Witness In Death ~ B+
In Witness In Death a murder takes live on stage at a play Eve and Roarke are attending. The case of the murder is a little tricky for Eve because the victim wasn't to most well liked of people. We got to see a little more of Eve's past and we also see her more sensitive side. There is some more with Peabody and Mcnab, we also see more of Officer Trueheart. I really liked the ending and final resolution of the case.
Judgment In Death ~ B+
This One begins with the murder of an off duty policeman at a High Class strip club that Roarke owns. The investigation leads Eve to suspecting dirty cops. We got a lot of face time with almost all the major characters in the "In Death" universe. This one was really good and the culprit was a little surprising and their was a good scene near the end .
Betrayal In Death ~ C+
Eve has to solve a series of murders that are all committed by a contract killer whose been in business for 25 years. The first case in the book that lands on Eve radar is maid that is murdered at one of the hotels that Roarke owns, the murder happens while they are attending an event at the hotel. The murders are also connected to Roarke someone has hired the hit man to advert Eve and Roarke attention. I didn't like this one as much has some of the others it was just OK to me.
"Interlude In Death" B+
This is a short story that begins on Roarke's Olympia Resort where Eve and friends are attending a police convention, one of the respected former policeman basically tells Eve that the only criminal he didn't get was her husband Eve and her wants her help getting him. But before Eve can do anything a murder is committed with the evidence pointing to Roarke or one of his employees. For a short story this one was pretty good.
Seduction In Death ~ A+
In this book two killers are killing victims who they met online with a lethal combination of illegal drugs. This book is a little different than the others because you know who the killers are right from the start and are given parts to read from their POV. We have a a lot of interactions with many series regulars plus we get the first meeting of Charles and Louise who instantly fall for each other, and we also get some resolution of Peabody and McNab. I really liked this one it is one of my favorites in this crop of books.
Reunion In Death ~ B+
In this one a wealthy well liked man is poisoned at his "surprise" party while doing the toast. The killer is a criminal from Eve's past who was recently released from prison. We also get to meet Peabody's parents Sam and Phoebe who are two very interesting people. I liked that we new who the killer was right from the beginning again.
Purity In Death ~ A+
This one was probably one of the most out there of all the "In Death" books I have read so far the victims are being killed by a computer virus that can be transmitted to humans. The book starts with a man who just goes insane and starts beating his neighbors, Officer Trueheart happens to be in the area and responds to a woman's call for help where he ends up killing the man. At this point Eve and company have no clue what happened so she gives the computer to EDD where the officer who is studying it goes insane and ends up hurting Mcnab and taking Feeney hostage. At this point the have figured out the problem is connected the computer but don't know much else. The book was really good I liked the whole thing I could feel the emotions coming off the pages and it pulled me right into the story.
Portrait In Death ~ B+
A college student is murder and thrown into a recycle bin but prior to that the killer sends pictures to channel 75 reporter Nadine Furst. In another unrelated to the case Roarke learns some stuff about his past that he didn't know. This one goes in all kinds of different directions it has a good case, some problems for Eve and Roarke, and many more developments.
