Synopsis:
It
is 2058. New York cop Eve Dallas doesn't have to confront gun crime
anymore, no one does. Guns are simply relics. She is assisted in
detection by instant communications and probability predictions from the
all-pervasive computer network. But this latest homicide is an
old-fashioned crime in many ways. Sharon DeBlass is a high-class hooker
from a wealthy, powerful family. Her brutal, possibly sexually motivated
shooting sends shockwaves through her family, the upper echelons of
political society and police headquarters. From the note under her body,
it seems that a serial killer with a penchant for antique weaponry and a
grudge against prostitutes is on the loose. The killer gets
uncomfortably close to Eve Dallas as she pieces together his identity,
flying in the face of authority and risking her career. Naked in Death
introduces the reader to Dallas: a fascinating heroine, complex and
vulnerable, a great detective with an aeroplane hold full of baggage. In
the course of this murder investigation she meets Roarke, a charming
self-made billionaire, and passions are stirred.
My Thoughts:
I
really loved this book! I thought it was a solid introduction to Eve
Dallas and Roarke, with a good mystery/thriller story line that kept me
guessing for most of the book. I thought that Robb did a great job of
mixing mystery and crime with a start of a great romance that didn't
feel forced, but really moved the story along. I'm looking foward to
reading more in this series, and I know I have a lot more ahead of me,
considering that there are about 35 books in this series :)
Rating: B+
