Creation In Death: 25 (In Death, #25)

by J D Robb

Lieutenant Eve Dallas keeps the streets of New York City safe in this extraordinary series. But even she makes mistakes, and is haunted by those she couldn't save-and the killers she couldn't capture. When the body of a young brunette is found in East River Park, marked by signs of prolonged and painful torture, Eve is catapulted back to nine years ago. A man the media tagged The Groom-because he put silver rings on the fingers of his victims-had the city on edge with a killing spree that took the lives of four women in fifteen days. But now, The Groom has returned-and Eve's determined to finish him. Familiar with his methods, Eve knows that he has already grabbed his next victim. When it turns out that the dead woman was employed by Eve's billionaire husband, Roarke, she brings him onto the case-a move that proves fitting when it becomes chillingly clear that the killer has made it personal. And chances are that he's working up to the biggest challenge of his illustrious career-abducting a woman who will test his skills on every level and who promises to give him days and days of pleasure before she dies: Eve.

This has to be one of my favorites! The stress of everyone involved on this investigation - trying to catch the one that got away years ago was great. I loved seeing Roarke fully involved, more than ever before. And I loved the way everyone backed Eve up. I loved the comradery and the way they all pushed themselves so hard. It was just a really good story with a lot of heart. Love this series.

I really liked that more of this book was seen from Roarke’s point-of-view. It was a nice change of pace — like an episode of a tv cop drama where there’s a camera crew tagging along and you see everything through *that* camera. I liked the sense of urgency in this one. Not a lot of side plots here, almost everything is about the case. Another change of pace. I guess you have to shake things up once you get to #25!
