Delusion in Death by J.D. Robb
3.0

This book was incredibly promising until J.D. Robb blasted a cannonball through the ending. It was about to be wrapped in a neat little bow until she added 50 unnecessary pages that included a secret relative and Eve wearing a really cringey disguise in a hostage situation. Delusion in Death featured the highest death toll in the series numbering over 200(?) bodies from two separate crime scenes. The way the killer operated and how Eve was able to untangle the scenes was very impressive. I was ready to give this book 5 stars until it veered off-kilter in the final few chapters. It was a superfluous addition and ruined its previous success up to that point. Total snaps for originality and zest to the series but try not to muck it up for a laugh or an unexpected twist. Let's count on Summerset to clean up this mess, baybee!
