.When a monster named Isaac McQueen-taken down by Eve back in her uniform days-escapes from Rikers, he has two things in mind. One is to pick up where he left off, abducting young victims and leaving them scarred in both mind and body. The other is to get revenge on the woman who stopped him all those years ago. (Amazon)
Yes! The thirty-third full length novel in the In Death series is a stellar one! I actually enjoyed reading about the process that Eve went through in solving this crime, lately I have found that I tend to skim these sections of the books, but I was fully absorbed in this book and stayed up longer that I should have to read just one more chapter each night. It seemed a little weird at first without Eve's cast of characters surrounding her and helping. But after a while everything was fine. I also appreciated a story without any major bumps in the relationship between Eve and Roarke. I know that J.D. Robb wants to make their relationship seem realistic, but it is nice to see them together without some internal and/or external friction causing tension.
I do have one little nitpick. At times Eve uses short form when talking (Robb probably does this to make her sound more authentic I'm sure), but one short form always, always made me stop and giggle. Using the context of what Eve was saying or asking, I'm pretty sure the word was analysis, but the short form used in the book was anal, and yes my (apparently 12 year old boy's) mind went there each and every time it was used. I honestly can't remember if this as been used in previous books, but one would think that I would remember seeing how often I would stop, giggle, read the sentence over again and giggle again. Even so, this book is a perfect example as to why I enjoy reading a J.D. Robb book. Even though we knew who the killer was, you are kept at the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next.
