Welcome to Litsy!

Solid police procedural thriller - set in a fictional future version of NYC. I haven‘t read anything else in this In Death universe and this is book #58 - so clearly a lot of character connection that I arguably missed not reading the others, but the author does a decent job of giving you the gist even if you‘re coming in cold. I definitely walked away enjoying Eve…and hunky Roarke.

It gave me The Closer vibes. 🥹 #AuthorAMonth

I gave up this series about 10 years ago & there are around 20 new books in it. 😳 For #AuthorAMonth I picked up where I left off. It's a good, readable story of but I can't say I can really get behind a cop heroine and billionaire hero these days. Throw in a lot of sexual violence and a nasty prison rape comment and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to catch up with the missing 20 plus however many new ones there are since I started that sentence.

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Book 17.5 Ch.1-8: we‘re back in 2059 with Eve, Roarke, and Eve‘s new partner Peabody. It is interesting seeing the changing dynamic between the two. It‘s interesting seeing Peabody without her uniform! I think she‘s fitting into her new role well and it‘s great to see. It‘s cool how this book aligns with the previous story, and how some diamonds were never recovered. Are we thinking the killer is Crew‘s grandson? ⬇️

Slow Sunday morning made complete with iced (La Colombe Peppermint Mocha!) latte in bed and attempting to finish my #AuthorAMonth pick. 🙌🏻

“Ironman, but not like Ripken.“ Her eyes narrowed. “Is this porn?“

He laughed. “It isn't, no.“

“Ironman sounds suspicious to me. What are the others?“

“There's Thor, the Hulk,“ he began.

“Sounds like porn.“

#authoramonth complete. I was on the fence about reading any Nora Roberts after not enjoying one of her fantasy series, but decided I'd give one of her mysteries a try.

Unfortunately, still not a fan. The main murder mystery was interesting. Everything else...not so much. A theme in the few books I've read by her is lazy world building, and that continued with this book set in future times.

Also, why is this cover so terrible?

Never thought I‘d read and enjoy a Nora Robert‘s book, so thank you @Soubhiville and #AuthorAMonth! Had no idea she writes Sci-fi thrillers under a different name either. This one is action-packed and enjoyable brain candy featuring a tough detective with a complicated past of her own which is just what I needed this busy month.

Written in the 1990s but set in the 2050s, it was interesting to see her take on the future (she played it safe). 😊
