Indulgence in Death by J.D. Robb
5.0
Indulgence in Death
4.5 Stars
Eve and her team investigate a series of murders in the which the victims are apparently chosen at random and killed using bizarre weapons à la the board game Clue.
This installment opens with Eve and Roarke visiting family in Ireland, and Eve literally stumbling into a murder investigation. While this sequence is entertaining (Eve's reactions to nature are priceless), it's contribution to the overall storyline is obscure. That said, the episode does add a great deal to Eve and Roarke's character development both as individuals and as a couple.
Although the explanations are similar to those in Seduction in Death, the New York case is, nevertheless, intense and exciting. The story had me turning pages late into the night as Eve figures out who is behind the crime, but struggles to find sufficient evidence to convict.
In sum, Robb delivers another excellent book in the In Death series, which must certainly be one of the longest in publication history.
