Review—Indulgence in Death
J.D. Robb wrote the novel Indulgence in Death. G.P. Putnam’s Sons published the book November 2010; the novel has 373 pages.
From Ireland to New York and various areas around the universe, murder finds Eve Dallas just about anywhere. Even in a tranquil family visit to Ireland, she and her husband Roarke, end up in the middle of murder. Upon returning home, the hits just keep on coming. Lieutenant Eve Dallas is back in New York and back to work as notice of the murder of a limousine driver comes across her link, the future of communication in the mid 21st century. The NYPSD provides fair gear to their officers but Roarke provides better gadgets for his cop.
This murder is unique in many ways, the choice of weapon, a crossbow, is only the first element. Further investigation leads to prominent companies and prominent executives. Are there leaks in these security companies or hackers out there that just want to kill? Eve and her partner Peabody find the circumstances very circumstantial in this murder, then again in the second, third and so on. Each death is a different type of victim, with a different type of weapon, and in this century, some weapons do not come easy to come by. In addition, after more searching, the next crime, murder by bayonet, leads to the owners of companies implicated in the deaths. From golden limousines to world famous chefs, these murders take those in the top of their professions and put an end to their careers. However, where-oh-where, is the connection? Professionals who provide for those used to living lives of indulgence are being murdered in very different manners.
J.D. Robb has written many Dallas and Roarke novels, and this one provides the same genuine characters and a multitude of twists and turns. Since her marriage, Eve is much more used to some indulgences, but murder still gets to her and she fights for those that have been killed and can no longer fight for themselves. In this as in many other novels, Roarke is nearby; he aids the investigation, and aids in keeping his cop safe.
