Purchase options and add-ons

Eve Dallas has a grisly double homicide to solve when two young lovers-both employees of the same prestigious accounting firm-are brutally killed on the same night. It doesn't leave Eve a lot of leftover time to put together a baby shower for her buddy Mavis, but that's supposedly what friends are for.

Now Mavis needs another favor. Tandy Willowby, one of the moms-to-be in Mavis's birthing class, didn't show up for the shower. A recent emigrant from London, Tandy has few friends in New York, and no family-and she was really looking forward to the party. And when Eve enters Tandy's apartment and finds a gift for Mavis's shower wrapped and ready on the table-and a packed bag for the hospital still on the floor next to it-tingling runs up and down her spine.

Normally, such a case would be turned over to Missing Persons. But Mavis wants no one else on the job but Eve-and Eve can't say no. She'll have to track Tandy down while simultaneously unearthing the deals and double-crosses hidden in the files of some of the city's richest and most secretive citizens, in a race against this particularly vicious killer. Luckily, her multimillionaire husband Roarke's expertise comes in handy with the number crunching. But as he mines the crucial data that will break the case wide open, Eve faces an all too real danger in the world of flesh and blood.

Product description

From Publishers Weekly

Set in New York City in 2060, bestseller Roberts's latest police thriller under her Robb pseudonym in her Lt. Eve Dallas series (Naked in Death, etc.) offers her usual engaging characters. Dallas's investigation of the brutal murders of Natalie Copperfield, a 26-year-old accountant, and Copperfield's boyfriend becomes entangled with the search for Tandy Willowby, a pregnant friend who mysteriously vanishes shortly before her due date. Dallas discovers that Copperfield had stumbled on some white-collar fraud at her high-profile accounting firm, while Willowby's disappearance may be part of a series of abductions. Predictably, the two cases converge, and the mystery's solution becomes obvious. Newcomers, who may be dismayed at how little things will have changed in more than 50 years, would do better to start with earlier books in this near-future suspense series. (Nov.)

I'm hooked on the .... in Death books. They are easy to read and captivating, I hope the world will never come to the state it's described in 2059/60. J.D.Robb cannot write them fast enough for me.

Such a great story. Fantastic ending.
And her hopes she never has to arrest them. Haha!
In giving my reviews, I try so hard not to give anything away. And right now this is so good, everything I want to say would give something away. So all I can do is say that this was another great novel in the Eve Dallas and Roarke saga.

5.0 out of 5 stars In Death book 23
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 10, 2019

I don't think we've ever seen Eve quite so out of her depth before but trying to organise Mavis' baby shower taker her completely out of her comfort zone. Especially when she has to go into a baby store looking for a present! One of the reasons I love this series so much is that there is a lot of humour mixed in amongst the death and murder. The friendship between Eve and Mavis has always been fab but it's been even better since Mavis asked Eve and Roarke to be her birthing coaches. The two are absolutely terrified by the prospect but Eve will never let her friend down no matter how uncomfortable it makes her.

This story sees Eve take on a missing person's case when Mavis' friend Tandy goes missing just days before she's due to give birth. Eve doesn't usually get involved unless someone is already dead but now she has the chance to try and stop anything happening to Tandy if she can only figure out why she was taken.

I always enjoy the murder mystery side of J.D. Robb's plots but really the star of this book was Mavis. The scenes with the baby shower, the birthing classes and finally the main event and her new arrival were all just perfect with the exact right amount of humour and heart. Eve and Roarke had me in stitches laughing at their utter panic as Mavis went into labour but it ended with lots of warm and fuzzy feelings. I love this series so much and I'm so ready to dive into the next book!

Wie immer ist auch diese Buch mal wieder gelungen.
Es vereint, Krimi, Spannung, ein bisschen Action und viele wunderbare Einsichten in die zwischenmenschlichen Verflechtungen der Charaktere.
Wenn sie dieses Reihe kennen, kaufen, lesen und sich daran freuen.
