Lieutenant Eve Dallas is a homicide cop who doesn't
typically assist on a missing person's case. Eve is
wrapping things up for the day when Dr. Charlotte Mira
enters her office flustered, a state Eve rarely, if ever,
sees
her in. Dennis Mira had gone to his grandparents'
home, hoping to confront his cousin, former Senator
Edward Mira, over the potential sale of the home. Dennis
sees his cousin has been beaten and then is knocked
unconscious himself. Now Edward is missing, and Eve fears
the clock is ticking on Edward's life when no ransom note
is received. The case soon takes a very dark and deadly
turn as Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her team find
themselves enmeshed in secrets from the past.
I love Dennis Mira and have wanted to know more about
him, particularly after he gave Eve that silly snowflake
hat that warms both her head and her heart every time she
puts it on. BROTHERHOOD IN DEATH, the forty-second book in
the
long-running In Death series, delves deeply into
the life of Mr. Mira's cousin and those who surround him.
More importantly, we get the little glimpses into the
personality of Mr. Mira, which make him such a treasured,
fatherly figure. The scene where he makes homemade hot
chocolate for Eve and Peabody brought tears to my eyes as
his warmth and love shine through the pages.
BROTHERHOOD IN DEATH is one of the more intense books in
the In Death series as Eve's past rears its ugly
head again. I love how Eve stands for her victims, no
matter how awful they may have been in life, as she seeks
justice for their murders. BROTHERHOOD IN DEATH puts her
in quite the conundrum and gives us some touching moments
with Eve processing her thoughts and feelings not only
with Roarke but also Mr. Mira and Peabody. I love every
book in the In Death series but BROTHERHOOD IN
DEATH certainly ranks among my favorites as we see Eve
acknowledging her own strengths and ability to rise
beyond the horrors she experienced as a child.
J.D. Robb offers readers an exciting and intense thriller
as BROTHERHOOD IN DEATH digs deeply into some dark and
twisted places. J.D. Robb is an absolute master at
crafting realistic characters and showing us their all-too-
human emotions,
and this is never more evident than in
BROTHERHOOD IN DEATH. New readers to the In Death
series will appreciate the phenomenal story and
beautifully written characters while fans of the series
will cherish the insights given into beloved characters.
If you haven't read a J.D. Robb book, then jump right in
with BROTHERHOOD IN DEATH.
The new novel featuring homicide detective Eve Dallas
from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of
Devoted in Death.
Sometimes brotherhood can be another word for conspiracy.
. . .
Dennis Mira just had two unpleasant surprises. First he
learned that his cousin Edward was secretly meeting with a
real estate agent about their late grandfather’s magnificent
West Village brownstone, despite the promise they both made
to keep it in the family. Then, when he went to the house to
confront Edward about it, he got a blunt object to the back
of the head.
Luckily Dennis is married to Charlotte Mira, the NYPSD’s top
profiler and a good friend of Lieutenant Eve Dallas. When
the two arrive on the scene, he explains that the last thing
he saw was Edward in a chair, bruised and bloody. When he
came to, his cousin was gone. With the mess cleaned up and
the security disks removed, there’s nothing left behind but
a few traces for forensics to analyze.
As a former lawyer, judge, and senator, Edward Mira mingled
with the elite and crossed paths with criminals, making
enemies on a regular basis. Like so many politicians, he
also made some very close friends behind closed—and
locked—doors. But a badge and a billionaire husband can get
you into places others can’t go, and Eve intends to shine
some light on the dirty deals and dark motives behind the
disappearance of a powerful man, the family discord over a
multimillion-dollar piece of real estate . . . and a new
case that no one saw coming.
