"Sometimes brotherhood can be another word for conspiracy. . . . Dennis Mira just had two unpleasant surprises. First he learned that his cousin Edward was secretly meeting with a real estate agent about their late grandfather's magnificent West Village brownstone, despite the promise they both made to keep it in the family. Then, when he went to the house to confront Edward about it, he got a blunt object to the back of the head. Luckily Dennis is married to Charlotte Mira, the NYPSD's top profiler and a good friend of Lieutenant Eve Dallas. When the two arrive on the scene, he explains that the last thing he saw was Edward in a chair, bruised and bloody. When he came to, his cousin was gone. With the mess cleaned up and the security disks removed, there's nothing left behind but a few traces for forensics to analyze. As a former lawyer, judge, and senator, Edward Mira mingled with the elite and crossed paths with criminals, making enemies on a regular basis. Like so many politicians, he also made some very close friends behind closed--and locked--doors. But a badge and a billionaire husband can get you into places others can't go, and Eve intends to shine some light on the dirty deals and dark motives behind the disappearance of a powerful man, the family discord over a multimillion-dollar piece of real estate . . . and a new case that no one saw coming" --… (more)

There's a lot here about relationships and about Eve and her trust issues. It's also about her widening her family and telling more people about her background which is helping to lance that boil another little bit.

Dennis Mira is the husband of NYPSD's top profiler Charlotte Mira, a good friend to Eve and he goes to the old family home to remonstrate with his cousin, former senator Edward Mira, with whom he had a contentious relationship. Now his cousin is missing, apparently injured and abducted and when his body turns up things are about to become complicated. Not everyone is innocent and not all killings are without a cause.

There were moments when the horror of some people's logic was made very apparent. The evil that some can do...

Interesting but felt a little padded. ( )

Brotherhood in Death
4 Stars

When Dr. Charlotte Mira's husband, Dennis, is injured during the abduction of his cousin, the couple ask for Eve's help with the investigation. As Eve searches for the missing man, evidence emerges indicating that he belongs to a secret brotherhood engaging in dark deeds, and the killer is set on extracting the most brutal of retribution.

The horrific details of this case hit close to home for Eve, yet the combination of her own strength of will, Roarke's unending love, and the support of her friends enable her to move beyond the traumas of her past and obtain justice for the victims.

The highlight of the book is the development of Eve's relationship with Dennis Mira. The absent-minded and quirky professor is simply wonderful. His ability to put aside his own grief and sadness to provide love and comfort to others is incredible, and his scenes with Eve are emotional and satisfying.

Similar to some of the earlier installments in the series, the case raises questions regarding the moral dilemmas of vigilante justice, and Robb handles the issue with insight and understanding.

Overall, an excellent read as usual. ( )

Not my favorite book of the series, but this book had some of my favorite moments between Eve and Dennis Mira. They touched and broke my heart all at the same time. ( )
