Possession In Death by JD Robb makes this a 5* read. Just what Indulgence ID was missing!
2 Dec 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
How I wish that JD Robb's last hardback, Indulgence In Death, had been written like this one. Posession In Death starts literally a day or so after IID ends, with Eve having spent the morning of her planned Saturday barbie with Sly Moriarty, the baddie from IID. No, he's not dead and yes, she's jubilant that she got both baddies and that she got justice for their dead.
Eve goes home to the barbie, and this is where the book, IMO, earns a 5*: we see the WHOLE gang there socialising and having a really good time together. We see that Dr Morris is starting to move on after the death of his lover Amarylis Coltraine, we see Father Lopez from a previous book, we see Peabody & McNab, Feeney, Baxter, Dr Mira & hubby, Louise and Charles, Nadine, Trueheart and the rest all pigging out and chilling and then in the middle of it all, Eve and Chale Lopez come across...a ghost. I won't say more about what happens and so spoil the actual tale, but it involves Hungary Romanies, Russian dancers, mental and physical signs of possession, I-see-dead-people, intrigue, mystery, a red herring, and so this was Eve Dallas and JD Robb back at their 5* best.
The official blurb of the book is as below:
"The devil killed my body. I cannot fight, I cannot find. I cannot free her. You must. You are the one. We speak to the dead". Immediately after hearing these words, uttered to her by an old Romanian woman bleeding to death in the street, detective Eve Dallas begins to notice that her latest case has come with a number of interesting side-effects: visions of the deceased, instant familiarity with rooms she's never seen before, and fluency in Russian. Likewise, there appears to be a force inside of her, a spirit other than her own, that won't let her rest until she's found Beata, the old woman's great-granddaughter, whose disappearance two months prior remains a mystery. Desperate to be free of her new "gifts", Eve pursues the facts until she discovers a link between Beata's disappearance and the disappearance of eight other young women, all of whom attended the same dance classes, none of whom were ever heard from again.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I only buy the anthologies that contain JD Robb stories to complete my series of JD Robb books. However, I have always been disappointed by the other stories contained within the anthologies as they are usually weak and only serve to highlight the fantastic writing of Nora as JD Robb (in my completely biased opinion!). I read the other stories in the anthology and, this time, was not disappointed. The stories may not be what I would usually choose to read, but the writing and storylines actually stand up to Nora's for a change, so they were still enjoyable to read, whilst I await eagerly the next JD Robb installment...

I love J.D. Robb books - I have every one of them! These compilations with other authors are just magic, as they give you an insight into the styles of the authors. Their books are on my 'to read' list - as soon as I have finished reading all of my J.D. Robb books!!
