Vengeance in Death | Nora Roberts, J. D. Robb

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Ch.11-15: Things have escalated-our madman killer was goaded by Eve to come after her.She nearly dies in a car explosion! Eve shows real vulnerability by admitting that she‘s terrified for Roarke since he is the main target. They head to Ireland - to investigate but also to lay Jenny to rest. The trip down memory lane isn‘t easy for Roarke but having Eve there I think helps. They work with an Irish cop while there.

Librarybelle That explosion! I could just feel Roarke‘s emotions as he races to find out if Eve is okay. This is building to an intense conclusion - cannot wait to see how this one ends! 14h

ShananigansReads That explosion was bananas! Thank goodness she had such a janky car. 13h

LiseWorks Boy, this one had me in tears when Roarke held onto Eve to tell her how he felt if he lost her. 13h

TheAromaofBooks I've liked Eve and Roarke together better with each book, but this one just has me shipping them so hard. They have really come so far and I love the honesty and vulnerability we are seeing between them now. It's a great mystery, but I feel like their love story is really the center of this story. 2h

#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR: Ch.6-10 Eve‘s investigation leads to Summerset and she has to do a formal interview. After hitting him pretty hard, Roarke and Summerset give her more information about what happened to Marlena and how Roarke sought justice. They do this off the record. Eve believes Summerset is innocent- mainly because she knows he would never hurt Roarke. But the real killer is trying to frame Summerset as another slap at Roarke. ⬇️

StayCurious Roarke gives Eve the info he has on the men who killed Marlena, the men he killed in vengeance. Eve gives this info to Peabody and Mira, and we really see who she can trust as they agree to keep Roarke‘s secret. Eve believes, despite her badge, that what Roarke did was justified. ⬇️ (edited) 1w

StayCurious There is another victim - Roarke‘s former lover. It will be difficult for Eve to keep him chained. He wants vengeance for the loss of his friends. Can Eve keep him safe and continue to do her job?

I was on the edge of my seat during these chapters. They were intense. The fight Eve and Roarke had was so emotionally charged. And learning about Roarke‘s past was captivating. 1w

Librarybelle Yes! They were very intense chapters, and you‘re so right about the emotionally charged fight. I love that we continue to see Eve evolve as a person - she‘s flawed, recognizes it, and wants to do right for everyone. I cannot imagine the turmoil she is going through at the moment. I‘m ready to dive into this week‘s chapters! 1w

TheAromaofBooks While these stories are similar - someone close to Eve is a suspect; she has to follow her duty; they get all hurt and offended; etc. - I appreciate that Robb also keeps it fresh. Here we're getting a lot more details about Roarke's past and watching Eve grow and change, accepting some nuance in her life. 1w

LiseWorks I really like McNabb. And love She-Body as a nickname. These chapters were intense and I hope Roarke and Summersett listen to Eve. 6d

ShananigansReads @LiseWorks I agree. McNabb is a great addition to the term but I missed Feeney. 5d

#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR: A man from Roarke‘s distant Irish past is brutally murdered in what looks like a revenge killing, and Eve is tagged personally to work the case. Privately, Roarke and Somerset allude to dangerous secrets from their past that may have lead to this man‘s death and Roarke warns that he may need to tell Eve everything. I‘m guessing this has to do with the vengeance Roarke sought in return for Somerset‘s daughter‘s death.⬇️

StayCurious Soon, Eve is contacted by the killer again and given the challenge to find his next victim before it‘s too late. This time it‘s someone Roarke was indeed close to, a man who was once a friend. And Eve doesn‘t know how to handle his grief and anger. Then, Eve places Somerset of all people at the scene of the first crime. And she has to bring him in for questioning. This of course places her and the butler even more at odds⬇️ 2w

StayCurious and Roarke torn in the middle. This killer is playing with them all, and he‘s not finished yet. 2w

Librarybelle I was surprised by how graphically violent this one is. I wanted to shake Summerset with his evasiveness and the impasse he and Eve seem to have had become a problem. I understand why he does not trust her, but it would have been nice for them to coexist at least cordially by now. 2w

StayCurious @Librarybelle yes the murder was rough - but I think the book is trying to escalate the series a bit. And it‘s about time for Eve and Summerset to come to a head. 2w

Librarybelle @StayCurious I can definitely see an escalation. It serves too as another separation between Roberts the romance and suspense romance writer and Robb the futuristic mystery writer. And yes, they were well due to come to a head. 2w

LitStephanie I have been off Litsy for months but love this series. Can I join, pretty please? 2w

LitStephanie @Librarybelle they are SO different. I can't stand Nora Roberts books but love the Robb series. 2w

StayCurious @LitStephanie absolutely! We check in once a week and read 5 chapters per week. We‘re on book 6! 2w

LiseWorks The murders were really rough. This is finally opening the reason maybe why Summersett is the way he is with Eve? And the relationship with Roarke and Summersett. 6d

Hubby & I listened to these two during our trip this weekend. We enjoyed them both but Ceremony was our pick between the two. I‘m not sure if tomorrow‘s travels will bring on book 7 or a different audio.

This one wasn't nearly as good as the prior book in the series. It was ok, but I found myself zoning out a bit in the last half.

Book 12/20 for #crushtherush @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick
Book 8 for #progressitnovember (book 7 of 51 read in this series so far)

so-so

A killer contacts Lt Eve Dallas with clues to his next victims, all of which seem to have a connection to her husband, Roarke.

Not enough Officer Peabody in this one. I love when she enthuses about Roarke‘s fancy cars & Dallas says “We‘ll look for your dignity later.” 😄 3⭐️

so-so

I doubt I'll ever make it all the way through this looooong series, but I'll keep plugging away every so often! This one wasn't my favorite though, here's hoping that at some point the murders and/or suspects aren't always directly related to Eve, Roarke, or their pasts, because that play is getting old.

Melissa_J I think this is the next one up in the series for me. I love the series so far, but I doubt I‘ll stay interested enough the characters to make it through 50 books with them! 5y

swishandflick @Melissa_J It's hard to imagine a 50 book series!! 😱 5y

I really love this series and I like that I made the decision to reread it. It‘s great being reintroduced to favorite characters, McNab makes his first appearance in this one. The mystery was okay, but it‘s always about the characters and relationships in this series. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
