Creation in Death by J.D. Robb
5.0
Full disclosure - this is one of my top two favourite series, so factor that in to your consideration of the validity of this review.
Another winner in the In Death series!
Eve is called to a murder scene that is chillingly familiar to a case she investigated when she and Feeney were still partners years before. Called "The Groom" the murderer tortured his victims in horrifying ways and was never caught. It has always infuriated Eve that the victims never got the justice they deserved because the team couldn't catch him.
Aside from Feeney and Eve, several other members of the team also worked on that case, and so it's personal, and every one of them is determined that this time the killer will be caught and put into a cage, but they have to find him first.
This is a case where everyone's emotions are running high. The tone of this book is more intense than many of the others, so there is less of the snappy repartee that characterizes a lot of other installments. But because of the determination Eve always has to stand for the victims, you so want her to catch the one that got away that you don't really mind.
There are a few lighter moments, like when Mavis shows up with her new baby and whips out a boob to nurse her right at the breakfast table with Eve and Roarke sitting right there.
And, of course, there's always a moment or two for Eve and Roarke to have some nooky.
In short, one more fabulous installment in this fabulous series.
