Glory in Death” By J.D. Robb


Review #143
A Lieutenant Eve Dallas Mystery

In the second of this futuristic mystery series, protagonist New York police Lieutenant Eve Dallas looks for a serial killer of prominent career women. Eve tenaciously follows the clues whether they imperil her romantic relationship with a billionaire or her beloved job.

When two beautiful, highly successful women are found murdered, Eve has a long list of suspects. The two glamorous women rubbed elbows with a number of wealthy, powerful men, including her own lover, Roarke.

Truth and justice are the goals she works resolutely toward and that leads her to solve the case, save the life of a friend, and command the respect of her tall, dark, handsome lover. If the supporting characters are somewhat stereotypical and the ending easy to predict, the humor and imaginative slice of mid-21st-century life provide scope for the reader's talents.

Warning: Strong Language and Sexual Situations
