Dante had been courting his victim in cyberspace for weeks before meeting her in person. A few sips of wine and a few hours later, she was dead. The murder weapon: a rare, usually undetectable date-rape drug with a street value of a quarter million dollars.
Detective Eve Dallas is playing and replaying the clues in her mind. The candlelight, the music, the rose petals strewn across the bed — a seduction meant for his benefit, not hers. He hadn’t intended to kill her. But now that he had, he is left with only two choices: to either hole up in fear and guilt. Or start hunting again…
REVIEW: I decided recently to re read this series. When I got to this book I honestly couldn’t it. However as I started to read certain things came back to me, and I remembered that I actually liked this book, at least the story within the story. This is one where I was more interested in what was going on with the supporting characters in this book, than the actual murder mystery.
However all that being said this was a really good book. It had an angle/twist that I had never seen before. I can’t say much more than that or it will give it away.
For those that like this type of book, and love J.D. Robb/Nora Roberts books, this is one that you shouldn’t skip over, if not for the actual story than for the sub-story, as their are things that happen that explain relationships in the series.
This book was read as part of the Spring ’09 Reading Challenge. Read a Series or a Trilogy.
