Book Reviews of Loyalty in Death
Book Review: More somber than her usual
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was published in 1999, two years before the attacks of 2001, and its terrorists are homegrown, but nonetheless the echoes of real events are impossible to ignore. It made this book seem all the more real, all the more frighteningly close to home. As the fictional detectives sort their way through bomb debris and bodies, it's all too easy to be reminded of the real debris and bodies of September 11. It adds a sobering note to a series of books that's usually all about over-the-top detective fun. It isn't out of place, however, as the story takes the horrific death toll caused by indiscriminate terrorism quite seriously. While you'll still find plenty of the usual relationship hijinks (Peabody and McNab can no longer ignore their weird attraction to each other), wild sex (Roarke and Eve are as smokin' as ever), fun new characters (Peabody's baby brother Zeke), and close calls, there are also some more poignant and chilling moments.
The plot is labyrinthine and clever, distracting the reader with wheels-within-wheels. While the bad guy ultimately seemed a little too predictably maniacal, this was a small smudge on an otherwise wild ride.
Summary of Loyalty in Death
Under any name she's a #1 New York Times bestselling author.Eve Dallas must stop a serial bomber from igniting his ultimate weapon in New York City. This one's "a perfect balance of suspense, futuristic police procedural, and steamy romance" (Publishers Weekly).
In 21st-century New York City, tough-as-nails cop Eve Dallas can survive a bombing, seduce her husband, and outsmart a terrorist--all on four hours of sleep. In this latest installment of the In Death series, author J.D. Robb (a.k.a. Nora Roberts) casts our heroine against an enigmatic group of terrorists named Cassandra. With no clear motivation or demands, Cassandra feeds on the thrill of senseless killing and the calculated destruction of Eve's world.
Relying on her own brawn and brains, as well as that of her aid Peabody and her husband Roarke, Eve begins to unravel a mystery that began decades before. When the killer's threats land close to home, Eve knows she has no choice but to gamble her own life for the chance to save her city as well as her loved ones.
J.D. Robb's combinations of mystery, suspense, and romance keep the fans of this series clamoring for more, and Loyalty in Death has equal amounts of each. While the passion between Eve and Roarke is as good as ever, the introduction of a new romantic element certainly turns up the heat and is a welcome twist. Though the evil-terrorist-in-NYC theme has been done before (most recently in The Siege), these beloved characters put up a good fight, and keep us glued to the pages. --Nancy R.E. O'Brien
