Devoted in Death by JD Robb. Kaetrin. A Reviews B Reviews Recommended Readsfuturistic police procedural Serial Killer Series. Comments. Dear JD Robb,Im an unabashed fan of the In Death series. This is book 4. 1 and Im still not sick of it. In the past few years, each book has tended to have one of two possible foci. I call them the more police procedural books or the more personal books. Theyre all police procedurals of course but some are more focused on Eve and Roarke and their close friends and others put the spotlight on something outside their circle. While I like all of the books, I tend to enjoy the more personal ones the best. So Devoted in Death is a bit of a surprise to me in that it is what Id call a more procedural book and I was riveted the entire time. I bought the audiobook and started listening but became impatient in the evenings I cant just sit and listen, thats my reading time so I went and bought the book in Australia as per the pictured cover there is no hardback release, just a trade paperback and I can get them from KMart for 1.

It is apparent the victim has been tortured and killed elsewhere and then transported to the dump site. At first, it appears the crime may have a personal motivation but the focus of the investigation quickly turns to it being a random attack and the killers there are two are a romantic pair on a months long spree of torture and death. Unlike many of the In Death books but like every episode ever of Columbo, the reader knows who the guilty parties are from the beginning in fact, their beginning is told in the opening scene of the novel. So theres really no mystery to the story. When another victim, Jayla Campbell, is taken, Eve and her team are in a race against the clock to identify and locate the killers before its too late to save her life. The entire book takes place in less than a week so theres plenty of 2. Brotherhood In DeathA word of warning for the sensitive andor squeamish neither of those are perjoratives by the way the violence in this book is extreme.

The description of the injuries when Eve and then Morris were doing their examination of the dead body at the beginning of the book was hard to hear. I find it more challenging to listen to graphic violence than read I think thats because I can skim over in print but I cant on audio. Also the narrator, Susan Ericksen, is excellent so there is extra emotion in the words just from her performance, as well as what I bring to it myself. There are some sections from Jaylas POV and while they dont go into tremendous detail, there is enough to make it upsetting. The reader, knowing the killers MO, knows what it means when Jayla thinks about how they have hurt her. Also, although sexual violence has not previously been a feature, these killers are evolving and so I must put in a Trigger Warning for rape. Its not graphic and its not the worst of what they do, but its there. Browse and Read Devoted In Death Devoted In Death Come with us to read a new book that is coming recently.

Readers questions about Devoted in Death In Death, 41. I suppose the violence in the book could be considered, at least at times, to verge on torture porn. It is very violent. I cant say whether it was unnecessary though. These are really evil killers and there are really evil people out there who do horrible, awful things so I expect to see that represented in fiction. That said, for readers who prefer their police procedurals on the cosier side, you may want to skip this one. The killers are from Oklahoma and Texas respectively and they are represented as redneck, low rent and vicious although the latter has nothing to do with where theyre from.

Other Oklahoma, Tennessee, Arkansas characters pepper the book. I think, all things considered, it falls out that the locals dont come out looking all that great there is definitely some stereotyping going on, but it is not entirely one sided. I cant really comment on how problematic this representation is. I think it might be a big issue to some readers thats the best I can do with it. There isnt a lot of romance in the story. Eve and Roarke have a fight at one point and make up which was nice but Roarke himself isnt in the story all that much. On the one hand, I appreciated that Roarke doesnt have to be in on every single thing that goes on and on the other I kind of missed him. Contrary I know. You always do this thing where you get me to care about characters very quickly. I cared about Dorian Kuper even though it was too late for him as soon as I met him. I cared about Jayla Campbell and ached for what she was going through. I had to keep reading or listening to find out what happened to her. The suspense of this book is brilliant. It was tense and urgent almost the whole time because the stakes are so high. Many of Eves friends and colleagues appear in the story and its always nice to catch up with them. I thought the very minor subplot about Morris was left hanging but I enjoyed Baxters angst about Truehearts upcoming detectives exam. As a page turning suspense thriller, this book gets an A from me but as a romantic suspense It was a little light well, very light on the romance so Im going with a B. The violence is heavy going it times but it really is a cracker of a read. Regards,Kaetrin. Amazon. BNKobo. AREBook Depository. Google.
