Lieutenant Eve Dallas struggles with the end—and the beginning—of life in this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series. Just as Eve Dallas begins to investigate the grisly double homicide of two young lovers—both employees of the same prestigious accounting firm—her friend Mavis need a favor. One of the moms-to-be in Mavis’s birthing class has gone missing. Normally, such a case would be turned over to Missing Persons. But Mavis wants no one else on the job—and Eve can’t say no. Now Eve’s trying to track down the missing woman, while simultaneously unearthing the deals and double-crosses hidden in the files of some of the city’s richest and most secretive citizens, in a race against this particularly vicious killer. Luckily, her multimillionaire husband Roarke’s expertise comes in handy with the number crunching. But as he mines the crucial data that will break the case wide open, Eve faces an all too real danger in the world of flesh and blood.

I knew I liked the previous (first) J.D. Robb “In Death” book I read, but forgot why until I started this one. Lieutenant Eve Dallas is the ultimate cop of the future. These books are fun, suspenseful and well written. Although longer than some, they keep me engaged from beginning to end. I look forward to reading more.
4.5 stars?
I think the mystery wasn't too difficult to figure out. Had I not been reading while distracted I would have figured it out sooner.
Eve and Roarke being afraid of the babies and birth continued to be funny to me– I love that they have such a weakness, yet for their friends overcome it.
Not too much into their pasts with this one, which is a nice reprieve.
Still a great series.
