Vendetta in Death by J.D. Robb
4.0
Something about this case just didn't connect well with me. Maybe because it felt like a little bit of a retread? We had a case already in these series where women connected at a therapy/survivors group and decided to get revenge on their assaulters.
That's not precisely what happened here - the women didn't band together to do it, rather one nutbar was inspired to turn herself into a vigilante and kill all the dudes. But she went totally nuts with it. Like, barking mad.
I think I also had a hard time finding much sympathy for these guys, who had gotten away with criminal shit because of their privilege. What I really liked about this case, honestly, was how hard Eve and Peabody worked to bring these shitbags to justice as they were uncovered in the investigation. That was great to see.
I also loved the old lady actress - she was gracious and lovely.
