Helpful Score: 2

While not one of my most favorite Eve Dallas books, it was still good in the traditional J.D. Robb style. Several twists thrown in along the way, plenty of murder, but not quite enough of Det. Peabody (love her humor!) or the futeristic treats (love all the new gadgets, etc.) that this series is known for. The book tends to get lost in Eve's past a little too much, almost as if J.D. Robb is running out of crime ideas, so she's reaching to the past to fill in the action gaps. Also, personally, I could do without the Dallas and Roarke sex, but that's just my personal tastes. I'm looking for crime drama, action, police procedurals, and the character interactions. If I wanted romance and sex, I'd read a romance novel, know what I mean? Anyway, I'll still read the next book in the series, but I'm hoping this particular book and Robb's new direction isn't permenent.
