Brotherhood in Death

Any time a member of her little circle is involved in the crime I'm always much more invested. And getting more time with Dr. & Dr. Mira made everything much more interesting.

There was one thing that really bothered me.

At one point Eve comes home from a craptacular day and finds a strange woman in her office. Roarke enters and explains who she is and why she's there. Eve is pissed because he had a stranger in her home office without him there (he was in another room) and she didn't like her space being invaded like that. HE gets pissed because he was, in his way, doing something ‘nice' for her and refuses to apologize.

In the last book, Devoted In Death, Eve brings home a fellow cop who had been working on the same case in another state. She leaves him in her home office while she runs to change or something. Roarke walks in finds a strange man in there and flips out. Eve has to apologize for bringing a stranger to HER HOME OFFICE to do WORK along with the other 3 or 4 cops who come also because Roarke didn't know him and she can't just leave a stranger he doesn't know unattended in his house.

Ummmm how is that not okay when she did it, but when he had a stranger in her office it was okay? It's such a small thing, but the Roarke is always right and Eve is always putting her foot in it shtick is kind of grating on my nerves.
