Review #17
Main Character: Lt. Eve DallasThis novel is set in the year 2060 and is a futuristic romantic suspense
It is the 30th full-length book of the 'In Death' series.
Nora Roberts writes as J.D. Robb
For NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas, there is no such thing as a holiday from work. Eve had just settled into a quiet Peace Day at home with her husband, sexy Irish billionaire Roarke, when the call comes in. When NYSPD Captain MacMasters and his wife arrive home early from a week-end vacation and find their 16 year old daughter viciously murdered, the first thing MacMasters does is request that Eve head up the investigation. Eve and her team are determined to quickly and successfully close the case, but despite a number of potential leads, the murderer always seems to be one step ahead.
New York City law officers have more technological weapons at their disposal in 2060 but, so do the criminals. An impressive team of professionals-augmented by Dallas's husband, Roarke, and his young protege, Jaime Lingstrom, begins the arduous task of collecting and analyzing data. Clues suggest Deena may not be the only victim targeted by her killer and this increases the pressure on Dallas and her cohorts.
Robb combines sex, horrific crime, forensics and technological wizardry for another winner sure to please her many fans. For those of you who do not read books with
vulgar language, this one is not for you. It is not excessive, but it is there.
I love J.D. Robb's characters in this series of 'In Death' books. However, there is much more behind the scenes than is told in this volume. I would suggest, before you read this book, reading one of the first books in the series so that you will understand the backgrounds and natures of the characters. (For instance, you need to know why Eve Dallas killed her father when she was 8 years old and how a thieving street boy in Dublin becomes a billionaire married to Eve.) They are unique, indearing and witty folks!
Naked in Death , Glory In Death and Immortal in Death are the first 3 books in this series.
I love the In Death series and have read most of the books twice. I agree that if someone hasn't read any of the books to start with the first one and get the start of the story for Eve.
