"Can Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her team stop the deadly sniper duo?"

Fresh Fiction Review

Apprentice in Death
J.D. Robb

Reviewed by Debbie Wiley
Posted September 6, 2016

Romance Suspense | Suspense

The apprentice and the mentor selected the targets. Shots were fired and now Lieutenant Eve Dallas is investigating a multiple murder at the ice skating rink in Central Park. Eve soon realizes she is dealing with a deadly but talented sniper. Unfortunately, Eve doesn't believe the sniper is done yet, especially not when she realizes she's dealing with two individuals, one much younger than the other. Eve, Roarke, and her team will have to utilize every resource available to them if they are to stop the snipers from continuing their deadly plan. APPRENTICE IN DEATH is J.D. Robb's forty-third book in the In Death series but don't let the number of books in the series intimidate you. Feel free to jump in at any point as each mystery stands on its own. However, I suspect you'll fall in love with the characters and want to devour the entire series, just as I have. APPRENTICE IN DEATH is a hard-hitting mystery but at its core is a set of characters we've come to know and love. I love how each new In Death book only deepens the relationship between Eve and Roarke as theirs is a romance that never grows stale. We continue to see Eve's character evolve as she is learning how to appreciate the love around her. There is one scene, and I won't reveal spoilers but you'll know it when you read it, that left me in tears as Eve's world is directly impacted by her current investigation. The tender moments in between the harsh realities are all the more beautiful because they show the light in the darkness. Each and every J.D. Robb book is a true treasure, like visiting with old friends as you'll want to hear their stories unfold. Every time I think J.D. Robb has outdone herself with a book, the next book in the In Death series proves me wrong. APPRENTICE IS DEATH is yet another gem in the series, one I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to see what would happen next. Thank you, J.D. Robb, for another phenomenal In Death book!

SUMMARY

Lieutenant Eve Dallas returns in a fast-paced new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author J. D. Robb. Nature versus nurture... The shots came quickly, silently, and with deadly accuracy. Within seconds, three people were dead at Central Park's ice skating rink. The victims: a talented young skater, a doctor, and a teacher. As random as random can be. Eve Dallas has seen a lot of killers during her time with the NYPSD, but never one like this. After reviewing security videos, it becomes clear that the victims were killed by a sniper firing a tactical laser rifle, who could have been miles away when the trigger was pulled. And though the locations where the shooter could have set up seem endless, the list of people with that particular skill set is finite: police, military, professional killer. Eve's husband, Roarke, has unlimited resources—and genius—at his disposal. And when his computer program leads Eve to the location of the sniper, she learns a shocking fact: There were two—one older, one younger. Someone is being trained by an expert in the science of killing, and they have an agenda. Central Park was just a warm-up. And as another sniper attack shakes the city to its core, Eve realizes that though we're all shaped by the people around us, there are those who are just born evil...
