Search - Loyalty in Death (In Death, Bk 9)

another excellent book in the series. in this book, eve finds herself tracking down a terrorist who is threatening to destroy the whole city. to top it off, she faced with the threat of losing roarke as she witnesses him go over the edge. an edge of your seat read.

#9 in the JD Robb/Nora Roberts "In Death" series.

Fast moving terrorist plot hatched by our own citizens. "We are Cassandra" deliver cryptic clues and messages about their intended targets, as well as impossible demands, to the police, headed by our Heroine, Eve Dallas. To make matters more complex, her assistant's (Peabody) visiting brother becomed inadvertently drawn into the conflict through a conniving woman, and as usual, it takes both Dallas and her husband Roarke to save the day.

More Action oriented than even the usual "In Death" novel, I liked this one quite a bit! A bit of political intrigue and the usual people-who-are-not-who-they-seem-to-be.

Eve finds herself in the middle of a fight to save the landmarks of New York City from a mad bomber.

Very good book....fell asleep with it in my hands trying to finish it and find out who was behind the bombings.

I enjoyed this 9th installment in the Death series. This sees Eve pitting her skills against a terrorist group going by the moniker of Cassandra, who are set upon destroying symbols of perceived capitalist greedmongers. There is a Side story of Peabody and her brother which sees Eve juggling more than one murder and the ties that bind all of them together. Peabody and McNabb continue their game of romantic cat and mouse, further complicating the mix. Topic is relevant in the past, present and in the future. It takes all of her wits, with a bit of help from the ever present Roarke to solve this case before more lives are lost. It did not disapoint.

If you don't care for Nora Roberts BUT love Mystery/Dark Thrillers with a side of romance and a dash of comedy - then I think you'll love J.D. Robb's ... In Death series written by Nora Roberts alter ego.

I won't go into the details of the books but will tell you this: Superb character development, continuity of the story line (which means you really need to read the books in order although they can stand alone) is top notch, the relationships that are webbed and weaved together throughout each page are phenomenal and let's the reader 'really' get to know the characters.
