BONDED IN DEATH by J.D. ROBB
Book 60……. is an awe-inspiring number of books in a series. And for me, I have read every single one in this series and own a copy of many of them as well.
This case was interesting as we get to see more of Summerset’s past and history along with The Twelve, a secretive organization he was with during his Urban Wars years. The dead in relation was a member of The Twelve who Summerset knew.
As this case is more personal for Eve, there were more intersecting moments between her and Roarke…including their banter when defusing a bomb - the panic that Eve felt while Roarke was doing so was too funny! One of the biggest reasons I keep coming back to the series is the found family that Eve and Roarke build around them, and this book had elements of it when Eve had to pull in her crew of cops, her partner, Peabody, to help bring the killer to justice.
The strong character depth and riveting mystery action kept me on my toes. The author also interjected some of the killer’s perspectives, which made it more interesting as you saw what Eve did to combat or stay one step ahead of the killer. Along with some clever plot points, the psychological elements kept it suspenseful!
This one was a more emotional read for me. There were some sweet and sad moments, and humor interjected to keep it from being too serious. In my opinion, J.D. Robb can do no wrong. This series gets better and better.
