Search - Salvation in Death (In Death, Bk 27)

Just love this book.I love all her books.That Eve Dallas is something else she is one bad ass.Roarke is one sexy man.Eve and Roarke are great together.If you haven't read any of these books you are missing out.

For those J.D. Robb readers, here you go another page turner from her. It amazes me how she can continue to write this stories and keep the readers attention. I've read enough "Dallas" books for Eve to become a member of my family. Always got to keep up with her and Rourke, and the mysteries they set out to solve.

Haven't had time to read this yet - still have most of the series to go thru first! And in this case it does help to have read at least the previous book at a minimum. But if it's anything like the ones that I _have_ read, it'll be great.

This installment moved a lot slower for me than other Eve Dallas books, but the story was still very intense and thought provoking.

What starts out as a routine investigation into the murder of a neighborhood priest during a funeral mass turns into a case of identity theft, greed and retribution and linking to multiple unsolved murders seventeen years prior. Eve tackles this case with the same tenacity and determination she gives to every case. As more layers are revealed, the more complex this case becomes.

When a televangelist is murdered the same way during a sermon, I immediately thought Eve would be tracking a serial killer targeting religious leaders. When the second murder is solved fairly quickly, I realized that the murders are not connected, other than cause of death.

Not a lot of sparring with Somerset in this story, unfortunately. I am looking forward to Eve losing her mind over hosting Louise's bridal shower. She would much rather get into fights with criminals than come within a hundred miles of giggling women. I can't wait to see how it plays out.

After 27 installments of this series, I feel like I'm putting on a comfortable sweater when I'm reading an Eve Dallas book. The characters are so well written that the reader feels a deep rapport with them. Luckily for the readers, this series does not appear to be running out of steam.

As always, J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts) has the reader at the edge of their seat and laughing also. The suspense and puzzle of "who done it" is excellent. A terrific read for those who like action.

I love powerful Eve Dallas and how the complex New York crimes are solved. If you don't wanna bite her husband, don't read these books! Nora Robert's best writing is as JD Robb in this "In Death" series of some 30 stories to date. I collect all of the JD Robb books, but skip the Roberts, whose stories are not as tight as those about Lt. Eve Dallas - ass kicker! If the future of New York is like this, I fear these killers who are sneaky and complex.
