When a night out at the theatre is interrupted by the murder of a young woman in Washington Square Park, it seems like an ordinary case for Detective Eve Dallas and her team. But when her husband Roarke spots a shadow from his past in the crowd, Eve realises that this case is far from business as usual.
Eve has two complex cases on her hands - the shocking murder of this wealthy young mother and tracking down the shadow before he can strike again, this time much closer to home. Eve is well used to being the hunter, but how will she cope when the tables are turned? As Eve and the team follow leads to Roarke's hometown in Ireland, the race is on to stop the shadow making his next move . . .
Well in my opinion Robb has done it again! Book 51 and it is at least as good as any of her earlier books and better than some. It helps of course to be a long term fan, as I certainly am.
I was pulled in instantly when I discovered that this was going to be a book about Roarke (and you can never have enough Roarke) whose colourful past comes back to haunt him from time to time. In this case it is a shadow in a crowd, someone he knows from his childhood and someone he realises is there to kill him.
Of course Eve and her team pull out all the stops to find the killer before he attacks Roarke or Eve or any of their friends. Computers run hot analysing data and many tiny details eventually add up to reveal his location. At the end there is a delightful, if totally unrealistic chapter, where everyone ends up in Ireland to take the killer down.
It was all good fun and I loved every minute of it. Sadly I finished it in a day and now have to wait for the next one. At least I know Ms.Robb knows how to look after her fans and that that next book is already written
My most favorites series. i couldnt stress enough how much i enjoy reading this death series. It has every thing that is needed in a book. The fact it is set in the future is sooooo amazing. Your imagination just run wild. I love JD ROBB.
