Product Description:
When the newly promoted captain of the NYPSD and his wife return a day early from their vacation, they were looking forward to spending time with their bright and vivacious sixteen-year-old daughter who had stayed behind.
Not even their worst nightmares could have prepared them for the crime scene that awaited them instead. Brutally murdered in her bedroom, Deena's body showed signs of trauma that horrified even the toughest of cops; including our own Lieutenant Eve Dallas, who was specifically requested by the captain to investigate.
When the evidence starts to pile up, Dallas and her team think they are about to arrest their perpetrator; little do they know yet that someone has gone to great lengths to tease and taunt them by using a variety of identities. Overconfidence can lead to careless mistakes. But for Dallas, one mistake might be all she needs to bring justice.

my first thought here is that this book was written by somebody else i love the "in death " series and while i like some more than others ive never read one this ...... flat first anybody whos read theese books (SPOILER STOP READING NOW IF YOUVE NEVER READ ANY JD ROBB BOOKS ) know that charles monroe proposed to louise during the book strangers in death (***** book great read ) they mentioned the planning of the bridal shower during salvation in death and had a hilarious bachelorette party for louise in the last book promises in death the wedding is mentioned but there is only one seen between louis and eve about the preperation and its short and .... boring then at the very end of the book we get a rushed four page epilouge that barely mentions the whole plotline as for the plotline a flat deflated bore theres no change in the points of view and no humor i expected to see a book like born in death that tied mavis giving birth to bella with the mystery cop element of the story (if youve read born in death you know what i mean ) maybe something titled VOWS IN DEATH with a serial killer killing brides maybe a woman charles was sleeping with as an lc jealous that he quit maybe thinking he should be with her and not louise (killing other brides to thow off the nypsd) just a thought

J.D. Robb's latest "In Death" books have been getting better. This one was very good, and worth the hard cover price. Not as great as "Strangers in Death" but one of the top three of hers. Good plot.

This is Dallas at her best, totally "mag!" Got to be the best one yet in the Death Series.
(and to think, I almost didn't get it because of some of the reviews!) Glad I didn't listen.
I loved this book. It is not any more gorey than any of the others in the series.
Well done, J.D. Robb!

There is nothing new or interesting about this book. Same theme. Same tempo. Same characters. Same "type" of crime, which seems that Eve should be head of a Special Victims Unit rather than homicide since all she gets are rapes. Same conversations with everyone. Same emotions with Roarke.
There is just no growth. No one seems to grow, especially not Eve. She is still uncomfortable and apparently unknowledgable about basic things involving love and relationships, which is shocking for a grown intelligent accomplished woman.
Disappointing.
I wish I had not wasted the money.

Kindred in Death is JD Robb's 29th in her Eve Dallas series and if you're thinking they're getting stale, think again. This may be the best yet.
JD brings us a fresh new mystery for our hero Eve Dallas and her stable of detectives to solve with the help of her suave and handsome husband the estimable Roarke. The characters while familiar are always revealing just a little more about themselves which adds depth to the story, while the hero and heroine are a constant they continue to wow their audiences with painful glimpses in their pasts. Her dialogue is classis Nora Roberts where her In Death series is concerned from her very abrupt Eve, to her classic good cop Peabody, to e-geek cops McNab and Feeney, her best friends quirky and spunky Mavis and newshound Nadine and who can forget her main squeeze and everyone's favorite hunk Roarke. The plot/story line is unique and her unfathomable imagination always wows me as to how she can keep coming up with new and different situations to put her characters in. And we always get to meet new and memorable folks in each read especially her villains which in this case is a cold blooded killer who's reason behind the crimes will keep you turning page after page until you come to the final outcome. The love scenes are as always sizzling and steamy and as we get to know our hero and heroine more and more we see just how much in love they are even or maybe because of their differences.
So if you think you can just start reading this book without raising your blood pressure or increasing your pulse think again and get ready for one scary, exciting ride with this page turner.
