Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The very first line in the novel is; "______ were her business." Please complete the sentence.

Answer: The dead

Lieutenant Eve Dallas works homicide and she is very good at what she does; she becomes the victim's champion. Eve has commented several times, generally at least once per book, that she "stands for" the dead.

2. What is Commander Whitney and Mrs. Whitney's relationship to Cicely Towers?

Answer: Cicely Towers's son is the Whitney's godchild.

The Whitneys were close friends of Cicely Towers. Their children grew up together and the Whitneys are Cicely's son's godparents. Cicely Towers was the first victim in the novel. Mrs Whitney plans on assisting Cicely's children through the period after their mother's death.

3. Whose wedding is being planned?

Answer: Cicely Towers' daughter, Mirina.

Mirina's wedding was being planned when Cicely was murdered. In the course of the investigation there are several references to how happy Cicely was in assisting her daughter with her plans for the wedding.

4. What is the name of the diamond that Roarke gave Eve?

Answer: Giant's Tear

Roarke is fond (or will be) of giving Eve extravagant gifts. This necklace is one that she will continue to wear throughout the series.

5. When Cicely Towers was murdered, her umbrella was discovered missing and it was presumed that the killer took it. When Yvonne Metcalf is murdered, what was missing from the murder scene?

Answer: Her right shoe

When the body of Yvonne Metcalf is found, she was not wearing any shoes, "Death had knocked her out of her shoes." The investigating team could only find her left shoe so they believe that the killer took the right shoe as a souvenir.

6. During a formal interview that Eve conducted with Mrs Whitney, who was Mrs Whitney's counselor?

Answer: Linda, Mrs. Whitney's daughter

Commander Whitney called his daughter, Linda, on the way to his house with Lieutenant Eve and Captain Feeney to interview Mrs Whitney. In a previous interview she failed to mention that she lent her godson a large sum of money, and Eve felt that this was a loose end that might tie into the investigation.

7. While searching David Angelini's home the police found a knife that fit the description of the murder weapon. After this search and discovery who confessed to the murders?

Answer: Marco Angelini

With Marco's son (David) being held in custody by the police, then with Eve discovering a knife in David's home, Marco confessed to the murders. Marco is not the murderer, but Marco believes he is protecting his child (David) by taking the blame for him.

8. Who is the gossip columnist that Eve talks to while at the News Station?

Answer: Larinda Mars

Eve went to the station to talk to C. J. Morse. Eve planned on steering the conversation towards Nadine, and talking to Larinda was a bonus. Eve at this time in the investigation had also become suspicious of Morse's involvement of the murders, and although he didn't know it, he had become a suspect.

9. During a search of Morse's home, Officer Peabody found "the hidden treasure"; what is it?

Answer: One umbrella and one shoe

During the search,Officer Peabody found an umbrella and a shoe in a hidden drawer in Morse's home. They are the key pieces of evidence, information that was kept from the media throughout the investigation. Only the killer would have them, which is why Eve refers to them as the "hidden treasure".

10. Roarke proposed to Eve at the end of this novel.

Answer: True

After defeating the bad guy, and while Eve and Roarke were having their various injuries treated by the medics, Roarke asked Eve to marry him. Although at the end of this novel Eve didn't actually say yes or no, it is safe to assume that Eve said yes.
