And the Oscar goes to....
This book was so intense with devoted fathers forced to be suicide bombers. And amidst this hectic investigation, preparations for the Oscars have to be made as life marches on. A great mix of murder and friendship and life.

This book was so good, I picked it up this morning and was done shortly after getting home from work.
As always, JD Robb books are enjoyable to read. I love her futuristic characters and the chemistry between Dallas & Roarke!
Holy moly! I have no idea how 47 books in J.D./Nora still comes up with new and heinous crimes but she does. Leverage in Death is another tightly woven, edge-of-your-seat reads you don't see coming.
Following Eve as she disentangles the threads and learning why the villains did what they did really hit me in the gut. The lives they destroyed for that?!
I wished for a touch more Eve/Roarke moments, but that was the only downside to another fabulous In Death book.

I received a digital ARC of this title from Edelweiss for an honest review.
Eve is back and this time she's investigating a suicide bombing in the corporate offices of an airline. One Monday morning, Paul Rogan walks into a meeting of a merger of his company with another, wearing a vest full of explosives and sets them off, killing 11 people on sight, and injuring 9 more. To all appearances, Rogan was an extremely happy family man. He loved his job and his coworkers. So why did he go the route of a suicide bomber?
I can't believe there are 47 of these and there are still new and different ways that people can kill each other. I also can't believe I'm still so interested in all these characters, but I totally am. I particularly enjoyed the humor on this one. I'm still giggling here about Bella's comment. I think this might be one of my favorite in this series.

"That’s unbelievably cruel.”
“Nothing cruel’s unbelievable."

It's a different kind of crime for Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her crew when a suicide bomber turns out to be another victim, forced into the act to save the lives of his wife and child. As Eve looks for motive, another similar crime occurs. Could all of these deaths be designed strictly to make the killer(s) money?
The non-standard motivation makes Leverage in Death seem like a new, fresh take on murder, even forty-seven books in the the In Death series. Roarke's financial knowledge finally comes in handy to help solve the crime, but Eve and crew still have to rely on good, old-fashioned police work to find their killers. Elsewhere in the story, Nadine's book-turned-movie is nominated for an Oscar, and everyone (except Eve) is becoming obsessed with the awards.

I enjoyed this one very much. The method used to murder is terrifying, yet possible in the world we live in, which makes this story sinister. How afraid would you be if this happened today, just hysterical, I think. Because I could imagine this in reality this grabbed me in ways that hadn't happened before.
This is a novel in this series that is definitely worth continuing this series for.

The In Death series has always been my favorite by J.D. Robb. It just keeps getting better. And maybe next time we will find out who's stealing the candy.
