Lieutenant Eve Dallas returns in Dark in Death, by J.D. Robb, the #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense, and takes on a case of death imitating art...

It was a stab in the dark.

On a chilly February night, during a screening of Psycho in midtown, someone sunk an ice pick into the back of Chanel Rylan's neck, then disappeared quietly into the crowds of drunks and tourists in Times Square. To Chanel's best friend, who had just slipped out of the theater for a moment to take a call, it felt as unreal as the ancient black-and-white movie up on the screen. But Chanel's blood ran red, and her death was anything but fictional.

Then, as Eve Dallas puzzles over a homicide that seems carefully planned and yet oddly personal, she receives a tip from an unexpected source: an author of police thrillers who recognizes the crime--from the pages of her own book. Dallas doesn't think it's coincidence, since a recent strangulation of a sex worker resembles a scene from her writing as well. Cops look for patterns of behavior: similar weapons, similar MOs. But this killer seems to find inspiration in someone else's imagination, and if the theory holds, this may be only the second of a long-running series.

The good news is that Eve and her billionaire husband Roarke have an excuse to curl up in front of the fireplace with their cat, Galahad, reading mystery stories for research. The bad news is that time is running out before the next victim plays an unwitting role in a murderer's deranged private drama--and only Eve can put a stop to a creative impulse gone horribly, destructively wrong.

From the author of Echoes in Death, this is the latest of the edgy, phenomenally popular police procedurals that Publishers Weekly calls "inventive, entertaining, and clever."

Good as a standalone or read in order

JD Robb's In Death series continues to.shine. Dark in Death is book 46 in the series, released in 2018, and it's amazing how easily it is to jump into past books in the series.Dark in Death starts with the death of a young woman at a movie theater. An author recognizes the scenario, and brings up an earlier killing as well. With the pattern established, Dallas and Peabody are hot on the trail of a killer who is following a book series. This was a slower read for me than others in the series, but still an enjoyable break in my days.The In Death series is easy to jump into as a stand alone read or in order. Great series and writing.

Great Series

Chanel Rylan was enjoying an afternoon at the movies watching the classic Psycho when she is murdered. The killer was in and out without anyone noticing. Eve is on the case and is surprised when an author comes forward saying the young woman was killed just like a character in one of her books. Eve doesn't know if she agrees until she finds a previous murder where the victim was killed like a character in one of the authors other books. She knows she must find the murderer before someone else ends up dead like another character. Follow along and see where the investigation takes Eve, will she be able to put all the clues together and find her killer or will they get away with murder.
