Eve and Roarke at their best!

Do you believe in the saying, "An eye for an eye?" Well, some one in Manhattan does, and they are killing for that belief in vengeance. Eve and Peabody investigate a series of brutal homicides and discover that they are all linked to Roarke's past. Eve is torn between duty and family, because Summerset (Roarke's butler, and oldest friend) is the primary suspect.
Feeny is away on vacation and Eve is forced to bring in a young and some what annoying e-detective named McNab. The chemistry between McNab and Peabody is quite amusing. They fight like cats and dogs, but underneath is a brewing sexual tension. The addition of McNab to Eve's team is refreshing. It is fun to have a new face that shakes everyone up.
As the team investigates these slayings, Roarke is brought face to face with a past that he has tried to bury. This book really expands on the characters of Roarke and Summerset. Those of you reading the series know that Eve and Summerset are like oil and water, and now they have to put their trust in each other so they can work together to find the real killer. The suspense is back and better than ever. This book really heats up, so open it up and hang on!

disappointing

I'm a huge fan of Eve and Roarke's, but I couldn't get past the fact that Roarke commited the same hideous crimes as the villians in the story. This was very disappointing and disturbing to me. Albeit it was done for vengeance, it was still murder. For someone who purports to be a Catholic, murder should not have been an option. It would have been more plausible and acceptable for Roarke to have ruined them financially.

In Death series returns with a vengeance

Vengeance in Death is the sixth and, so far, best book in the In Death series by J.D. Robb. The In Death series stars Detective Lt. Eve Dallas of the NYPSD and her roguishly handsome and ridiculously rich billionaire husband and soul mate Roarke.

The events of the previous book in the series, Ceremony in Death, is still fresh on the minds of Eve and Roarke and those around them. Eve has insisted that her mentor, Capt. Feeney take his family to one of Roarke's many island paradise estates and unwind. Though things are quiet at first, they don't stay that way for long as killings once again fall into Eve's lap. These killings seem to have a ritualistic, or at least a purpose to them and soon she finds out why they're being committed. Once again her husband, Roarke, becomes involved in this new case whether she likes it or not.

The killings are people from Roarke's past and who meant something to him in one way or another. I thought this installment was the best so far due to the handling of how to bring up info about Roarke's mysterious past without it being said through long-winded dialogue. Robb just took said past history added a healthy dose of Summerset's own recollections and then mixed it all into the current murder case Eve was investigating and you got yourself one great story. The fact that Roarke's childhood was as screwed up as Eve's though without the incestuous rape and pimping shows that he and Eve have alot more in common.

Vengeance in Death just continues to make J.D. Robb's In Death series a must read for fance of fun escapism with a balanced diet of romance, mystery, and humor. It was also great to know abit more of Roarke's and Summerset's past. I'm looking forward to the next book.

Awesome work by Robb

This is by far my favorite of the In Death series thus far. The plot is thrilling and well written full of the twists I have come to expect in these books. The great thing about this book is that I think it is vital to Roarke and Eve's relationship. I love that this series gives the reader a veiw of couples after they admit to being in love, as many of Robert's regular books don't. Up until this book their love was very hot and passionate, but they never really fought. This book puts a lot of obstacles in their paths and they have to work them out as a couple and learn that they have to except each other's differences. Also wonderful is the tirelessly stodgy Summersett whose relationship with Eve is also examined in this book. Why is Summersett so horrid to Eve? Read this book and find out. A fascinating, page-turner. I recommend reading these books in order though. My only question, how long until Eve is pregnant?

Outstanding audio performance of a great story

Susan Ericksen's narration of the In Death series is outstanding and really makes the characters come alive. She reads the transcript with just the right emphasis on words and phrases. Eve, Peabody, Somerset, and Rourke are beautifully portrayed. I preorder all these tapes because I know the reading will be excellent.
