As Salvation in Death begins, Hector Ortiz had been a much-loved man.
Not just by his family. His many friends and numerous neighbors mourned him as
well and joined with his family to fill the old Catholic church in Spanish Harlem
for his funeral service. They came to honor to the man and pay their respects.
In so doing, they also got to watch a priest die as he gave communion.
Father Miguel Flores is very much dead
at the altar, next to the casket, and it is up to Lieutenant Eve Davis and her
team to figure out who done it and why. Good thing Dallas and her NYPSD team
are up to the task. It does not take her long to figure out that Father Miguel
Flores was not everything he seemed. Murder has a way of uncovering the truth
and Dallas intends to uncover all of it.
As always in this series, the social dynamic of the relationships between Dallas, Peabody, and others is what drives this part police procedural and part romance series forward. J.D. Robb spins a world of high-tech gadgetry and old-fashioned police work together and makes it all again work well. They are also just a flat-out fun escape from the world of today.
My reading copy came as an eBook through
the Libby/OverDrive system via the Dallas Public Library.
