Desperation in Death: An Eve Dallas thriller (In Death 55)

Product Information

My tags should show what many of the triggers are, but this novel in particular will have many triggers.

The futuristic suspense series stars Eve Dallas, a New York City police lieutenant with a dark past. What isn’t quite working for me after so many books is that Eve is beginning to just sound like the boss bitch and she’s exhausting.These two really are sisters, and the couple of scenes we get in this book shows why they trust and love each other. D. Robb (pseudonym for Nora Roberts) brings murder, suspense, and anguish to a well-written futuristic police procedural set in New York City during the spring of 2061. This book pushed my belief that they’d need to keep it a secret when it’s happening very much out in the open right now. Roarke, of course, is on hand to serve as an expert Civilian Consultant especially given the nature of the case. As always with these books, I enjoyed the time I spent with the characters more than I did about the case.

There was some surprising tension between Eve and Mavis towards the start, it sucked because both of them were right.Mina and Dorian, two young girls trapped in an horrific situation, and desperate enough to plan an escape. This is a heavy topic and a very serious one, but there is still opportunity for some very funny one liners between Peabody and Eve. Eve and Roarke struggle with emotional issues as they work through the case – after all – what these children are going through is very similar to both of their backgrounds as children.
