Salvation in Death

My pick for favourite book of April for #12Booksof2024

It seems April was a low point for books in my reading of 2024 & I struggled to pick something that stood out. I finally went for this book in JD Robb's 'In Death' series as I love the series & the characters, even if this one wasn't one of my favourites.

Salvation in Death | J. D. Robb

pick

As the family & congregation gather together for a funeral, all eyes are on Father Miguel Flores as he starts to perform the funeral mass. All seems normal until he drinks the communion wine & falls down dead. Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas is on the case & quickly confirms that Flores was poisoned. Who would want to poison a priest?

OutsmartYourShelf Apparently I've read this book at least once, which is news to me as it didn't seem at all familiar when reading it. Religion is an unusual topic for this series to tackle but it was done well. The plot is complicated but not convoluted, & there is the usual humour & banter between the recurring characters. I did find that it didn't quite hold my attention like the previous books in the series though & I'm not sure why. 9mo

OutsmartYourShelf Also, it would be nice to see one of the books involve Summerset a little more. He's a shadowy background character & I think making him & Dallas have to set aside their mutual antipathy & team up for once would be something just a bit different.

This was another good installment in the series but just a tab too long. I don‘t think it needed the distraction of the second non related killing in the middle. There were as always lots of great banter between Eve and Peabody. Plus Roarke and Eve are the best fictional married couple second only to Jaimie and Claire from Outlander.
