Hi Cara,
Today on my blog I am reviewing the 53rd book in J.D Robbs In Death Series. Forgotten in Death came out in hardback on the 7th of September 2021.
In the latest novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, homicide detective Eve Dallas sifts through the wreckage of the past to find a killer.
The body was left in a dumpster like so much trash, the victim a woman of no fixed address, known for offering paper flowers in return for spare change―and for keeping the cops informed of any infractions she witnessed on the street. But the notebook where she scribbled her intel on litterers and other such offenders is nowhere to be found.
Then Eve is summoned away to a nearby building site to view more remains―in this case decades old, adorned with gold jewelry and fine clothing―unearthed by recent construction work. She isn’t happy when she realizes that the scene of the crime belongs to her husband, Roarke―not that it should surprise her, since the Irish billionaire owns a good chunk of New York. Now Eve must enter a complex world of real estate development, family history, shady deals, and shocking secrets to find justice for two women whose lives were thrown away…

Forgotten in Death has two different crimes to keep Dallas and the crew busy. One of the cases happens in their current day and one from the past in 2024. I like having the case in the past due to the different methods. Also what historically was going on back then.
As always the way Dallas and Roarke dig out the truth, I am never surprised with the methods. But the truth they uncover is already interesting. My favourite aspect is how Dallas and the team build up the evidence and smack it in the face of the suspect in the interview room.
Overall Forgotten in Death is an enjoyable crime mystery with a couple of different mysteries, and an interesting bunch of characters and a reminder to watch out around old people.
My rating for Forgotten in Death is 4.8 out of 5.
