State of Oklahoma after he was caught trying to steal
money for an engagement ring. Now back together, they will
never be separated again. Ella-Loo has plans and those
plans lead them to New York and Lieutenant Eve Dallas'
territory. They may be a couple DEVOTED IN DEATH, but
Dallas isn't having any of that in her jurisdiction.
As they cut a path across the country they accidentally
find a lifestyle that brings them the excitement and
devotion they believe they deserve. In the act of stealing
another car they kill the owner and Ella-Loo find the
experience brings out a wild desire for Darryl - a desire
to do it again.
When Dallas examines a victim with extensive injuries in a
downtown alley, she almost misses a clue. Carved into the
skin is a heart with an E and D inside. The lieutenant, her
bullpen and her billionaire husband by her side, race to
catch the killer before another victim is taken.
DEVOTED IN DEATH is another intense page turner by Nora
Roberts' alter ego J.D. Robb. In this In Death series, Ms. Robb tends
to write where we follow along and try to solve the mystery,
or we already know and Dallas takes us through her process
of solving the case. This is the latter. While we watch how it all
unfolds, we are also given deeper insight into the goings on
of the bullpen and the varied personalities that stand by
and behind Lieutenant Eve Dallas. Despite the gravity of
the situation, there are also a number of light moments,
including Jenkinson's obsession with his silly ties and a
trip to the wilds for Carmichael and Santiago. Added to the
mix is a peek at an irritated Roarke who gets snappy at Eve,
who handles him very well, and a change in the life of
Trueheart with Baxter becoming a basket case.
As always Ms.
Robb offers her readers, devoted or new, an astonishing
read with remarkable characters with hits of humor and
touches of real life that will have you savoring this one
as well as anticipating her next In Death book.
