Hi Cara,
The In Death series has hit a big number. Golden in Death is book 50. 5-0 full novel following Eve Dallas solving cases and bring justice in New York.
Paediatrician Kent Abner received the package on a beautiful April morning. Inside was a cheap trinket, a golden egg that could be opened into two halves. When he pried it apart, highly toxic airborne fumes entered his body and killed him.
After Eve Dallas calls the hazmat team and undergoes testing to reassure both her and her husband that she hasn’t been exposed it’s time to look into Dr Abner’s past and relationships. Not every victim Eve encounters is an angel, but it seems that Abner came pretty close though he did ruffle some feathers over the years by taking stands for the weak and defenceless. While the lab tries to identify the deadly toxin, Eve hunts for the sender. But when someone else dies in the same grisly manner, it becomes clear that she’s dealing with either a madman or someone who has a hidden and elusive connection to both victims.

Golden in Death brings a new and interesting case for Dallas and Peabody to solve.
The last couple of books have had victims that were unlikeable. Where in Golden in Death the victims are good people, which means there death have a bigger impact. The means and motive of the case are twisted in a great way for the reader but must suck for the characters.
I love the private moments between Eve and Roarke. Showing that a strong and powerful woman can also show emotion. Also, the way in which Roarke supports her, and even that Summerset and Galahad know when something wrong.
One of my favourite moment in the book is when Peabody loses her cool. Its a truly epic rant.
As always Golden in Death is well written, faced paced and gripping. It’s a great easy read for any crime thriller fans.
I am always a fan of reading books in order, but the good thing about this series is you can read them as stand-alone. So don’t worry about starting from book 1 if you don’t want to, (but you should because there good books.)
My rating for Golden in Death is 5 out of 5.
