Delusion in Death by J.D. Robb
5.0

Delusion is a very different In Death book. The killer(s) used chemical weapons to make people become violent and attack each other, resulting in over 100 painful, angry deaths. With many victims comes the possibility for many motivations, leaving Eve, Peabody and company overworked and out of time. This leads to a much more tense, on-the-edge-of-your-seat feel to the novel. It's great, and a good change of pace in a series that's been mostly about people killing one person at a time. The emotions and intense stakes add considerable weight to the novel. The killer could have had a bit more subtlety, but other than that it's a great novel.
