Purity in Death: In Death, Book 15

Working my way through all of these books. What a gifted author. Just when I think what can she possible imagine next, she blows me away, yet again. Total page turner. This is the 15th book. I feel like I know these people. I hurt when they hurt, etc. Short, easy reads. Great escapism. And then there is Roark. 😋

She never goes wrong on a Eve Dallas book. This one I’ve read twice it’s so good!! Definitely recommend to everyone.

Purity in Death is the fifteenth book to J.D. Robb’s In Death series. I’m determined to get through this series. I was going to read 2-3 books a month, but life has been hectic. I know during the summertime I’ll be able to read more from this series, as long as my family lets me. I’m determined to catch on this series because I can’t get enough of Eve Dallas, Roarke, Peabody, McNabb, etc. I love all of these characters.Storyline/My Thoughts: Louie Cogburn has been cooped up in his apartment with blaring music. His head is pounding, and he is about to break because of it. All it takes is one of his neighbors coming to confront him about his music being too loud for Louie to snap finally. The first cop on the scene fires his stunner twice, and instantly Louie dies. The cop then calls the first person who can think of that can help him, which is Eve Dallas. Eve Dallas never expected to have to deal with a case when she was supposed to meet up for Roarke for dinner, but now she’s at Louie Cogburn’s apartment trying to help the cop that called her. She realizes right away something is amiss because of a strange message on Louie’s computer screen: ABSOLUTE PURITY ACHIEVED. Now, what could that mean, and why would Louie take a bat to his neighbor.This is where it gets dangerous for Eve and her team because they will have to deal with other cases like Louie Cogburn in the coming days. One of the cases will hit close to the police station. It’s up to Eve and her team to determine what is causing these people to lose it and hurt others. It could be a drug, but when her squad starts unraveling what is really behind it and who is when they start realizing someone is taking justice into their own hands.I had a hard time putting down this book because this was one case that I needed to find out what was happening and if Eve and her team were going to solve it. Poor Eve can’t catch a break, and neither can her team. McNab even ends up hurt in this book, and readers will see how much Peabody cares for McNab. I love how Roarke plays a significant role in this story in helping Eve, even if Eve doesn’t want him helping. Eve puts herself at risk in this book, which doesn’t make Roarke happy. Eve also ends up having her past creep up again and haunt her.This book had a lot of shocking moments in it, and everyone is involved in this case. Eve and her team will find out the truth and bring it to light on what is behind everything. I loved every bit of this book and can’t wait to dive into the next book.Standalone or Part of Series: It’s part of the In Death series by J.D. Robb.Would I recommend this book? Yes, most definitely. This is one of my favorites in the series. (I have several.) I would recommend this book/series to Romantic Suspense/Thrillers readers out there.

FINAL DECISION: Enjoyable addition to the series. The highlight is the development of secondary recurring characters. While the central conflict of procedural justice versus vigilantism is interesting, I found the character interactions (especially the recurring secondary characters) more compelling than the mystery itself.THE STORY: Lieutenant Eve Dallas investigates a series of deaths caused by a vigilante group using a computer virus to kill those they deem guilty but who have escaped legal justice. The case is especially challenging as it seems to implicate powerful and well-connected people in New York City.OPINION: I found PURITY IN DEATH to be a solid entry in the In Death series. The book's central conflict between procedural justice and vigilantism provides an interesting backdrop for the investigation, raising questions about the nature of justice and the role of law enforcement.The real strength of this installment, however, lies in the development of the secondary recurring characters. We see growth and change in familiar faces like Peabody, McNab, Feeney, and others. Their personal and professional developments add depth to the series' world and provide some of the most enjoyable moments in the book.Eve and Roarke's relationship continues to evolve, offering a mix of supportive and conflicting moments that keep their dynamic interesting. Their scenes together remain a highlight of the series.While the ethical questions raised by the vigilante group's actions are thought-provoking, it's the character interactions and growth that keep me coming back to these books. PURITY IN DEATH balances advancing the overall series arc through character development while providing a self-contained mystery.WORTH MENTIONING: A character from a prior book in the series makes a significant appearance. I loved checking in.CONNECTED BOOKS: PURITY IN DEATH is the 15th book in the In Death series. While the mysteries in each book are standalone, there are continuing and overarching storylines (especially regarding character relationships and development) that continue from book to book. I recommend reading the series in order, although it is not strictly necessary.STAR RATING: I give this book 4 stars.

I have read all of the In Death series but somehow missed this one….this one is exceptionally good! I read it in one day… I don’t want to spoil anything but I will say I hope none of this could ever come to pass! Wouldn’t mind the flying vehicles or the drying tubes though!

Very happy with the condition of the book as it came in better condition then expected and showed up quickly as well. Will be using this buyer again

Well I certainly wasn’t left wanting with this one while power was out. As usual - escapism perfection was achieved. 10/10 for Robb never missing her mark.

Came on time and very happy with the quality of product, can’t wait to read it

In diesem Buch der "in Death" Serie geht es um einen Computervirus, der die Anwender der Computer aggressiv macht und nach einer Zeit tötet.Dieses Buch ist genau so spannend wie die Bücher davor. Man kann es kaum aus der Hand legen

いつものようにイヴがロアークのビジネスディナーにいくのを渋っていると、トゥルーハートからの連絡、そして殺人事件は幕を開けます。ブックレビユーにあるあらすじ通り、コンピュータウィルスが凶器となった事件です。第１作から少しづつ明らかになってきたイヴの子供のころの記憶を前もって踏まえていないと読みにくいかも知れません。前作までに登場したおなじみの人たちも今回も元気に活躍しております。初めてこのシリーズを読もうとしていらっしゃる方は、第１作目から読み始めていただきたいです。そのほうが、もっと楽しめます。
