Waiting on Wednesday - Fury In Death

 

'Waiting on Wednesday' is an event where I feature an upcoming book that I am extra excited about.  I used to do this in the past and am making it a priority to do again.  Seriously, who among us doesn't have a book or two or twenty that we are excited about reading?  Plus, it lets us 'spread the word' about authors and series that we personally enjoy.

I know that I have mentioned several times that I have really, really enjoyed the series written by J.D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts) that features Lt. Eve Dallas and her husband, Roarke.  It is an incredibly long-running story and this new book that will be published in the fall is #63!  Have I read all of them?  Yes, yes, I have.  One of the things that I love so much about this series is the fact that Eve and Roarke, both of whom come from very rough childhoods, have found each other, love each other so much, and have exhibited growth in their inner selves and their dealings with others.  They help people, they seek justice, they have created a family of friends and co-workers that we also get to know and love.  Not sure how long J.D. Robb will add to this storyline, but I'll be there reading them until she finishes.  Have you tried any of this series?  If so, what are you thoughts?

Fury In Death

by J. D. Robb

Publication Date: September 8th

In the new crime thriller from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author, Lt. Eve Dallas journeys into the darkness where murder is born…

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...
