Description

In this crime thriller from #1 New York Times-bestselling J.D. Robb, a small and easily concealed weapon wreaks havoc, and the killer is just a face in the crowd.

Jenna’s parents had finally given in, and there she was, at a New York club with her best friends, watching the legendary band Avenue A, carrying her demo in hopes of slipping it to the guitarist, Jake Kincade. Then, from the stage, Jake catches her eye, and smiles. It’s the best night of her life.
It’s the last night of her life.

Minutes later, Jake’s in the alley getting some fresh air, and the girl from the dance floor comes stumbling out, sick and confused and deathly pale. He tries to help, but it’s no use. He doesn’t know that someone in the crowd has jabbed her with a needle—and when his girlfriend Nadine arrives, she knows the only thing left to do for the girl is call her friend, Lieutenant Eve Dallas.

After everyone on the scene is interviewed, lab results show a toxic mix of substances in the victim’s body—and for an extra touch of viciousness, the needle was teeming with infectious agents. Dallas searches for a pattern: Had any boys been harassing Jenna? Was she engaging in risky behavior or caught up in something shady? But there are no obvious clues why this levelheaded sixteen-year-old, passionate about her music, would be targeted.

And that worries Dallas. Because if Jenna wasn’t targeted, if she was just the random, unlucky victim of a madman consumed by hatred, there are likely more deaths to come.

I could not get into this and I have read all of the series. The dialog seemed different. Not the usual that grabs you right into the story. Did Norah have someone helping or writing for her? Hope the next one is back to the usual.
Another two day read!

I cannot explain how all of the series has captivated me and as they are all in my library this one did not disappoint either!

Just what you hope for in an In Death book; fast paced, emotionally entangling, and (as always) a wonderful glimpse into the lives of vibrant characters who’ve become like old friends over the years.
Loved the book!

Huge disappointment. I have read every book written by this author. I have loved them all—not one less than 5 stars. This seemed phoned in and weaker. The characters were not moving forward and the premise was boring. I will chalk it up to everyone has a bad day. Please go back to whatever has changed and if the passion is gone , then time to retire.
