I’ve read more than half of the books in this series, and I’ve got to say, this one didn’t quite hit the mark for me. Now, I’m a Muslim, so I might miss some of the Christian nuances, but I do think they handled it well within the story. Father Lopez’s character was on point, and I’m hoping to see more of him in future books.
Now, the moment Dr. Mira began speculating about the killer’s gender, I had a strong sense of who it might be, based what Inez had shared with Eve. Despite that, It was fun watching it all play out and the takedown of the killer was rather enjoyable. However, I couldn’t help but wish that the ending didn’t feel so rushed.
Then there’s the matter of the other religious figure’s murder. I kinda wished they’d brought the media in more. It’s funny how, in some of the other books, the media oversteps boundaries, but when you’ve got a juicy case, suddenly, Nadine’s quiet. Maybe I’m a bit cynical, but more media action would’ve spiced things up and would have added more depth too.
And you know, I’m starting to notice that those quirks I once admired about Eve, those quirks that define her, can sometimes be rather irksome. She’s super “American,” which can be grating at times, I suppose that’s the best way to describe it. So Occasionally, I find myself wishing she were more open-minded. But hey, at least it does balance out somewhat since most of the people around her are indeed open-minded.

I missed this series. It's a good quick read. Roarke's not obnoxious, Peabody & McNab have a moment, and the plot is kinda interesting.

One of the slower in death books. A priest is murdered but he was hiding his real identity.
Good but not fabulous entry in the "...in Death" series. It's worth reading when you are enjoying the series as I am, but you definitely wouldn't start off with this one.

I'm not a religious person but this book makes you think about your past sins and think about seeking redemption. Another great book for the series.
