“Indulgence in Death”   by J.D. Robb

A Lieutenant Eve Dallas Novel

2011 Book Review #21

 Publishers Weekly Review

Lt. Eve Dallas of the New York Police and Security Department returns home from a long overdue Irish vacation to a string of bizarre murders in Robb's thrilling 32nd future cop novel.

The crossbow killing of chauffeur Jamal Houston in his limo in a La Guardia parking lot is followed by the death of high-rent prostitute Ava Crampton, found at Coney Island's House of Horrors stabbed with a bayonet. Other victims include Luc Delaflote, a celebrity chef who's harpooned, and Adrianne Jonas, "a facilitator for the rich" strangled with a handmade bullwhip.

Eve, assisted by her trustworthy sidekicks, Detective Delia Peabody and husband Roarke, uncovers a wicked game that grows increasingly macabre.

 Robb (the pseudonym of Nora Roberts) keeps the reader squirming as Eve and company try to avoid dying in weird ways themselves. 

My Thoughts:   I love all the Eve Dallas mysteries!
