Lieutenant Eve Dallas keeps the streets of 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, marked by signs of prolonged and painful torture, Eve is catapulted back to nine years ago. A man the media tagged The Groom-because he put silver rings on the fingers of his victims-had the city on edge with a killing spree that took the lives of four women in fifteen days. But now, The Groom has returned-and Eve's determined to finish him. Familiar with his methods, Eve knows that he has already grabbed his next victim. When it turns out that the dead woman was employed by Eve's billionaire husband, Roarke, she brings him onto the case-a move that proves fitting when it becomes chillingly clear that the killer has made it personal. And chances are that he's working up to the biggest challenge of his illustrious career-abducting a woman who will test his skills on every level and who promises to give him days and days of pleasure before she dies: Eve.

This is the latest title in the In Death series by JD Robb, it does stand alone but I would definately recommend starting with Naked in Death as there has been a lot of character develpment over the series.
This story is about a torturer who was active in New York 9 years ago when Eve was a Detective and Feeney was her Lieutenant. The killer was one of the ones who got away, a case that has nagged at Eve and Feeney over the years and now he's back. The story follows the case as they try to make sure they catch him this time, with a great twist at the end. I don't want to give too much away about the story but if you've read and liked any of the other in Death books you won't want to miss this one.
We get to see more of Feeney and Eve's relationship in this book and as always Rouke and Eve are fantastic (not much in the way of development of their relationship in this book but since they've had lots of ups and downs they deserve to be living the good life as far as their marriage goes.)
I did think that there was a bit of an update in the kind of technical language that was used during the case in this book...made me think a lot of the tv show Criminal Minds with terms such as unsub.
I loved this book and would definately recommend it.

Love this series, there's nothing like visiting old friends for a few hours of good company.
This time Eve and her team are tracking a killer they 'lost' the first time around. Many still working remember the first time and are determined to get him this time. More dynamics between Eve and her team this time with her personal life being relatively stable - though don't worry we still see lots of Roarke as a consultant on the case.
You can read these books as stand alones, but as noted by another reviewer you would miss a lot of character development particularly over the last 3-4 in the series.
Yes I suppose - as my friend says - they're a bit samey!!! But she just doesn't get it. They are so superbly written, with characters you love, or love to hate and as with all JD Robb/Nora Roberts books within the first couple of pages you feel as if you have known everyone your whole life and would like to meet with them on a regular basis.

VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
This is the 27th full length book in the series featuring Eve Dallas, futuristic NYPD cop and it still engages the reader in a furiously fast paced murder mystery thriller. I was throughly immersed in the storyline of the serial murderer setting a ticking clock of leaving his victims tortured to death with the time they lasted carved on their bodies. As one body is found, it is known that the killer has started work on the next victim. The killer originally started with a killing spree nine years earlier (predating the start of the series) and Eve and her then partner Feeney failing to capture the killer then. Now the killer is back and his ultimate challange is Eve herself.
For those who come into reading this series at this point, the story stands up as an excellent mystery thriller with adrenaline with some good sleuthing (although there are references to earlier novels in the series). For those who are fans of the Eve Dallas series, there is more focus on the relationship that Dallas has with her former partner and trainer, Feeney and how they work together, with the rest of their team to capture the killer. As ever, there is the presence of Eve's super rich billionare husband, Roarke and their relationship which has grown more comfortable and contented as the series has continued. There is less emphasis on romantic relationships in this book, though the developments between Peabody (Eve's current working partner) and her boyfriend McNab bring moments of lightness and comedy to a very dark novel.
This book is a great read and it has drawn me back to rereading previous books in the series. It is fortunate that Ms Robb is prolific there are only a few months to wait between episodes and the reader is eagerly anticipating the next novel in the series... Stranger in Death.
