Show Notes

In this episode, we talk about a subject suggested by listener Mary, who called the number: The people that intimidate Eve.
There are really only a few people that we know of that intimidate Eve: Mrs. Whitney, Trina and Mira’s Admin.
We talk about the reasons why she may be intimidated by these people, and talk about how it’s interesting that they are all women. We can’t think of any men in this series that really intimidate Eve.
A lot of it is about Eve wanting to maintain control. Eve doesn’t like it if someone else has control of a situation that involves her.
This theory was also mentioned to us by listener Yvonne who said:

“My theory/s – Doing her police job Eve is not frightened of those she comes up against.  Does the job, investigates the crime, interviews the suspects, charges them.  All of this is under her control.  However, when it comes to Anna Whitney and Feeney’s wife, Eve has no control over them, they call the shots with their husbands, basically they do as they are told within the confines of their marriages.  Trina is in charge of Eve’s appearance to a certain extent, as she is her hair, face, and body consultant.  Eve has no say over this, hates having Trina let loose on her.  Mira’s Admin is protective of her boss, and Eve has no sway over her or control in trying to get interviews.

Basically I think, for what it’s worth, that it’s lack of control, and Eve is not used to being in that situation .  She gives orders and expects them to be carried out without question, and can order people about.  However, with Anna Whitney, Feeney’s wife, Trina, and Mira’s Admin, Eve is completely out of her comfort zone, and knows it’s them who call the shots.”

(I completely forgot to read this email on the show, and I apologize to Yvonne for this, but she is absolutely right with this theory. –AJ)
BONUS DISCUSSION: We got a question on Twitter from Heidi who wanted to know what AJ and Jen’s favorite Non-In Death Nora Roberts books are, so we talk about that a bit.
