No one likes to be alone during the holidays. For New York's most posh dating service, Personally Yours, it is the season to bring lonely hearts together. But Lieutenant Eve Dallas, on the trail of a ritualistic serial killer, has made a disturbing discovery: all of the victims have been traced to Personally Yours. As the murders continue, Eve enters into an elite world of people searching for their one true love--and a killer searching for his next victim. A world where the power of love leads men and women into the ultimate act of betrayal...
Five Boundless Stars
It just seems apropos that Holiday in Death would come up next on my reading list right in times for the Holidays. Kismet if you will.
This novel struck a very sensitive nerve with Eve and had her reliving some of the most horrific parts of her past. It also made her a little blind on the investigation on who the real bad guy was. I guessed once he was introduced, however I wasn’t 100% certain, so the story wasn’t blown.
I would have loved to know what Eve got Peabody for Christmas and vice versa. Maybe we get a flash back in book 8? I was also disappointed that we didn’t get to see that intimacy between Eve and Roarke exchanging gifts, I wanted to know his reaction. But then I am a Christmas fool.
Like all the books before the narration is stunning, and I have no problem immersing myself completely into Robb’s world. I am looking forward to continuing this series well into the future.
