In
a normal happy hour at a local bar, Lt. Eve Dallas and the NYPD’s finest will
find themselves deep in a case that will turn stomachs and test each of them in
some way.
For
in NYC, a murderer has unleashed a toxic mixture that had over hundred people
dead and it’s a race against the clock as Eve, Roarke and their colleagues try
to solve the case before another dies…for this toxin can go airborne at any
time.
Author
J. D. Robb is in fine form in the latest In Death series novel in DELUSION IN
DEATH. With her trademark style, Ms. Robb delivers one wild ride from start
to finish and frankly, each time I open one of the In Death books, I think to
myself that Ms. Robb cannot top her last book. I am always proven wrong and in
her latest release in the series, I was blown away the minute the first page is
cracked open. DELUSION IN DEATH
faces something everyone fears in this day and age-Terrorism and I have to
admit, Ms. Robb delivers one spine tingling moment after another. I was hooked
after the first chapter and this time, the story is more character driven than some
of the last few books but by no means took away from the storyline at all. I
was on the edge of my seat, racing alongside Eve as I figured out the puzzle
pieces of who did this horrific crime and why. The readers find that Eve and
Roarke are still dealing with the aftereffects of what happened in New York to
Dallas as well. We find some things are resolved as well as deliver on much of
the many mentioned Urban Wars that this series revolves around. I found it
truly intriguing to see how much more information the author gave us in this
book than others in the series.
DELUSION
IN DEATH
is the thirty-fifth book in the In Death Series and frankly, I find this is an
author who manages to find fresh new stories/cases for the reader to enjoy, if
you are a newbie to the series or a longtime fan. Ms. Robb delivers a story
that will leave you breathless until the very end when a twist in the storyline
had me going “OH MY GOD!” several times under my breath. This is an author who knows her characters
intimately, who lets them slowly evolve with each book-from Eve to Roarke to
Eve’s relationship with Peabody and more. She lets the characters shine, shows
the reader the hidden shadows beneath them and you fall in love with them all.
Author J. D. Robb kicks it out of the park for her latest installment in the In
Death series and I am eager to see what else this author’s imagination can
conjure up in the future.
If
you are looking for an edge of the seat thrill ride with intriguing characters
and a fast paced storyline then I highly recommend JD Robb’s In Death series. I
do suggest you start from the beginning of the series (Naked in Death) to see
how much Eve has evolved in the series and I bet you that you will fall in love
with her, Roarke and everyone else in the series as much as I do each time I
open one of these books. This was fabulously written and full of intriguing
characters that get better with each book. Now how long until book thirty-six
is out?
This
is an objective review and not an endorsement of this book.
