One of the better In Death books to come along in awhile, J.D. Robb is back in full force with New York to Dallas.
Ten years ago, when Dallas was a rookie cop fresh out of the academy, she took down a serial rapist, pedophile Isaac McQueen. Investigating a robbery that went south outside McQueen’s apartment building, Dallas notices what few others who encountered McQueen would likely miss – that there was just something off about this charmer. Having been raped repeatedly by her father as a child, Dallas recognized the monster McQueen truly was.
Now, years later, McQueen has escaped from prison and has one agenda – to take down the cop who took him down.
As luck would have it, or not, McQueen decides to take his brand of crime to Dallas, Texas, kidnapping his last victim from ten years prior, Melinda Jones, and keeping her hostage, taunting Eve Dallas to stop him a second time. Eve must travel to Dallas a city rife with personal history, the city where she finally escaped her father and which still haunts her. Added to this is McQueen’s junkie partner, one Sylvia Prentiss who turns out to have a far too personal connection to Eve and her past.
New York to Dallas is, quite simply, a page-turner, and delightfully returns to the series’ roots, that of discovering more about Eve’s mysterious past. It’s J. D. Robb at her best!
Till next time, happy reading!
