Echoes in Death (In Death, #44)

Okay, so I actually have a slight complaint and I'll just get it out of the way at the front... I've been on a binge for a while now and it seems like EVERY book makes a big connection to Eve's past somehow. And it's not that I expect that to disappear... Of course it won't and shouldn't. But these deep connections, as if not a single case can be divorced from her past is starting to wear on me a bit.

But seriously, a very tiny bit. I still love the hell out of these books and this one was no exception. I don't know if it's because I've been binge reading the series for so long (over a month now) or maybe it was obvious, but I suspected the killer from the first time I saw them... And though Eve didn't announce her suspicion at that point, that's when she knew too. It was probably obvious lol.

I particularly loved the ending on this one, the way it threw in a slight twist, one that you'd expect with something you may not have suspected.

Oh and I really enjoyed seeing Eve's new office - command center and kitchen and all - and the way she seemed more willing to relax a bit. This was less high profile than her other recent cases, and while I missed Nadine (she's not in it at all!), it felt more real that every case wouldn't call for her (aka the media's) involvement.

At this point, why stop? On to the next one :)
