About this deal

The police procedurals were outstanding, requiring the aid of so many teams within the NYPSD working together with absolute precision for a common goal. But Mina didn't have the same fortune as Dorian, and it was her body that Lieutenant Eve Dallas stood over, feeling a fury building inside. As Eve and Peabody, plus the rest of the team worked around the clock, Roarke did the same in his inimitable way.

But Roarke is also worried about the effect this case is having on Dallas, as it brings a rage to the surface she can barely control. Roarke, of course, is on hand to serve as an expert Civilian Consultant especially given the nature of the case. I also say this because there's a viral video going around with a white woman in a Lexus showing some ridiculous content like beware of traffickers because they will try to put knock out drugs on a door handle, put money in your windshield, etc. This book pushed my belief that they’d need to keep it a secret when it’s happening very much out in the open right now.Nora Roberts) sets the books over a short amount of time and almost no time passes in and between books. Even amid the horrors of the insidious crimes that Eve, Roarke and the crew investigate, JDRobb can still make me smile and laugh -- and even ooh and aah with her clever musings and back-and-forth bantering between such an amazing cast of characters. I loved how they worked through it, using each other so honestly for support and emotional sustenance. It was very interesting to see Eve, so prickly and wound up, snapping at Roarke, Peabody, and even Mavis, yet holding it all together to get the job done.

But if you like a thrilling mystery and lots of twists and turns, then you don’t want to miss out on this one! Niente che possa ricordare quei libri passati nella serie, nei quali i misteri da risolvere erano solo un contorno alla relazione dei due protagonisti principali. My tags should show what many of the triggers are, but this novel in particular will have many triggers.This time Eve’s passion for justice and those that need help pushes the story beyond finding a single murderer, to taking down those that prey on children. Number 55 proves to be one of her best yet – even when dealing with such a dark and tragic storyline. To begin with, one of the major gripes I have about this series got somewhat addressed, with Eve actually making an issue of her controlling, overprotective husband taking steps to protect her right out of a case that hits close to ancient, longsince addressed traumas that she has and continues to deal with in a productive way. I’m still thinking about something though, how those villains kidnapped those children who came from rich and happy family? I thought it would feel a bit too full, but every character for one just fits into the overall story and has their part in this one.

A tough storyline to read about but these crimes are taking place all over the world and some of these poor children are never found. But something you know going into any Nora Roberts book, even this long series of murder mysteries, is that everything is going to turn out alright in the end. Eight months later her body is found in Battery Park, New York, speared through the chest by a three-inch piece of wood.This 55th addition to the series is just as fresh, thrilling, engrossing, and suspenseful as the first one. Mina Rose Cabot, age thirteen, disappeared walking home from soccer practice in Devon, Pennsylvania. I got to go back and check in on some of my favorite people: Dallas, Roarke, Peabody, McNab, Feeney, and - of course - Galahad! I have read every book in the series – some of them several times – and there isn’t a clinker in the bunch!

When Eve identifies the girl as Mina Rose Cabot, a child missing from Devon, Pennsylvania – a child who was much loved – Eve knows she isn’t just looking for a murderer – she’s looking for a child abductor. The flow of the book really works and I was happy to see more of Eve and Mavis's friendship up front and how they love and get ticked at each other. I’ve never wanted to see villains taken down more than these despicable people who were abducting children as young as 10-years old for their nasty school. One exception is the really fast helicopter that Roarke owns that gets a few members of the team from one place to another.

This was a chilling story because, deep down, you know it could be true either now or someday in the near future. The characters are some of the most intriguing and interesting I’ve ever read and they grow personally and professionally with each new book. Robb details the abuse that the girls experience from the very beginning, so when one of them turns up dead, I feel like readers can connect more with the victim. These two really are sisters, and the couple of scenes we get in this book shows why they trust and love each other.
