Vendetta in Death by J.D. RobbMy rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
There is just something about the In-Death series that I love. They are fast paced, easy to read and have some kick ass characters. Vendetta in Death (#49) was no different. Here we see out hero, Eve Dallas and hunky husband, Roarke take on the challenge of catching a killer who is targeting men. But not everything is what it seems and Eve, Roarke and the rest of the gang; Peabody, McNab and Feeney are players in a game of chess to try and catch the killer and bring them to justice.
What I really like about these characters is that they are trying to balance their everyday lives with their work lives and like most people there is some overlap. There is a particular part in the book where Eve is speaking to Mavis and it really resonates with how sweet it is in a time of turmoil. (Eve and Roarke’s lives seem pretty hectic and turmoil seems to be quite normal). Eve is an amazingly strong character with a lot of sass and it is really great to read about her and Roarke’s journey through her eyes as a police officer and his as a reformed criminal.
This book is fast-paced and you do get to see through the killer’s eyes and feel a little bit of sympathy for them, even though they are bat-poo crazy! There is definitely a fine line here when it comes to justice and it will be interesting to see if people sympathise with the killer or their victims in this one (a talking point that I’m sure J. D. Robb put in there for a reason). If you like crimes novels, set in the future with some amazing characters, great story-lines and spider web stories, then this one is for you. A great read!
