Kindred in Death by J. D. Robb (2009, Hardcover)

Kindred in Death has Eve Dallas and her husband, Roarke working to solve yet another murder in 2060 New York City. Serious suspects are family - kin - to the victim, then one suspect becomes another victim. This whodunnit has all the fast pace and suspense we have come to expect from a J.D. Robb murder mystery.

BACK OF BOOK SAYS:

When the newly promoted captain of the NYPSD AND HIS WIFE return a day early from their vacation, they are looking forward to spending time with their bright and vivacious 16 year old daughter who stayed behind.
not even their worst nightmares could prepare them for the crime scene that awaits them isntead. deena has been brutally murdered in her bedroom and her body shows signs of trauma that horrify even the toughest of cops including our own lt. eve dallas who is specifically requested by the captain to investigate.

while i really enjoy the eve dallas books i found this one a little rushed.
i found myself wanting more roarke time, even though he did get alot of time, i also wanted more peabody/mcnabb/feeney and mavis and trina interaction.
More louise and charles time too.

i'm sorry but i really enjoy those interactions and they weren't there, this book was too short for me.. the mystery was good, but i want more, i'm greedy....... and definately more wedding info at the end.

I have the entire collection of the in Death series. So this just added to my collection. This series is about a futuristic cop Lt. Eve Dallas and her billionaire husband, Roarke and is set in the years 2059 and 2060. It deals with her cases, his helping her with her cases and their private time together. The writing and the characters are so believable that you just get caught up in every thing that happens. Once you start reading it's very difficult to put the book down.

I bought this book as soon as it became available and impatiently counted the days until it arrived. I LOVE Nora Roberts' writing and the JD Robb series is no exception. If you've read other titles in this series I highly recommend this one. If you've never read any of the JD Robb books, I would not recommend starting with this book. I would start with the first one. Like any good series, and especially in a series like this which takes place in the future, there is a lot of background information that is presented in previous books and they all make more sense if you read them in order. All in all, an excellent book.

Another great book by JD Robb (Nora Roberts) with Eve Dallas and Roarke. This series will keep you on the edge of your seat. I have started reading this series from the beginning, but the way JD Robb writes this in not necessary.
