Born In Death by J D Robb

Born In Death (In Death, #23)

by J D Robb

Eve wasn't sure what it said about her that she was more comfortable in the morgue than a baby boutique. And she didn't care. The scent of death was the familiar.

Rushing to the murder scenes of a tortured young woman, Eve is far more at home than when organising best friend Mavis's baby shower.

And then one of Mavis's guests - the young, pregnant Tandy - disappears into thin air. Eve steps in, but when the facts begin to blur with the earlier murders, she unearths a chilling trail of deception and cold-blooded greed, leading to a terrifying hunt to find Tandy before time runs out.

I'm doing something I thought I'd never do... I'm reading out of order! But... but... I got this one as a kindle deal, and these are episodic mysteries so that's okay, right? right???

I really liked this one, even though it tugged at my heart strings. I hate it when good people are murdered, especially when it's a couple. I don't even know why.

Sometimes, it's frustrating to be a reader because you know a character isn't being introduced this late in the game, in this specific book, for no reason. So you're trying to figure out the connection to the case the entire time, and then you get it but you beloved detectives don't because they are not living this book as readers and I just want to poke my head into the book and guide them in the right direction :

Also, it was so fun to see Roarke as uncomfortable as Eve for one!
