 Getting Better All The Time
Betrayal in Death
"J. D. Robb" (Nora Roberts)
(This Page Is A Spoiler Note.
Click here to return to main review) |
Since Roberts' publisher saw fit to reveal in a
Page One blurb that Dallas and her people manage quickly to match the rather
brutal and distinctive MO of the first murder -- a young housekeeper in a
hotel that Roarke owns, where, by no coincidence Roarke and Dallas are attending
the opening gala of a possibly billion-credit auction of costumes, jewelry
and other memorabilia of film star Magda Lane -- to a high-priced international
killer for hire.
Even before the second killing, it's obvious that this is intended as a challenge
and as a distraction to Rorake and Dallas, and as well, as a way to hurt
Roarke personally, because of the rather paternalistic attitude he adopts
toward his employees.
Now what could we be distracting them from? Hmmm. Billion credits...
Nah. |

{{As i was typing up this page, i suddenly realised that one reason i like
this one the best of the "Robb" books may well be that it kept reminding
me subconsciously of the Deaf Man making another run at Carella and the rest
of the 87th Precinct squad...}}. |
