Twice a year, J.D. Robb (really Nora Roberts writing
under a pen name) releases a new book in her In Death
series. STOLEN IN DEATH is the 62nd book featuring Homicide
Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her gazillionaire husband, Roarke.
Each book begins with a murder and follows Eve as she
locates and apprehends the perpetrator along with her
partner Peabody, the bullpen of detectives, electronic and
forensic science experts, and former thief now civilian
consultant, Roarke.
I guess you could read any of the books as a standalone,
futuristic police mystery, but you would miss the amazing
character development and backstories that developed through
the thirty years that the series has been running.
While attending a black- tie gala, Dallas is alerted to
the murder of a prominent businessman. Someone bashed Nathan
Barrister in the head during a home burglary, leaving a
grieving family, a multibillion-dollar delivery company, and
a secret vault full of stolen jewels and art. Missing from
the vault is a set of emerald and diamond jewelry stolen
from the Tate Gallery in London decades ago. Β Links
emerge to Roarkeβs past, including the re-emergence of
an old lover (last seen in the series about forty books
ago). Eve uses her experience and team of detectives to
solve the case and bring all the guilty to justice.
Β Fabulous story with all the good twists, turns,
emotions, and snark you expect from the series. If I could
only read one series ever again, this would be it. Now the
six-month wait for the next book begins. Sigh.
Eve Dallas stumbles into a mind-boggling case after a controversial billionaire is found murdered while surrounded by priceless art. But as Eve pieces together the scene, a dark secret comes to light in J.D. Robb's latest thriller.
