 If you know me, you know I am a big Nora Roberts fan, I have never read a Nora Roberts book I didn’t like. I am also a fan of the books she writes under the pen name “J.D. Robb”.  These books are set in the year 2058 and are about a futuristic cop named Eve Dallas. I’ll be honest; I am addicted, and when her latest, “Devoted in Death” came out recently, I had to have it. Like most book junkies I couldn’t wait to get it home so I could get my latest fix. Is it any wonder that I have to write a little murder and mayhem into my own books?

This one features a pair of Bonnie and Clyde types who go on a killing spree. While I could understand that Bonnie and Clyde might have been driven to what they did by poverty and therefore their greed for money, this couple is totally evil. They have killed their way across the country and end their reign of terror in Eve’s jurisdiction, New York City. You are pulled into the book when the “Star Crossed Lovers” capture a young women to torture for their perverted form of sexual pleasure, and then decide to add a young man to the mix, all because of their sick ideal of love. Eve works day and night to put the pieces of the puzzle together in time to save the young victims. This book centers, as most do, on Eve’s skill in tracking down the killer, but it also brings in a cast of characters that you have enjoyed seeing in past books. As usual I couldn’t put the book down until I turned the last page of the story.

If you like a good mystery then I highly recommend this. If you like a good author, just look for Nora Roberts name, because this lady is a master story teller. And, if you’re looking for something more in the romantic suspense genre, give my book “Run For Your Life!” a try, and then drop me a line and tell me what you thought.

As always, I wish you happy reading, Linda Laughlin
