Vengeance In Death by J D Robb

Vengeance In Death (In Death, #6)

by J D Robb

He is an expert with the latest technology...a madman with the mind of a genius and the heart of a killer. He quietly stalks his prey. Then he haunts the police with cryptic riddles about the crimes he is about to commit - always solved moments too late to save his victims' lives.

Police lieutenant Eve Dallas finds the first victim butchered in his own home. The second loses his life in a vacant luxury apartment. The two men had little in common. Both suffered unspeakable torture before their deaths. And both had ties to an ugly secret of ten years past - a secret shared by none other than Eve's new husband, Roarke.

Vengeance in Death is my favorite of the series thus far! It’s also the longest, but it’s jam packed with tension and excitement! Eve has a very smart, very religious, and very disturbed killer on her hands. He mutilates his victims and leaves a token behind. He also gives Eve a riddle to solve right before the murder, giving her a chance to save the victim. Eve is more determined than ever to stop this person, because once again, Roarke is involved. But he’s not a suspect this time, but the end target.

Vengeance in Death was super intense! This murderer was extremely creepy. He honestly believes that he’s doing God’s work by killing these people. Of course, there’s more to it than that, once Roarke and Summerset recognize all of the victims and link them back to a horrible event from their past. There’s just so much going on here, and I was hooked!

I don’t want to give anything away, because Vengeance in Death really is super great. The mystery was engaging and interesting and disturbing. I loved learning more about Roarke even if it is very unpleasant. I also really enjoyed the interactions between Eve and Summerset. Obviously, those two never got along, and now she has to prove that he’s not a murder! There’s just so much animosity and tension!
