It’s always an exciting time with J.D. Robb released a new book and FORGOTTEN IN DEATH marks the fifty-third installment in this series. As always, Eve is ready for action when another murder happens. This time, two bodies are involved, however, the timing and details are very different. Robb excels at creating mysteries that haven’t been done before and this one is a very good example of that. While some may argue that the killer is easy to figure out, my main joy in reading this series is learning the why. Of course, finding out who killed the victims is important. However, the reasoning behind it all is what makes this series stand out to me. I think it’s also the reason why Robb can write so many different books in this series and still keep it fresh. It’s not about only creating intriguing characters, but the motives and methods all play a part in the uniqueness of this series.
That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Eve’s adventures have become quite comforting for me. I find myself always looking forward to these books and never being disappointed in them. They stay true to the original idea, but Robb always reinvents herself in so many fun and exciting ways. It’s always been a joy to revisit this series time and time again. If you haven’t read this series, then you are definitely missing out! FORGOTTEN IN DEATH is definitely be a memorable experience once you’ve read it!
In the latest novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, homicide detective Eve Dallas sifts through the wreckage of the past to find a killer.
The body was left in a dumpster like so much trash, the victim a woman of no fixed address, known for offering paper flowers in return for spare change—and for keeping the cops informed of any infractions she witnessed on the street. But the notebook where she scribbled her intel on litterers and other such offenders is nowhere to be found.
Then Eve is summoned away to a nearby building site to view more remains—in this case decades old, adorned with gold jewelry and fine clothing—unearthed by recent construction work. She isn’t happy when she realizes that the scene of the crime belongs to her husband, Roarke—not that it should surprise her, since the Irish billionaire owns a good chunk of New York. Now Eve must enter a complex world of real estate development, family history, shady deals, and shocking secrets to find justice for two women whose lives were thrown away…
