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.

                                                           MY REVIEW:

Faithless in Death by J.D. Robb
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

the 52nd book of this series and I can never get enough. This was one of my favorites.

We find out about a big Cult that isn't just in NY city but in other states that branch off of it. Gwen's parents are part owners of the cult. How they treat women is deplorable and they don't believe that gay people should be accepted or mixed marriages. You want to go in steal the children and raise them yourselves.
Thank you to Eve and her team and working with the FBI to see what needs to be done to disban this cult.
