Book Review: Strangers in Death by J.D. Robb

I received it fast Good price plus free shipping is great!
Book Review: Suspense early on...
Summary: 5 Stars
Loved how the case was built from early on... ED went with gut feel on who the killer was, and with all the suspense of building the case, this was a real page turner. Read it within 2 days....Book Review: Why does every mystery series do this? (Possible Spoiler)
Summary: 1 Stars
Two books prior in this series, I was becoming concerned that Ms. Robb was running out of things to say about her "...in Death" series. This book pretty much clinched that. I understand the urge authors and other creative media people have to pay homage to the classics that inspired them, but there's a very fine line between "homage" and "Oh, crap! I have a deadline! What will essentially write itself?"
For the first time, Eve disgusted me. If she'd been a flesh-and-blood person and said some of those thoughts out loud, I would've punched her and taken the 'assaulting an officer' charge. She's been overdue for a massive ego deflation for a few books now, but of course, that's not going to happen.
There's only one way to sum up this book without giving away *everything*: Hitchcock did it better the first time. In addition, this book seems to have come out when just about 3/4 of every procedural show was using the *exact same plot*. Even the *title* gives it away to anyone who's read a few mysteries or watched classic films. Very disappointed. She can do so much better than this.
Book Review: Yet another great addition to the series...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is another great addition to the series. Although we know who the suspect is early on, the mystery is in how Eve is going to prove it. The plot is interesting and fast-paced, and the interaction between Eve, Roarke, and the rest of the crew is always wonderfully done (one of the author's strengths is characterization and dialogue). Although the relationship between Eve and Roarke wasn't the main focus in this book, it was still an integral part of the story - the author definitely keeps the spark going between these two! Very well done. Looking forward to the next one.
