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

 

It is late May 2061 as Forgotten in Death: An Eve Dallas Novel by J. D. Robb begins. begins. It is a pretty early morning and Eve Dallas is on duty and working at a rubble strewn construction site in Hudson Yards. She has been dispatched to a body in a construction site dumpster.

The trail of blood from the fencing four feet away to the side of the construction dumpster was the first clue for a worker earlier that morning. The body in a sheet with her head significantly brutalized was the second. The victim was clearly dead as the body laid on top of the load in the dumpster. The plastic over it had not done much to hide that fact.

It is while Lieutenant Eve Dallas of the NYPSD is on that scene, that she is informed that another body has been found a block away. A worker there has also found a dead body. Upon arrival, it is clear that the body is from many years ago. It was buried behind a wall and under some flooring as a restaurant was built above her. She was also pregnant. It is also a site owned by Roarke as his company seeks to redevelop a site that had shoddy construction just after the Urban Wars ended.

Are the bodies linked, even though they are decades apart? Or, is it just coincidence that the killings just happened to come to light at the same time.

Dallas, Peabody, and others investigate in Forgotten in Death: An Eve Dallas Novel. The result is an entertaining and fast paced police procedural. A lot has changed by 2061, but people are people and they still kill for all the classic reasons.
