Book Reviews of Judgment in Death
Book Review: Characters from the past spice things up!
Summary: 5 Stars
Those that have been following this series probably noticed that with each book, we are getting cases that involve Eve's husband, Roarke, more and more. In this installment a cop, Taj, is murdered while working undercover in a strip club owned by no other than the billionaire. The murder was committed in a vicious manner, with the killer using a baseball bat to beat the victim to a pulp. When they summon Eve Dallas to the scene she becomes the primary investigator and has to face a myriad of delicate issues surrounding the case. Besides the fact that her husband is involved as the owner of the place serving as murder scene, she has to play internal politics with two policemen that work in the same division with the victim and who want her off the case.
On another front, Eve has to deal with an old lover who now works for Internal Affairs and who wants her to close the case without making any fuss. Of course, this does not bode well with our detective who instead of stopping the investigation intensifies her efforts for getting at the truth. The fact that this old acquaintance is still in love with Eve does not simplify things in the least. The technique used by Robb of introducing elements from the main character's past gives in my opinion a very special charm to the series. In this case, there is another character that has is connected to Roarke's past and who has a bone to grind with the billionaire. Ricker is a dangerous man that is in trouble with the law after a drug bust jeopardized his freedom and who had dealings with Roarke before Eve's husband decided to "clean up". Eve's investigation leads her to Ricker, and right from the moment they lay eyes on each other these two characters clash and we know we are in for an intense battle between them.
Nora Roberts, writing as Robb, comes out on the top once more with a dazzling novel set up in the year 2059, where cars fly, guns are banned, real coffee is a luxury and drones take care of most menial tasks. This time the author delivers a sophisticated plot with a very interesting character development and non stop action. But it does not stop there, since she is also doing a great job in developing secondary characters, like Eve's aide, Peabody, who is being seduced by McNabb a techno whiz that works for the department. They have been having a relationship for some time, and McNabb with the expert advice of Roarke wants to take it to the next level. Lately it seems to me that Robb can do no wrong, so I just have one thing to say: please keep them coming!
