Strangers in Death

by J.D. Robb

The new novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series.

Technology may be different in 2060 New York, yet the city is still a place of many cultures and great divides.

But I was actually glad that the book focused on Eve and Rourke now--and not past--staying out of the nightmares/past regrets and relationships that the series had fallen into so heavily. Robb had developed a cast of characters that is so huge that we get only glimpses of them now, which is too bad. Characters like Louise, Mira, Feeney, once so central, have become sideicks, and really interesting new characters--like the coroner, Trina, and the bouncer (can't remember names!) have been sidelined. I feel like Eve: her life is full of people who she doesn't have time for!”

It was far too transparent as to whom the murderer was, from the very beginning. I was never on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. Ho hum...”
