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

It isn’t the first-time acts of terrorism have killed and injured people in New York city. It has struck again at an ice rink at Central Park. Three are dead as Apprentice in Death by J.D. Robb begins. Dozens are injured. There are many witnesses. But, nobody saw where the pulse steams came from to take down three random people.

 

That is because the steams were fired from elevation over a mile away. The shooter, a “Long Distance Serial Killer,” or LDSK in the parlance of the book, has incredible skills. No doubt the killer has had, highly specialized training of the kind given to members of the military and law enforcement. Such a person that would do this, in Dallas’ mind, would not stop after three kills. She is sure there will be more attacks.

 

She would be right.

 

One of the more intense reads of the series, Apprentice in Death by J.D. Robb, is a good one. The usual flaws are here, especially in POV head hopping. At the same time, the story itself quickly pulls you deep into the read. As a result, this reader started the book midafternoon and ended up reading it long after midnight, so as to finish the read.

 

It was well worth it.
