Summary

When the newly promoted captain of the NYPSD and his wife return a day early from their vacation, they are looking forward to spending time with their bright and vivacious sixteen-year-old daughter, who stayed behind. Not even their worst nightmares could prepare them for the crime scene that awaits them instead. Deena has been brutally murdered in her bedroom, and her body shows signs of trauma that horrify even the toughest of cops, including our own Lieutenant Eve Dallas, who is specifically requested by the captain to investigate. When the evidence starts to pile up, Dallas and her team think they are about to arrest their perpetrator; little do they know that someone has gone to great lengths to tease and taunt them by using a variety of identities. Overconfidence can lead to careless mistakes. But for Dallas, one mistake might be all she needs to serve justice.

Publisher's Weekly Review

New York City law officers have more technological weapons at their disposal in bestseller Robb's snappy near-future series, but so do criminals, including the sadistic rapist killer who strikes down Deena MacMasters, the 16-year-old daughter of police captain Jonah MacMasters, in the 30th full-length novel to feature homicide detective Lt. Eve Dallas (after Promises in Death). MacMasters specifically asks that Dallas, who has a knack for clever insights and deductions, lead the investigation into his daughter's murder. An impressive team of professionals-augmented by Dallas's husband, Roarke, and his young protege, Jaime Lingstrom-begins the arduous task of collecting and analyzing data. Clues suggest Deena may not be the only victim targeted by her killer and increase the pressure on Dallas and her cohorts. Robb (aka Nora Roberts) combines sex, horrific crime, forensics and technological wizardry for another winner sure to please her many fans. (Nov.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

Booklist Review

For NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas, there is no such thing as a holiday from work. Eve had just settled into a quiet Peace Day at home with her husband, sexy Irish billionaire Roarke, when the call comes in. When NYSPD Captain MacMasters and his wife arrive home early from a vacation and find their daughter viciously murdered, the first thing MacMasters does is request that Eve head up the investigation. Eve and her team are determined to quickly and successfully close the case, but despite a number of potential leads, the murderer always seems to be one step ahead. All it takes, though, is one misstep for Eve to put an end to the killer's criminal career forever. With its ingenious, adrenaline-rich plot and addictive combination of edgy suspense and sexy romance, Kindred in Death proves that even after orchestrating more than two dozen cases for Eve, Robb can still surprise readers and jangle their nerves.--Charles, John Copyright 2009 Booklist
