Apprentice in Death by J D Robb

Apprentice in Death (In Death, #43)

by J D Robb

The shots came quickly, silently, and with deadly accuracy. Within seconds, three people lay dead at Central Park's ice skating rink. There's a sniper loose on the streets of New York City, and Lieutenant Eve Dallas is about to face one of the toughest and most unsettling cases of her career.

Eve knows that only a handful of people could have carried out such an audacious but professional hit. Even more disturbing: this expert in death has an accomplice. Someone is being trained in the science of killing - and they have a terrifying agenda of their own. With a city shaken to its core, Eve and her team are forced to hunt not one but two killers. Worse still - this talented young apprentice has developed an insatiable taste for murder...

Oops, didn't mark this one as currently reading, let alone read and review... But I still remember it clearly.

It kind of creeped me out, but it was good stuff. It was kind of sad too, because of the trigger for the killings... And I can't really explain with spoiling big time. And them the sociopath... Well, that's what creeped me out.

I really loved the way Roarke is starting to want to remodel and how that wigs Eve out - and how the reasons are both so sweet. And isn't it great the way it's just an assumed thing at this point that he'll help out with cases? Not like at the beginning when it was a careful balancing act bringing him in.

Oh and there are two pretty great scenes, that kind of pulled on the heart strings. One with Roarke, when he just shows up and get it... Avoiding spoilers, but it made me tear up a bit. And another great scene with Summerset... I love that he and Eve really do love each other, despite their protests. And scenes where that shows, well it just melts my heart a little bit.

Oh and then our little Bella is turning 1, so there's a whole birthday party and yeah, that's wonderful. Funny, heartwarming and, yeah, watery eyes a bit. Love this series so much!
