Judgment in Death | J. D. Robb
post image
Pickpick

I finally took the time to finish this for #InDeathLongReadalong …I‘m a bit behind! But, I think this was another great addition to the series. We see a more vulnerable Eve in some ways as she navigates grief and love. We also see a very strong Eve who speaks of walking with the dead. A bit of a sentimental end. #LitsyAToZ #LetterJ

‘“A cadaveric spasm had caused Rothwell to grab and hold onto a handful of dust at the moment of death,and Banks thought of the T.S.Elliott quotation, “I will show you fear and a handful of dust,”which he had come across as the title of an Evelyn Waugh novel.”‘
A wild,ingenious plot, with unforeseen consequences for many of the characters.Bank‘ nemesis “Dirty Dick reappears to the consternation of Banks.At Banks request,big, bumbling,but astute ⬇️

kspenmoll ⬆️ Sgt.Hatchley also reappears & uses his many contacts to sus out a clue left behind at the murder site, some shotgun cleaning papers with an unusual, mild porn sheet. This adds some humor. As in some of previous novels in the series, there are multiple mentions by Banks of music & literature that sent me down a rabbit hole- adding some music to my library. Enjoying a Sam Adams Cold Snap as I write this review. Do you see Poe‘s ears poking up? (edited) 6d

‘“Shakespeare was right…Lust often is “murderous, bloody,full of blame,/Savage,extreme,rude,cruel,not to trust.”‘
A bloody murder sends CI Banks, and his team down a rabbit hole in an effort to understand gaps in the victim‘s life story. Is the why of her murder rooted in her past? Literature,poetry, & music play an essential role: Shakespeare, Philip Larkin,Vivaldi,Mesiaen. A character even suggests that Banks is in competition with PD James‘⬇️

kspenmoll ⬆️ Adam Dalgliesh, but Banks has no idea who that is he does decide he must check this book detective out.With this book I rediscovered my enjoyment with this series. Maybe it was all the literary & music allusions. (edited) 2w

#4 in this series earns a So-So from me.Too much Pub crawling, & drinking. Despite this, a rather chilling plot.#serieslove2025
Maybe I need a break from this series!

TheSpineView Great job! 📚📚📚 3w

A Necessary End | Peter Robinson

Pickpick

A peaceful demonstration against nuclear power turns violent and ends with a police officer dead. Superintendent Burgess,whose interrogation tactics are intimidating & brutal, is sent in to head the investigation. Banks tries to work around him to maintain his positive relationships & solve the murder. Add an ex-hippie community, twists, turns, & a surprise ending & we have another series winner. #serieslove2025 #3

TheSpineView Fantastic! 3w
