Glory In Death (In Death, #2)

Glory in Death kept me just as engaged as the first book! Once again, we find Eve as the primary on a case involving the murder of two women. Their throats were neatly slashed with no other marks on the body and no signs of mugging or defensive. And once again, Roarke can be linked to both of them. Eve knows he didn't do it, but as a cop she has to prove it. Again. While the set up is the same, the case didn't feel like a repeat. I was eager to know who did it and why!

I'm loving how this series seems to be revolving around powerful women thus far. Both of the victims in Glory in Death were well-known women at the top of their careers. Eve herself is the best cop around, and there are other ladies around her that are excellent at their jobs as well. It would seem like the murderer doesn't like that and wants to get rid of them all. I had an inkling of who it was, but wasn't for sure until Eve busted them!

Of course there's more Eve and Roarke in Glory in Death, but it's not all sunshine and rainbows. It's also not over-the-top romance drama. Roarke just wants to be sure of Eve's feelings and not feel used or like she's not taking them seriously. I totally get where he's coming from, but I also totally get Eve. Even though it's only two books in, it's clear that Eve doesn't know how to do relationships. Or really, she doesn't know how to get close to people or be someone other than "a cop." Don't worry, it doesn't get dragged out or turned into some melodrama. They're adults, and they act like it, fix the problem, and move on. They're in this together and I like that.

Glory in Death was a great sequel as well as great as its own mystery. I flew through it in a couple of hours, because I was just hooked! I couldn't put it down! Now to see what comes next for Eve Dallas...
