Book Review:
J.D. Robb delivers another gripping installment in the In Death series with ''Betrayal in Death,'' a novel that takes Lieutenant Eve Dallas deeper into the dark world of professional killers. When a maid at the Roarke Palace Hotel is murdered, the evidence points to Sly Yost, a hit man Eve has encountered before. But in this case, knowing the killer doesn't make the investigation any easier. Someone else is pulling the strings, and when Eve discovers that her husband, Roarke, may be the real target, the stakes become intensely personal. Robb masterfully blends suspense, mystery, and the emotional complexity of Eve and Roarke's relationship. As Publishers Weekly notes, the series is ''well-paced and expertly rendered,'' and fans will feel right at home in this futuristic world. A must-read for followers of the series and anyone who loves a smart, fast-paced crime thriller.
