Hi Cara,
It’s back to the future as Vendetta in Death returns us back to Eva and Roarke.
She calls herself Lady Justice. And once she has chosen a man as her target, she turns herself into a tall blonde or a curvaceous redhead, makes herself as alluring and seductive as possible to them. Once they are in her grasp, they are powerless.
The first victim is wealthy businessman Nigel McEnroy. His company’s human resources department has already paid out settlements to a couple of his young victims—but they don’t know that his crimes go far beyond workplace harassment. Lady Justice knows. And in one shocking night of brutality, she makes him pay a much steeper price.
Now Eve Dallas and her husband, Roarke, are combing through the evidence of McEnroy’s secret life. His compulsive need to record his misdeeds provides them with a wide range of suspects, but the true identity of Lady Justice remains elusive. It’s a challenging case, made even more difficult by McEnroy’s widow, who reacts to the investigation with fury, denial, and threats. Meanwhile, Lady Justice’s criminal crusade is escalating rapidly, and if Eve can’t stop this vigilante, there’s no telling how much blood may be spilled.

Vendetta in Death deals with Issues brought to the world stage with the #Metoo movement. Issues that face women throughout time.
The motive and the killer become clear very quickly and aren’t surprising after the first victim history. The interesting element is Eva trying to prove the person is the Killer and who the next victim is.
The way in which the killer picked up the victims is very clever. It also shows that people see what they are expecting/ wanting to see.
In the personal part of Eva life, there is some good news. Which gave some happy and funny moments in the book, and in future books.
This was the first time I have listened to an In Death book, I enjoyed the performance. Although I imagined Roarke and Peabody’s voice differently. But in the end, I didn’t mind them.
As with all the In Death books, interesting case, heartbreaking and heartwarming moments, wrapped in Eva and Roarke wit.
My rating for Vendetta in Death is 4.8 out of 5.
