Special thanks to the publisher for a complimentary arc of this title for review. Opinions expressed are my own.
In the new crime thriller from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author, Lt. Eve Dallas journeys into the darkness where murder is born…
Review:
Lt. Eve Dallas is called to the murder scene of a wealthy biotech executive, Larry Chu, who's been brutally beaten beyond recognition leaving no doubt that this murder was personal. The perpetrator had to be extraordinarily strong, tech-savvy, and boiling with rage. Dallas has seen her share of violence, but nothing comes close to this. As Eve, husband Roarke, Peabody, Feeney and the rest of the NYPD regulars begin working the case, clues cast suspicion in the direction of the company Chu worked for. When more savagely violent murders are discovered, Eve and gang are in a race against time to find the string that ties them all together and stop a killer.
Fury In Death, In Death #63, is a riveting, character driven, tautly plotted addition to the series. Robb never fails to deliver a unique, engaging plot line that holds my attention from start to finish. As always, one of my favorite things is following a tenacious Eve as she builds her murder board and contemplates the possibilities before unraveling the mystery and nailing the villain. As I've said many times before, the character development in these books is amazing and continues to be so. Eve's interactions with found family and friends showcase a softer side of the hardcore detective as she's become more acclimated socially - one that surprises her as much as others. Her development from book one to book 63 is astounding and yet believable.
Fans of the In Death series will enjoy this suspenseful police procedural as will fans of intriguing, character driven mystery thrillers. Fast paced with Robb's signature sharp prose, Fury In Death is another must-read from one of my favorite authors.
Synopsis:
NYSPD homicide detective Eve Dallas never knows what to expect when she gets word of a body. It could be an elderly man who made the mistake of climbing a ladder in slippery footwear. And the next call could be a wealthy biotech executive beaten to death in his home office—but what was Larry Chu’s mistake?
The victim’s corpse is so mangled and damaged it’s hard to believe a lone, unarmed assailant could have managed it. The killer was clearly unnaturally strong—and smart enough to find a way into Chu’s highly secure building. Most of all, whoever did this was very, very angry.
The excessive violence leads Dallas to conclude that this was a deeply personal act, born of a rage that she can’t excuse but can understand thanks to her own traumatic past. And though the motive seems rooted in heated emotion rather than cold hard cash, she can’t ignore the suspicious bank account in the Cayman Islands, or the shadowy, profit-hungry company Chu worked for. The mystery only grows when it turns out Chu isn’t the only victim—and Dallas will need to tear through one layer of secrecy after another to reveal what lies behind this explosion of fury...
