Visions in Death (In Death)
Date undefinedThis is the 19th in the series, and not really one of my favorites. But hey--it's a long-running series. Some stories are bound to be better than others.
There's yet another serial killer on the loose in mid-21st-century NYC. And yet again, the victims' eyes are removed. Eve & co. are getting nowhere, when a psychic shows up and reluctantly offers her help, saying she'd dreamed about the murders. Eve is just as reluctant to accept that help, preferring solid police work to woo-woo stuff.
Of course there are some wonderful moments in the ongoing series story--including a dinner party given by Charles & Louise and including Eve & Roarke and Peabody & McNab. And those moments are why even though the mystery in this book isn't one of my favorites, it's still a must-read.
It's just that I'd be perfectly happy if I never read another serial killer book again. Ever. I think that's probably why I went from reading lots and lots of romantic suspense to reading hardly any--I overdosed on those darn serial killers. I guess I wouldn't mind if a serial killer were just a little different for a change. But it seems that 99% of them are killing their mothers. I blame Hitchcock.
The end did redeem the story quite a lot, but for me, it was too little, too late. I was, I hate to say, bored with the story by the time the twist came, so I wasn't as excited by it as I might otherwise have been. Whether the fault is with the story itself or simply with my disenchantment with serial killer tales I have no idea.

Date undefinedHaving only read a few of this series, I was interested to delve further. The book was somewhat predictable until the end - don't want to give a spoiler.

Date undefinedI love this series of books by J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts). They get my attention on the first page and hold it till the end. I have read 9 of the 24 titles and will read them all !!!
