Eve Dallas is about to find her latest case is
one filled with twists and turns that don’t make sense and will have her
scrambling as she tries to discover the connection of who wanted Doctor Kent
Abner dead.
When
Kent Abner opens a package, he doesn’t anticipate dying within seconds as a
toxic substance goes airborne and kills him. As Eve Dallas and her trusty
partner, Det. Peabody try to figure out who would want to murder the friendly
pediatrician, Eve has to sort through Kent’s past and when another dies in the
same grisly manner, she is determined to find the madman behind it and stop
another from dying.
GOLDEN
IN DEATH
is an amazing, enthralling story that will leave you breathless. Fifty books
into this series and you wonder, what can the author do next to top the last
book and J.D. Robb pulls out all the stops with this one. Her mystery of who
the killer(s) were left me hanging until mid-way when I finally started seeing
the clues as Eve, Peabody and the gang rustled them up as well. The story is
full of twists and turns that just had me on the edge of my seat and I was
glued to the pages till the very end since I wanted to see how this story would
end. GOLDEN IN DEATH is a true
marvel as the author does a masterful job capturing the confusion Eve finds
when she is assigned this baffling case. I just could not put this book down,
even to go to sleep. It was that good.
What
makes this series so beloved with her readers is the way the characters
continue to grow with each book. Eve and Raork especially are connected on a
soul level that comes across perfectly in GOLDEN IN DEATH. They have
been through so much in the last several books that it is nice to see the
connection between them grow stronger in this new book. Some may complain that
not all of Eve’s friends, etc. are involved in this fiftieth book but then we
wouldn’t have a story that is so compelling and addicting. We got the core
group (Eve, Roark, Peabody, McNabb, etc.) involved with this one and it works
just fine with the group that is needed by Eve. With an addition of a new
secondary character or two, the reader can enjoy a storyline that could be cut
right from the pages in the future.
GOLDEN
IN DEATH
works because the author delivers a complex mystery to solve filled with
compelling characters that literally step from the pages and into your living
room. They are bold, well written and just downright amazing in my opinion.
This is an author that knows how to craft a story that will leave you
breathless. If you enjoy a high-octane story that will eave you eager for more
than I urge you to run to grab GOLDEN IN DEATH. It’s truly a masterpiece
and now I can’t see where this author goes next in the fifty-first book.
