Salvation in Death

This was a smart and well thought out plot. I wasn't able to put the book down. The pages just flew right by.

I've read every book in this series and enjoyed all of them except this one. When a friend told me not to waste my time reading it, I thought she must have been having a bad day. Unfortunately, I had to slog my way through it, hoping it would get better. I was very, very disappointed in the book.

Eve Dallas mid 21st century NY cop and her multi-billionarie husband Roarke are on the case of a murdered Catholic Priest where they immediately have more questions than answers another murdered religious icon and thrills that don't stop until you read the last line.
If you follow the series this is the 27th in the series where you'll get to catch up on all your favorite supporting characters and find out what they're up to now.
If you prefer stand a-lones this one stands all by it's self.

Like other reviewers have stated, parts of this novel seemed phoned in. Where is our edgy Eve, our cagey Rourke, our sassy Peabody?? It felt like the characters were just going through the motions. I was wondering where Mavis was when she suddenly popped in! No repartee with Summerset? And Robb has annoying habit of popping in information that helps solve the case. I've noticed that in every one of her books, where suddenly, she'll make a lightening leap of logic that enables her to solve the case. A flaw? Only if overused.

Three stars for this novel.

Supurb! I think this is the best of the entire series (and I have every one). Just a great murder mystery. They always have me from the beginning but this one I really couldn't put down.

I was beginning to wonder if this series hadn't just about run its course but if they continue like this one I'm in for the duration.

The characters are all there and keeping with their assorted chacteristics, as a matter of a fact each book adds more. It makes for a better rounded Eve.

My only dissappointment in the book is that the author seems to have forgotten about DNA.

Keep them coming! Nora
