Dark In Death by J.D. Robb
In Death series Book #46
5★
On a chilly February night, during a screening of Psycho in midtown, someone sunk an ice pick into the back of Chanel Rylan’s neck, then disappeared quietly into the crowds of drunks and tourists in Times Square. To Chanel’s best friend, who had just slipped out of the theater for a moment to take a call, it felt as unreal as the ancient black-and-white movie up on the screen. But Chanel’s blood ran red, and her death was anything but fictional. Then, as Eve Dallas puzzles over a homicide that seems carefully planned and yet oddly personal, she receives a tip from an unexpected source: an author of police thrillers who recognizes the crime―from the pages of her own book. Dallas doesn’t think it’s coincidence, since a recent strangulation of a sex worker resembles a scene from her writing as well.It is always a pleasure to revisit Eve and Roark... and of course Galahad. The "In Death" series is high on my favorite series list. You can't help but love its characters...its relationships...and last, but not least...its mystery.
This book certainly didn't disappoint. It had its slow moments and the climax had you wondering just what you should feel for this poor pitiful creature, but you have to say it certainly packed a punch. Just what I have come to expect from an "In Death" novel. The investigation was intriguing, and kept the reader guessing...trying to out think the killer. The main characters were wonderful as always, their interactions and relationships realistic and the plot...with all its twists, was engaging.
