A review by nickystrickland
Shadows in Death by J.D. Robb

4.0

4* is generous, it's more a 3.5 for me. The in-death books have a number of ways to happen; 1) We know the killer and the chase is on 2)the killer is unknown but from Eve's perspective primarily 3) the killer is unknown but is told with a strong aspect of killer's perpsective, 4) a mix of 2 & 3. This is one where we know up front the killer and it's the chase to catch style. This for me wasn't the strongest instalment of the series. I missed seeing more the supporting crew, who were namechecked (eg Mavis) or were very much in a back seat (eg Peabody, relatively speaking). Understandable as it was about Roarke with his history being the driving force of this story. Still an auto-read but not quite the compulsion of other, stronger tales.
