Synopsis

The year 2060 is drawing to a close, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. It’s a time for loved ones to come together. But sometimes the deepest hatreds seethe within the closest relationships, and blood flows faster than water….For Lieutenant Eve Dallas of the NYPSD, the job is a useful reminder of what she has to be grateful for this season. Hosting Roarke’s big Irish family for the holiday may be challenging, but it’s a joyful improvement on her own dark childhood.Other couples aren’t as lucky as Eve and Roarke. The Reinholds, for example, are lying on the floor of their Downing Street apartment, stabbed and bludgeoned almost beyond recognition. Those who knew them are stunned—and even more heartbroken by the overwhelming evidence that they were murdered by their own son. Twenty-six-year-old Jerry hadn’t exactly made a good impression on all the bosses who fired him or the girlfriend who dumped him—but they didn’t think he was capable of this.Turns out Jerry is not only capable of brutality but taking a liking to it. With the money he’s stolen from his parents, and a long list of grievances, he intends to finally make his mark on the world. Eve and her team already know the who, how, and why of this murder. What they need to pinpoint is where Jerry’s going to strike next.

About J. D. Robb

Boonsboro, Maryland resident famous author, Nora Roberts has been writing suspense novels very successfully, under the pseudonym of J. D. Robb since 1995. Her first In Death series book was Naked in Death, to which readers were immediately attracted to the main character…Eve Dallas, and her love interest…Roarke.

Since the book in the series in 1999, Loyalty in Death, every Robb novel has been included on the New York Times bestsellers list. Many of Robb's fans were suspicious that Roberts and Robb might be one in the same, and those suspicions were verified by her twelfth book in 2001.

Some of Robb's biggest fans are other famous mystery writers, such as the likes of Stephen King and Jonathan Kellerman......pretty good critics! The In Death series will continue as long as Robb wants to keep writing the novels. She has said that if Eve has a child in a novel, that will be a signal that the series is concluding.

Goodreads review by Jilly on January 19, 2019

Sometimes I love a good bad guy. Especially if they are maybe a little crazy. But, the bad guy in this book was so despicable that I couldn't have fun reading his POV at all. He was a whiny, entitled, lazy baby who made me feel extreme rage, and a little bit sick, when reading his thought processes.......more

I am sooo glad I took the time to go back and visit Roarke and Eve again! This may be book #37, but I adored it just as much as the earlier books! Each murder case is unique and keeps me intrigued until Eve captures the killer! I like the fact that even though the murders can be gruesome at times.........more

4.5 stars - Futuristic/Romantic Suspense/Crime/Science Fiction/Thriller How the feck does she do it? After 37 books, I still can’t imagine ever getting enough of this prolific, phenomenal series, particularly the swoon-worthy romance between Roarke and Eve and all the fabulous characters.
