Summary: 1 Stars
This was SO boring. I've read many Nora Roberts books before, but this was just an extremity of what her flaw is as a romance author. In her romance books, I am often left with some emptiness or apathy of the characters but she doesn't do a good job of writing about a character's emotions and internal struggles they are having. There was never enough detail about what was happening at important points in the story. This book is a supreme example of that. It was basically just dialogue. Dialogue with no emotion, slang words that nobody understands, supposed NYC detective lingo (which was all wrong - who says wit? What's with all the abbreviated words? No one abbreviates "cause of death" unless it's on paper), and, most irritatingly, no depth. I couldn't bring myself to even care about any of these characters. What's the point of reading a story if there's no feeling or connection that the reader feels for somebody? It's just people talking and that's about it.
Summary of Creation in Death
NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas keeps the streets of a near-future New York City safe in this extraordinary series. But even she makes mistakes, and is haunted by those she couldn't save-and the killers she couldn't capture. When the body of a young brunette is found in East River Park, artfully positioned and marked by signs of prolonged and painful torture, Eve is catapulted back to a case nine years earlier. The city was on edge from a killing spree that took the lives of four women in fifteen days, courtesy of a man the media tagged "The Groom"-because he put silver rings on the fingers of his victims.When it turns out that the young brunette was employed by Eve's billionaire husband, Roarke, she brings him in on the case-a move that proves fitting when it becomes chillingly clear that the killer has made his attack personal. The victim was washed in products from a store Roarke owns, and laid out on a sheet his company manufactures.
With the Groom's monstrous return, Eve is determined to finish him once and for all. Familiar with his methods, Eve knows that he has already grabbed his next victim. Time is running out on another woman's life.
And chances are he's working up to the biggest challenge of his illustrious career-abducting a woman who will test his skills and who promises to give him days and days of pleasure before she dies: Eve.
