Festive in Death by J D Robb

Festive in Death (In Death, #39)

by J D Robb

Eve Dallas deals with a homicide—and the holiday season—in this thrilling In Death novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author J. D. Robb.

Personal trainer Trey Ziegler was in peak physical condition. If you didn’t count the kitchen knife in his well-toned chest.

Lieutenant Eve Dallas soon discovers a lineup of women who were loved and left by the narcissistic gym rat. While Dallas sorts through the list of Ziegler’s enemies, she’s also dealing with her Christmas shopping list—plus the guest list for her and her billionaire husband’s upcoming holiday bash.

Feeling less than festive, Dallas tries to put aside her distaste for the victim and solve the mystery of his death. There are just a few investigating days left before Christmas, and as New Year’s 2061 approaches, this homicide cop is resolved to stop a cold-blooded killer.

This was good - I particularly enjoyed the holiday stuff. It's always fun to see Eve having to do holiday shopping and also seeing how she's gone from being solitary to having this big group surround her. Not even close to solitary anymore!

They mystery was ok - I suspected the right person almost from the start. But I hated the dead guy (as did Eve) and unlike Eve, I didn't care as much about her figuring it out as a result. I know, not right. But I'm not a cop :)

On this binge, I have a feeling I might now stop unt I get current with the series...
