Detective Eve Dallas has taken over the investigation, but theres nothing to explain the mans sudden rage or death. The only clue is a bizarre message left on his computer screen: Absolute Purity Achieved.

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Book 15 Ch.16-22/review: Eve faces a lot of ethical and emotional questions in this book. She feels disillusioned with people who she thought were working with her on one side of the law. But when the justice system fails, is it right to take the law into your own hands? What if in doing so, you hurt people who get in the way? Eve faces threats to members of her own team - Trueheart, Mcnab, and Peabody. ⬇️

StayCurious So things are even more close to home. She butts heads with Roarke (as per usual), and climbs up the bureaucratic ladder where scandal awaits at the very top. This was an interesting case and an emotional book that once again brought us closer to our core group. 2w
StayCurious The more of these books I read the more I can‘t wait to see where these characters will go next. 2w

LiseWorks Same here. Eve is very much a go by the book kind of cop but she does ask Roarke to break the law when she feels she has no choice. A pregnant Mavis will be interesting in future books. 2w
TheAromaofBooks There were some interesting ethical questions in this one. While I did agree that no group of people should just be allowed to run around essentially lynching people, there is always that nagging question of what you do when the system fails - people who were in fact guilty but who got off anyway and are free to continue hurting others. It was hard to 100% disagree with Purity, even while recognizing that their methods were wrong. 1w
Ddzmini This was a great way to present how a group or organization can influence the public in agreeing with their perception of how to conduct executions of individuals that don‘t live up to their expectations or break laws … are they right or wrong… what happens when you are caught committing a crime they fell is against their beliefs… even if it‘s a simple crime like a financial crime… what then 1w
Ddzmini What if the crime is just not going along with the groups perceived ethical standards… that‘s why this was such a great read. 1w

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Book:15 Ch. 11-15: That Chang is a weasel. Why do I feel as though he is part of Purity? He wants to do all those shows which would give his cause plenty of airtime. And he‘s such a pain in the butt I want him to be guilty. I don‘t think the deputy mayor is part of it - but boy will she be ticked if I‘m right. ⬇️

StayCurious It‘s funny that Eve and Roarke are so terrified of being parents but yet they kinda act as such for Jamie and the rest of their motley crew. They take care of their family. I laughed at Eves reaction to Mavis‘ news. She‘s funny. 3w
LiseWorks I really loved it when McNabb declared his love for Peabody in these chapters. 2w
LiseWorks Love the Carol Burnette Meem. Yep, that was me with my girls at times lol 2w

Ddzmini I really enjoy watching this unfold and Eve and Mavis are so cute love their relationship especially with Mavis prego and excited, while Eves skepticism towards that excitement is hilarious I loved these characters for so many reasons 2w
ShananigansReads A pregnant Mavis. I can hardly imagine it. I can't wait for Auntie Eve and Uncle Roarke to emerge. 1w
StayCurious @ShananigansReads it will be so interesting to see! 1w

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Book 15 Ch.6-10: so glad Jamie is back - I like revisiting old cases and characters. But I wonder if all those e-men together is a smart idea. They‘re about to do something very dangerous with that infected unit. And boy, will Eve be pissed. She is on the right track linking the victims of the victims. She caught on to the third person who was targeted, even if she was too late. Just give her a bit more time, fellas.

LiseWorks Oh, Eve is going to be pissed! 3w
TheAromaofBooks @LiseWorks - Right!? The whole time I was reading this I was thinking about how mad she is going to be!! I love Eve and Roarke but sometimes reading about them makes me super thankful for my incredibly non-volatile marriage 😂 3w
Ddzmini @TheAromaofBooks completely agree I have enough with my hubby doing safety inspection and talking about those 🤣 Eve definitely has her hands full 🙌🏽 3w

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Book 15 Ch.1-5: sorry for the late post! Just like in the book, this heatwave has me battling headaches…luckily I haven‘t gone crazy yet 😅 Man, what a start to this book - first, poor Trueheart takes out a raging drug dealer but we find out something more is going on - Eve hands over the drug dealer‘s computer to EDD and then a detective goes batty and there‘s a hostage situation. ⬇️

StayCurious Something affected both the dealer and the detective and the computer is the only thing linking the two. Could a computer virus translate to real life? It‘s not that far fetched (remember the case with the suicides that were brought on by a computer program?) Now Eve has to get to the bottom of things - to clear Trueheart, to vindicate the EDD detective who was actually a victim, and to stop anyone else from getting infected. 1mo
LiseWorks Wow! Talk about subliminal messaging. There is no possibility that this is a targeted thing because you don't know who will be looking at the computer. 1mo

Another cracking read from JD Robb. Plot moves at a blistering pace & Roarke takes more of a back seat in this one. If I had one complaint, it would be there‘s not enough Peabody in this one. 4🌟

It's hard to say what exactly keeps me coming back to this series, but Eve and the gang sure are entertaining. This is book 15 in a series of 51 so... safe to say it may actually be the year 2058 when I manage to catch up 😂

I am so far behind on this series! 😭 I just finished number 15 and it was so good! I love the Eve Dallas novels and they never get old! I plan on getting number 16 when I go to the library tomorrow! I seriously need to catch up!
