In the 5th book in the series, the investigation revolves around witchcraft and satanic rituals related to the murder of a police officer. That’s a difficult situation for Eve made all the more difficult when her commander advises that she cannot discuss the case with her surrogate father and former partner Feeney. We get nice background information that explains the relationship between Feeney and Eve. There is also more development of the cast of characters that we’ve grown to know and love, namely Peabody and others. Of course, you can’t forget Eve’s relationship with Roarke. Sigh. The tough as nails cop and her lover are one of the most interesting and amazing couples in romantic suspense. I totally recommend this book in the IN DEATH series.
Loved it! Wonderful characters and interesting plot
All of the JD Robb books are consuming. They are also a peak at the future.
Love JD Robb books
Love the characters and the author.
JD Robb never disappoints. I’ve read every book in the “In Death” series. Eve and Roarke are the quintessential couple, and the add Mavis, Nadine and Peabody and you have a great mystery and fun characters.
I enjoy all of J. D. Robb’s books.
I love all of the JD Robb books this one was no exception.
Fast paced and over far too soon,
Great
J.D. Robb is one of my favorite authors for a reason. Builds great characters and entertains throughout. I’m never disappointed.
I love all of her books and look forward to reading more of them.They are a little futuristic but still believable.I also like. The reasoning process for finding the murderer.
I love JD Robbs in death series. The stories are action packed with wonderful characters
I have read all 50 or 51 books my favorite author JD Robb great books loved them all once you start you won’t stop so good
Another good book about Eve, Rourke, Peabody, and the rest of the characters. Always a good read
While I haven’t quite finished the book I have truly enjoyed it. Another 50 pages will prove it so.
Best book in this series in quite some time.. they were becoming predictable
3.5 stars. Not my favourite as I felt Eve stepped away from trusting her instincts and acted emotionally instead of her usual controlled, clear thinking self.
Rituals, orgies and murder are unfortunately used as the backdrop to a series of murders.
One of the victims is a cop, another is his granddaughter.
Wiccan witchcraft is abused purely for profiteering and an innocent man with his own horrendous past, is taken apart in interview by Eve.
I sort of understand where Eve was coming from but felt like she was taking the easy route. It was all too neatly presented.
Great to see Peabody willing to question Eve’s behaviour and methods.
Poor Jamie, losing his sister and grandad like that.
Fantastic dramatic ending.
I have owned most of these books in paperback for years but now have them all in eBook format, so I am rereading this series once more in order, updating and replacing missing reviews.
Even knowing what is in the future, it is absolutely no hardship to reread this series and I am really enjoying how all the characters are growing and changing.
Love JD Robb and her amazing characters. I would love to live in a world where Eve and Roarke were people that I knew. Each and every story leaves you wanting more and the glimpses into the characters’ personal lives leave you looking for more. I read every one of these books as soon as they are released!
Witch craft, black magic, murder, steamy love.. All the things that make Eve Dallas, Roarke and JD Robb books kick ass all the time.
Love all JD Robb series
