Book Reviews of Reunion in Death
Book Review: "She'd come back for Dallas. To wage war"
Summary: 5 Stars
There is one thing that is true about J. D. Robb... she has a very special ability to engage the reader's attention. In this case, the novel starts with a bang, when we find out that Walter Pettibone has only a few hours left to live; after that we are hooked. Walter has a perfect life: he is celebrating his sixtieth birthday, is in good shape, and has a young wife, a great family and a successful business. He knows his wife is planning a surprise party, but he is not aware that he will be poisoned when making the toast.
Eve Dallas is back in town after a "forced" two-week holiday involving Mexico and a private island. She was taking some time off after a tough and personally draining case. She is ready for some action, but things are very quiet upon her return. That is of course until she becomes the primary in the murder of Walter Pettibone. Before this happens Eve and her aide Peabody start investigating a cold case concerning the murder of a woman who was believed to be killed by her mysterious lover. Eve is ready to push Peabody in her career, so she decides to put her in charge of the cold case. Peabody is one of the most fascinating characters in this series, and in this installment she is very close to center stage, since not only she has to deal with her first case, but also with her evolving relationship with McNabb and with a surprise visit by her parents.
One of the high points of this series is how the author keeps developing the personal stories of the main characters. Eve soon finds out that the killer is an antagonist from her past, Julianna Dunne, who Eve put in jail eight years ago. Julianna was a black widow and now she is coming after Eve and her husband Roarke. The investigation will take the Lieutenant to Dallas where we will witness some shocking scenes related to Eve's past when she visits the hotel in which she ended her relationship with her abusive father.
I cannot praise this series high enough, so I just have to say that you should read it and judge for yourself. One word of advice: even though each book stands on its own, the fact that the personal stories play such an important role in the attractiveness of the series, leads me to recommend you to read the books in order.
