Conducting a top secret investigation into the death of a fellow police officer has Lieutenant Eve Dallas treading on dangerous ground. She must put professional ethics before personal loyalties. But when a dead body is placed outside her home, Eve takes the warnning personally. With her husband, Roarke, watching her every move, Eve is drawn into the most dangerous case of her career. Every step she takes makes her question her own beliefs of right and wrong--and brings her closer to a confrontation with humanity's most seductive form of evil...
Review:
Secrets, Witches and Cops...Oh my! In this fifth installment of the In Death series, Eve investigates the death of a fellow cop and good friend of her mentor, Feeney. She is torn between loyalty to Feeney and duty to the NYPSD. She also continues to butt heads with her aide Peabody but Peabody holds her own and continues to learn for Eve, sometimes the hard way.
When the investigation leads Eve to the good and dark side of witch craft, Roarke gets very nervous. He sticks by pretty close during the investigation, and when one of the bodies is left right outside their home, Eve feels like this case is crossing the line and bringing too much death close to home.
This one was a little spooky. Robb handles the witch craft element well. The sparks continue to fly between Eve and Roarke and its touching to see how much Feeney means to Eve. When things go bad between them, Roarke must pick up the pieces and its very hard to see such a strong woman fall apart, both for him and the reader. The tension between Peabody and Eve is high in this book. Eve is pretty hard on her, but Peabody holds up well.
Another great addition to a great series, read on Vengeance In Death is next.
