Book Review of Rapture in Death (In Death, Bk 4)

Rapture in Death (In Death, Bk 4)
reviewed on


This is the 4th book in the series of Eve Dallas, police lieutenant in the year 2056. Mood-altering drugs are legal, prostitution is licensed, virtual-reality games have replaced TV sets for entertainment. This time around, Eve has married her soul mate, Roarke, and is caught up in the puzzling suicide of a technician who's been working on Roarke's unfinished space resort. The young tech, Eve learns, had cheerfully hanged himself after a VR trip. Back on Earth, autopsies from two similar suicides reveal a pin-sized burn on the brains of the victims. All clues point to a deadly subliminal message in a VR toy?one that Roarke produces. Great book and can't wait for #5.
