A review by deanie
Leverage in Death by J.D. Robb

5.0

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.
