I think the high rise condo would fit. Or, as I suggested, living in one of his hotels. IMO, no way would he have lived in his office. If he was on a financial level to buy and renovate that mansion, he would never have settled for living in his office. No couch with a pull out mattress would have been good enough.

Also, he probably had Summerset…[Read more]

There really isn’t an answer to this question, just something else to ID-geek about.

Have any of you ever thought about where Roarke lived before his current mansion? I’ve forgotten how long he’s been there, but I think it’s something like seven, eight or nine years. Which means he bought it, renovated and moved in at a very young age. I seem to…[Read more]

Without question he would have still become Roarke. He was driven. He had goals and was already on his way to meeting them. If anything, if Marlena had not died, he would have accomplished more sooner than he did. He never was going to be with her. Even if Summerset would have approved, and I’m not sure he would have, Roarke did not love her…[Read more]

Quinlan73, I believe you and I are speaking of the same device. I don’t remember the locator doing anything else but advising who is home and where they are, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

ElectricOutcast, this light system is in the same vein. Progressively controlling (operating) various systems in your home by voice.

I’ve no doubt Roarke would release his own voice activated speaker system if he thought there was money to be made. His ‘R&D” department is always working on something. There are many voice controlled devices in his house. One that comes to mind is the speaker system. Eve has used it a few times to locate Roarke in the house, or to verify if he’s…[Read more]

I saw this morning that Apple is coming out with their own voice controlled speaker system. Certainly to compete with Google and whoever else has one already on the market. The correspondent mentioned he thought the next generation of speakers would be able to recognize different voices. This would line up with knowing the preferences of each…[Read more]

I enjoyed parts of this book. I will have to do a reread before I can make further claims. I will say, the section where Eve was working out the killer’s impetus was convoluted at best. I had a difficult time slogging through it. But, after I passed that, I enjoyed the book. I really enjoyed Eve and Peabody in this one. The sewing angle was…[Read more]

I didn’t see that movie.

I saw this story this morning on the current use of holos. I know in the books it seemed holos were primarily used for business meetings. This is entertainment, but still, it’s progress in their use. Closer and closer to what we know of them from the books.

Very excited! I received an email from Turn the Page. My book is on it’s way today. I doubt I will receive it by tomorrow, but there’s a decent chance I will get it on Monday. Not much earlier than the release, but I’ll take it!

More life like robots! If they would put a wig on Sophia, it would be scary real!

LOL! You are right. I will lean on the feeble excuse of not having read Naked for some time for the reason for confusing those rooms. Even though they did sleep together that time he did revealed his private office, I still thought that was significant he let her in even that much. Everything about that office was illegal. I’m not sure if it was…[Read more]

I don’t think Eve was ever in danger of losing Roarke, especially concerning his father’s murder. I thought she didn’t tell him because she felt it was Summerset’s story to tell. She was honoring a confidence. Which, surprised Summerset when Roarke told him Eve had not revealed anything.

As for the Irish police, all they have would be rumor. How…[Read more]

I don’t think that’s why she punched him. I always thought it was to pay back for what he put her through after Magdalena came back. I know he didn’t intend to put her through anything, but, as was stated, he still had his blinders on regarding Magdalena. And, he managed for a time to blame Eve (and Summerset) instead of himself.

BTW, this is…[Read more]

This is my take.

1. Even though it stated Magdalena eloped with the mark, that doesn’t mean they got married the same day they left. Or the next. She left with him, certainly intending to marry him, and I’m thinking the ceremony didn’t happen until he was able to have a prenup written and signed. That could have happened a few days later. He was…

So….more evidence of Nora being ahead of her time.

This was a story on today about new tech. This convention always has some amazing reveals.

One of the things that caught my ID influenced eye was, I believe Alexa helping in the bathroom. What on earth do you say? You can tell Alexa, before you get in the shower, what temp you want the shower to be when you finally get in. Not quite the same as…[Read more]

Yes and no. Did she habitually do this? She seemed to have never heard of Roarke before Feeney  found his name in Sharon Declass’s address book and mentioned how rich he was. Even then, it seemed she only ran him in connection with the case.

With the level of animosity Summerset had for Eve, I always wondered if he had used Roarke’s unregistered…[Read more]
