from #1 New York Times bestselling author J. D. Robb.
Nature versus nurture…
The shots came quickly, silently, and with deadly accuracy. Within seconds,
three people were dead at Central Park’s ice skating rink. The victims: a
talented young skater, a doctor, and a teacher. As random as random can be.
Eve Dallas has seen a lot of killers during her time with the NYPSD, but never
one like this. After reviewing security videos, it becomes clear that the
victims were killed by a sniper firing a tactical laser rifle, who could have
been miles away when the trigger was pulled. And though the locations where the
shooter could have set up seem endless, the list of people with that particular
skill set is finite: police, military, professional killer.
Eve’s husband, Roarke, has unlimited resources—and genius—at his disposal. And
when his computer program leads Eve to the location of the sniper, she learns a
shocking fact: There were two—one older, one younger. Someone is being trained
by an expert in the science of killing, and they have an agenda. Central Park
was just a warm-up. And as another sniper attack shakes the city to its core,
Eve realizes that though we’re all shaped by the people around us, there are
those who are just born evil…

My Review:
years ago, I’ve been totally hooked to the In Death series. I love crime novels
with a bit of romance and this series is a great example of that. So when I
received this new book in the series I was super excited to start reading.
really enjoyed reading about Lieutenant Eve Dallas, and her husband Roarke. In
this book we had a LDSK, a long distance serial killer, and the killer is
working fast. Before long there are several people killed, and Eve realizes the
killer must be a professional. Together with Roarke, and her partner Detective
Peabody, Eve soon is in a race against the clock.
Reading a little from the killer’s point of view was definitely very interesting
and it gave something extra to this book. The story still kept it’s mystery,
which is something I’m always a little scared of missing when I read something
from the killers point of view. But J.D. Robb definitely did a great job with
this.
good as the previous ones. Somehow I just couldn’t get into the story, and I
found the pace a little too slow and the story a little too predictable. There
are still some great Eve and Roarke scenes, but I missed the fun conversations
between Eve and Peabody. Something I really love in the previous books.
was the way we soon find out who the killer is. We don’t have all the details
of course, but we do know a lot early on. I didn’t really like that. But
thankfully J.D. Robb is always capable of keeping you interested till the end.
look forward to the next one in the In Death series.
