OBSESSION IN DEATH is the latest installment in the In
Death
series by J.D. Robb. As I've noticed in the last few
installments, Eve is
gaining confidence not necessarily in her ability to do
the job but in her
willingness to call people friend...and to form lasting
caring relationships
with them.
As the story opens Eve is at the scene of yet another
gruesome murder.
The victim is defense lawyer, Leanore Bastwick with whom
she has butted
heads on more than one occasion. What sets this crime
scene apart from
most is the lack of any type of evidence with the
exception of a rather bold
message addressed to Eve. It appears that Leanore was
killed to avenge
the injustices that the killer believes Leanore
perpetrated against Eve...at least
in the eyes of the killer.
Speaking of eyes, there are no eye-witnesses and an
amazingly clean crime
scene. How will Eve begin to find a killer and bring
justice to the victim?
When a second victim is discovered the sense of urgency
increases. The
new victim, Ledo also has an attachment to Eve. Another
crime scene with
no evidence left behind except for another message
addressed
to Eve. From the wording of the message, Eve and those
involved in bringing
this killer to justice see the killer escalating. Eve and
her team's prime focus is on
finding the killer and bringing
him...or her...in.
As Eve and her team work the case they discover that the
killer is
targeting people who have wronged Eve or
distracts Eve from seeing the killer as the one and only
friend she needs.
As Eve attempts to contact those she now considers
friends, she is amazed
by how wide her circle of friends and close acquaintances
has grown.
With OBSESSION IN DEATH J.D. Robb has humanized Eve a bit
more.
Throw in some cameo appearances by beloved secondary
characters and
wrap it around a page-turning thriller and you have a book
guaranteed to
keep you away from your friends until the last page is
turned.
SUMMARY
Lieutenant Eve Dallas walks the thin line between love and
hate in this fabulous 40th thriller from #1 New York
Times-bestseller J. D. Robb... Eve Dallas has solved a lot of high-profile murders for the
NYPSD and gotten a lot of media. She—and her billionaire
husband—are getting accustomed to being objects of
attention, of gossip, of speculation. But now Eve has become the object of one person’s obsession.
Someone who finds her extraordinary, and thinks about her
every hour of every day. Who believes the two of them have a
special relationship. Who would kill for her—again and again. With a murderer reading meanings into her every move,
handling this case will be a delicate—and
dangerous—psychological dance. And Eve knows that underneath
the worship and admiration, a terrible threat lies in wait.
Because the beautiful lieutenant is not at all grateful for
these bloody offerings from her “true and loyal friend.” And
in time, idols always fall.
