on TV.
Some of the characters are rather cliched but none the less likable.
The story clips alone smoothly and it even references how Hollywood use non existent science and operates outside of common timelines to wrap up stories- similar to how fast this book wraps up.
Still it is an enjoyable book to read, and really isn’t that the whole point of books like this? ( )

This was fantastic. I loved every minute. This was a great solid police procedural with an engaging cast of characters, an interesting plot and lots of action. I really liked Eve. She was dedicated, caring and ambitious - she wasn't afraid to go after what she wanted or to use every advantage in order to get it. And I really liked that she was unapologetic about it too. She did still have insecurities but for the most part she was confident and unwavering.

The mystery itself was riveting. I didn't see the end coming and it had me chuckling. She ends up going viral again with new footage - this time of her escaping the wildfire with a broken wrist and child. Between that and the first video - awesome! The film industry aspect of the town was really interesting. Her mother, Jen is hilarious. “I really don’t have time for this, Mom. You saw the news. I’m in the middle of a homicide investigation.” “I’m well aware of what you’re doing. I was on the FBI’s Criminal Behavior Task Force.” “You wore an FBI windbreaker and stood in the background on a Criminal Minds episode. It’s not the same thing.” “It still haunts me,” she said.

Goldberg, Lee. Lost Hills (Eve Ronin Book 1) (p. 53). Kindle Edition.
I liked Lisa (the sister) and Duncan (her partner).

I loved when Eve stood up for herself against Biddle and Garvey. I think it was my favourite scene. “When did we become a task force? And when did it become mine?”
“After Sheriff Lansing saw you on the news last night,” Duncan said.
“Translation,” Biddle said. “You get to run the task force because you’re young, you have nice tits, and were in a viral video that got great PR for the department in the middle of the county jail shitstorm.” Garvey added, “As opposed to one of the detectives who’ve actually spent years grinding away and solving homicides and know what the fuck they’re doing.”
“Stop whining. This isn’t new,” she said, getting in his face. “That’s the way you’ve felt since I walked in the door three months ago.”
Garvey wasn’t intimidated. “What did you expect? A standing ovation from the guys who actually earned their promotions?”
“No, Tubbs, this is exactly what I expected.” Eve stepped away from him and shifted her gaze between the three men. “Because it’s the same sexist attitude that would have shut me out of Robbery-Homicide for another ten years . . . and that I still would have faced if I ever got in. So I used the leverage that video gave me to get myself here overnight. Did I leapfrog over people who’ve been struggling to get into Robbery-Homicide for years and haven’t made it? Yes, I did. Do I care? Nope. Do I deserve to be here? It doesn’t matter because here I am, boys. You don’t like it? Too bad. Suck it up or get out. I’m sure the sheriff will give me two other detectives to replace you. They might even stay.”


The whole book wasn't perfect, but it was pretty damn good. A fantastic police procedural and start to a new series. 4 stars. ( )
