Calculated in Death (In Death, #36)

by J D Robb

On a bitterly cold night on the steps outside an empty office in New York's financial district, a woman lies dead. It seems like a mugging gone wrong, but Eve Dallas soon discovers that the body was dumped there deliberately.

Now she has to find out why.

Eve has a host of suspects for Marta Dickenson's murder. Using her husband Roarke's business know-how and with Detective Delia Peabody by her side - when not distracted by the upcoming premiere they're all to attend - Eve starts examining the motives of some very powerful people in order to catch a killer.

I enjoyed Calculated in Death about as much as most of the In Death books. Eve and Roarke are awesome, as always, to watch. I liked seeing Eve take an interest in his world because of her case and I'm glad she's a stupefied by it as I am. I just can't imagine. This one made me chuckle quite a bit because a lot of the suspects are just dumb. I love the way it plays on the reality that the wealthy - especially those that inherit wealth - are often dumb assholes. The fun surrounding the vid premier was nice too. Love Eve's fear of Trina :) I think I'm going to grab at least one more before I stop this binge.

Loved it. A victim you really felt for (althought victims 2 & 3, not so much), and more great one-liners from Dallas and Peabody.
