The prolific Nora Roberts (aka J.D. Robb, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nora_Roberts and http://noraroberts.com/ ) is entertaining us again this Autumn with Devoted in Death. The 51st title in this police procedure detective crime series, Robb’s world is clearly a dangerous place. There have been more murders than during an average sunny afternoon in Midsomer. The summary is as follows. It’s a new year in New York city, and two star-crossed lovers have just discovered an insatiable appetite…for murder. Lieutenant Eve Dallas has witnessed some grisly crimes in her career and she knows just how dark things can get on the mean streets of NYC. But when a much-loved musician is found dead, Eve works out that his murder is part of a horrifying killing spree, stretching right across the country. Now the killers have reached New York, and they’ve found themselves another victim. Eve knows she only has a couple of days to save a young girl’s life, and to stop the killers before their sadistic games escalate. Eve’s husband Roarke is ready to put his brains and his considerable resources behind the search. But even as the couple work closely together, time is running out… can you stand the tension? I could reveal the outcome but won’t rob you of the pleasure.
