Book Description:
Technology may be different in 2060 New York, yet the city is still a place of many cultures and great divides. But as ever, some murders receive more attention than others-especially those in which the victim is a prominent businessman, found in his Park Avenue apartment, tied to the bed-and strangled-with cords of black velvet.Members who requested this book also requested:
It doesn't surprise Lieutenant Eve Dallas that Thomas Anders's scandalous death is a source of titillation and speculation to the public-and of humiliation to his family. But while people in the city are talking about it, those close to Anders aren't so anxious to do the same. With some help from her billionaire husband, Roarke, Eve's soon knocking on doors-or barging through them-to find answers.
But the facts don't add up. Physical evidence suggests that the victim didn't struggle. The security breach in the apartment indicates that the killer was someone known to the family, but everyone's alibi checks out. Was this a crime of passion in a kinky game gone wrong-or a meticulously planned execution? It's up to Dallas to solve a case in which strangers may be connected in unexpected, and deadly, ways.

This is my all-time favorite series, but STRANGERS IN DEATH wasn't my favorite book. Although the mystery is interesting, as always, there wasn't much character development, and most of my favorite characters (Mavis, Summerset, McNab, etc.) are rarely mentioned.
Overall, you won't want to miss this installment if you're a fan of the series, but this isn't the best place for a newcomer to begin reading.

This is one of the few series that I will purchase new in hardback. This title is the only one that has been less than satisfying.
There is less action, sex (if you care about that), character growth/change than any other in the series, IMHO. I didn't care much about the victim or the villain. Surely hope that this series is not dying off because I love the characters but it seemed as if the author owed her publisher a book so she scrawled out 350+ pages.
I didn't hate it because I love the characters, major and minor, but it didn't grab me and if this had been the first title I had read, I probably wouldn't have read another.

Lt. Eve Dallas and her crew once again have to unravel a mystery surrounding the death of a prominent man. This book was not as action-filled as many others in the series, but the story was engaging and moved at a fast pace. Very enjoyable read.
