After a vacation overseas as Indulgence in Death
begins, Lieutenant Eve Dallas is back in New York City and happy to be
home in the noise and bustle. The organized chaos at Cop Central puts a spring
in her step and a smile on her face. She plans on doing paperwork, checking in
on current cases, and in general getting up to speed on what she missed.
That plan goes sailing out the window when she is
quickly dispatched to the dead guy in a limo. Jamal Houston died because
somebody fired a crossbow bolt through his neck. Said killer did it while
sitting in the back seat as the car sat in the short-term parking lot at La
Guardia.
It is an interesting case as the weapon is rare as
it is the way it was done. It is the first of a string of such cases. The
deaths keep coming as Dallas and Peabody struggle to figure out who and why of
it all so as to stop the murders.
Fast moving and very complicated, J.D. Robb spins a
web of prestige and murder in Indulgence in Death. While I always
recommended reading series in order, one could start here if so inclined.
My reading copy in eBook format came from the Dallas
Public Library System through the Overdrive/Libby app.
