Glory In Death by J D Robb

Glory In Death (In Death, #2)

by J D Robb

The dead were her business. She lived with them, worked with them, studied them. She dreamed of them.

Praise for J. D. Robb:


'J.D. Robb is a fantastic storyteller who knows how to keep the pages flying by' -#1 International Bestselling Author, Karin Slaughter

"One of my all-time favorite authors hitting a golden moment in one of my all-time favorite series. J.D. Robb never disappoints!" Lisa Gardner

'Eve Dallas - tough as nails and still sexy as hell'

'J.D. Robb's novels are can't-miss pleasures'
Harlan Coben

'Curious corpses, tangled twists and one sizzling sleuth'
Kathy Reichs

The first victim is found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The second murdered in her own apartment building. Both have had their throats slashed.

New York City homicide lieutenant Eve Dallas has no problem finding connections between the two crimes. Both women were beautiful and successful; their glamorous lives and loves the talk of the city. And their intimate relations with powerful men provide Eve with a long list of suspects - including her own lover, Roarke.

As a woman, Eve is compelled to trust the man who shares her bed. But as a cop, it's her job to follow every lead, to explore every secret passion, no matter how dark. Or how dangerous.

It was interesting reading this early installment in the series, because I’ve read most of the later ones. This is the book that first introduces Peabody (though very lightly), and there are things that happen in this book that I realized are referenced in later books. Also, I noticed that “Eve uses herself as bait” is a theme that reappears often throughout this series. All in all it was pretty good, though the characters aren’t as polished as they are later in the series. But that’s pretty common in a series of this size.
