I liked the wiccan/satanist angle, but the story was too predictable. I would have like to see her explore Roarke's superstissions more or investigate his beliefs. This one is not a mystery. Robb tells us who the bad guy is from the beginning. Did this take any of the enjoyment away for me? Not at all. In fact, it was kind of interesting to see it from the other side, and see how she works through it to catch the right bad guy. And there was enough of the suspense that I didn’t miss it as much as I thought I might. I like the futuristic setting. It amuses me when we come across things like hover cars, food that cooks itself, or robotic animals. Maybe I haven’t read enough/ come across enough of this genre, but I think it mixes well. I think I’ve said before I like a strong, independent, SENSIBLE character like Dallas, Lieutenant Eve (That is how she always identifies herself, so that is how I have come to think of her). I like that she is so opposite of Roarke, and yet they seem to make it work, and work well. I was really leery when they married them so early in the series, but it seems to work well, from what I have read so far. Only time will tell if Robb can keep the relationship from going stale. And then there is Roarke. Can we ever get too much of him? And he sure had his share of exposure in this one. My one complaint about these books, is some of the lesser characters can become… well, more like something you would expect to see in a comic book, or in a cartoon. Maybe even a cheesy old superhero movie. But I think even that can add something to the setting. All, in all, I like them, and I will be continuing the series, at least until something changes dramatically. =D While not one of my favorite '..in Death' books it's still pretty good and we meet Jamie Lingstrom for the first time. Robb also throws in a few bits of backstory for some of the continuing characters. The book begins at a viewing for a respected cop who died of apparently natural causes. Of course, it turns out that there are some questions about this death and the cop's recent activities... Still love these books. I really get sucked into them and read them quickly. Plus, Roarke is super-sexy. no reviews | add a review
