FFB Review: Brotherhood in Death: In Death Series by J.D. Robb

Lieutenant Eve Dallas of the NYPSD has plans for a quiet evening at home as Brotherhood in Death begins. It has been a long day and is sliding into a nasty January night as she packs up her things to leave Cop Central. She needs her husband, her cat, some food, and the quiet of home to relax and recharge. She has not made it all the way out of the building when Mira, good friend, and the top shrink of the department, catches up to her. The normally calm Mira is upset as her husband, Dennis, and his cousin, have been violently attacked and now Edward is missing.

 

While Dallas works homicides, she also helps friends in need. Mira and her academic Professor husband Dennis mean everything to her. Soon the two of them are lights and sirens on the way to a home in Soho.

 

Former Senator Edward, Mira was at the house meeting with a realtor to sell the place. Dennis went over to tell Edward once again that he would not agree to sell. Beyond the will, they made a promise to a dying family member and that means the place can’t, and won’t be sold. As Dennis explains to Dallas, he walked in, saw, Edward in a chair bleeding, and then was knocked out.

 

When he woke up, Edward was gone, and everything looked fine. He is sure it happened the way he thinks it did, though his memory does slip a little bit, here and there. But, his memory issues would not account for why he has injuries. Those memory issues would also not explain why, on closer examination by Dallas, the scene has evidence that something happened.

 

Where is Edward? Who has him? Why was he attacked and subsequently taken?

 

All questions and other ones that have to be answered by Dallas, Peabody, and the team in the increasingly complicated Brotherhood in Death by J.D. Robb. A story that will quickly pull you in. A story that also just maybe will find you rooting for the wrong side just a bit.
