Mystery
From Goodreads:
Eve
Dallas deals with a homicide—and the holiday season—in the latest from the #1 New
York Times bestselling author.
Personal
trainer Trey Ziegler was in peak physical condition. If you didn't count the
kitchen knife in his well-toned chest.
Lieutenant
Eve Dallas soon discovers a lineup of women who'd been loved and left by the
narcissistic gym rat. While Dallas sorts through the list of Ziegler's enemies,
she's also dealing with her Christmas shopping list—plus the guest list for her
and her billionaire husband's upcoming holiday bash.
Feeling less than festive, Dallas
tries to put aside her distaste for the victim and solve the mystery of his
death. There are just a few investigating days left before Christmas, and as
New Year's 2061 approaches, this homicide cop is resolved to stop a
cold-blooded killer.
I don’t think I have missed reading
any of the 39 books in this series.
Some have been favorites and some not so favorite but through it all I
have stuck with Dallas and Roarke.
The ones that are my favorites have one thing in common. They all feature new growth for Dallas
and Roarke. Festive in Death does
that. Written around the big Christmas
party at Roarke’s mansion Eve has to let go and own her place by Roarke’s
side. I loved how she managed the
set up for the party while still working her case. With a house full of characters from previous books she
realizes how may friends she now has and how much her life has changed for the
better.
There is also a lot of interaction between
Eve and Roarke that highlights how right for each other they are. The mystery kept playing sometimes in
the background and sometimes in the forefront. I thought Eve was on the wrong track about the killer. It was fun to realize I was right and
that it took her time to see who was really guilty.
Festive in Death is a nice addition
to the series and a Christmas story to boot.
I read the large print edition of
Festive in Death by J.D. Robb published by Wheeler Publishing in 2014.
