Editorial Review: Product Description: Ancient church rituals meet cutting- edge crime solving in the latest novel in the #1 New York Times–bestselling series that’s “Law & Order: SVU—in the future” (Entertainment Weekly). In the year 2060, sophisticated investigative tools can help catch a killer. But there are some questions even the most advanced technologies cannot answer. Ridley Pearson has praised J. D. Robb’s suspense as “taut” and “nerve-jangling.” Her latest thriller sets a new standard for suspense, as the priest at a Catholic funeral mass brings the chalice to his lips—and falls over dead. When Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas confirms that the consecrated wine contained potassium cyanide, she’s determined to solve the murder of Father Miguel Flores, despite her discomfort with her surroundings. It’s not the bodegas and pawnshops of East Harlem that bother her, though the neighborhood is a long way from the stone mansion she shares with her billionaire husband, Roarke. It’s all that holiness flying around at St. Christobal’s that makes her uneasy. A search of the victim’s sparsely furnished room reveals little— except for a carefully hidden religious medal with a mysterious inscription, and a couple of underlined Bible passages. The autopsy reveals more: faint scars of knife wounds, a removed tattoo—and evidence of plastic surgery, suggesting that “Father Flores” may not have been the man his parishioners had thought. Now, as Eve pieces together clues that hint at gang connections and a deeply personal act of revenge, she believes she’s making progress on the case. Until a second murder—in front of an even larger crowd of worshippers—knocks the whole investigation sideways. And Eve is left to figure out who committed these unholy acts—and why. Average Rating:
 Rating: - A thrill a minuteEve Dallas mid 21st century NY cop and her multi-billionarie husband Roarke are on the case of a murdered Catholic Priest where they immediately have more questions than answers another murdered religious icon and thrills that don't stop until you read the last line. If you follow the series this is the 27th in the series where you'll get to catch up on all your favorite supporting characters and find out what they're up to now. If you prefer stand a-lones this one stands all by it's ... Read More Rating:  - A weak entry in the "In Death" seriesLike other reviewers have stated, parts of this novel seemed phoned in. Where is our edgy Eve, our cagey Rourke, our sassy Peabody?? It felt like the characters were just going through the motions. I was wondering where Mavis was when she suddenly popped in! No repartee with Summerset? And Robb has annoying habit of popping in information that helps solve the case. I've noticed that in every one of her books, where suddenly, she'll make a lightening leap of logic that enables her to solve the ... Read More Rating:  - Salvation in DeathSupurb! I think this is the best of the entire series (and I have every one). Just a great murder mystery. They always have me from the beginning but this one I really couldn't put down. I was beginning to wonder if this series hadn't just about run its course but if they continue like this one I'm in for the duration. The characters are all there and keeping with their assorted chacteristics, as a matter of a fact each book adds more. It makes for a better rounded Eve. ... Read More Rating: - not quite what i expect but still a good readThis book was not qutie what I have come to expect of an In Death book, however it was not the greatest disappointment in a new book in a series I've read this year. I think this one was probably so mellow because of what probably happens in the next book. You know we have the big bacholorette/wedding shower, the wedding of charles and louise. I don't doubt that some time down the road we will see roarke and eve having a child--coolest if they actually have to deal with the pregnancy but some how I ... Read More Rating: - Phoned In - In Death Novel Normally I read Robb's novels in a day or so because I *have* to know what happens to the characters and then I'll go back, reread, and savor those little details and plot points that make the "In Death series" pop. Not this time. It took me more than a week to finish this book and the only way I got through it was to treat it like a required reading assignment for school. As others have mentioned, there is no character development in this book and the mystery is subpar. ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
