When Loyalty in Death started, I had to wonder why Eve was so focused on this murder. It's not like the girlfriend killed him and ran, she turned herself in. And yet Eve doesn't close the case. Clearly the author had a twist planned, but in the beginning this plot thread felt really forced because there wasn't much to go on. Eve's only line of evidence was that the girlfriend would inherit millions of dollars, but...she still admitted to killing him! There's nothing to solve! But then the twist came later.
I didn't really get into Loyalty in Death until Delia Peabody's brother got involved. He's just kind of there, hanging out, working, and generally not being interesting. And then....oh boy, and then things take off! I couldn't stop reading! What has he gotten himself tangled up in!?
Loyalty in Death had me nervous in the beginning because the two crimes were too disconnected and Eve's obsession with connecting them felt forced. But once those connections are actually made, I was hooked! I never should have doubted!
