Hi Cara,
Today I am back visiting Eve Dalla. I decided that I would listen to the book via audible.
Lt. Eve Dallas is about to walk into the shadows of her husband’s dangerous past.
As it often did since he’d married a cop, murder interrupted more pleasant activities. Then again, Roarke supposed, the woman lying in a pool of her own blood a few steps inside the arch in Washington Square Park had a heftier complaint.
When a night out at the theatre is interrupted by the murder of a young woman in Washington Square Park, it seems like an ordinary case for Detective Eve Dallas and her team. But when Roarke spots a shadow from his past in the crowd, Eve realises that this case is far from business as usual.
Eve has two complex cases on her hands – the shocking murder of this wealthy young mother and tracking down the shadow before he can strike again, this time much closer to home. Eve is well used to being the hunter, but how will she cope when the tables are turned? As Eve and the team follow leads to Roarke’s hometown in Ireland, the race is on to stop the shadow making his next move.
(Synopsis from Goodreads.com)
Shadows in Death is a more personal book as someone from Roarke is in New York.
I do prefer when the cases are more personal, as there is an added level of drama. Also, we tend to get more Roarke which I am always a fan of.
I enjoyed that they boxed off part of the case very quickly. Allowing the rest of the book to focus on the contract killer. I have to mention I loved Eve and Peabody in integration.
One of my favourite elements of Shadow in Death is seeing into Roarke past. Seeing how he has changed since being a Dublin street rat, and even how he has changed since being with Eve and spending time with cops.
Another moment I loved is between Roarke and Eve regarding a tracker. Listening to Roarke tirade via the audiobook made it funnier than if I was reading it.
Shadow in Death has action, danger, mystery, humour and romance. It is another great addition to the In Death Series.
My rating for Shadow in Death is 5 out of 5.
