Average rating4.2
In Faithless in Death, the new Eve Dallas police thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts, what looked like a lover’s quarrel turned fatal has bigger—and more terrifying—motives behind it... The scene in the West Village studio appears to be classic crime-of-passion: two wineglasses by the bed, music playing, and a body with a bashed-in head. But when Dallas tracks down the wealthy Upper East Side woman who called 911, the details don’t add up. Gwen Huffman is wealthy, elegant, tearful over the trauma of finding the body—but why did it take an hour to report it? And why is she lying about little things? As Eve and her team look into it, they find that the lies go well beyond murder—and soon they’re getting the FBI involved in a case that involves a sinister, fanatical group and a stunning criminal conspiracy...

Once Eve started going on the Big Deal Murders she really didn't stop, huh. We jumped pretty smoothly from killings to like...secret clone children being raised, trained, and sold to the highest bidder, massive conspiracies spanning years and tons of people. Not complaining, I enjoy the enormous conspiracies, but it's interesting remembering the earlier books.
3.5 stars. Starts with one murder and then the case expands to go much broader and deeper, with shades of Scientology, [b:The Handmaid's Tale 38447 The Handmaid's Tale (The Handmaid's Tale, #1) Margaret Atwood https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1578028274l/38447.SY75.jpg 1119185], and our own far-right nutjobs. Lost me a little towards the end, when the interesting, individual interactions with witnesses/victims/suspects gave way to a large-scale, multi-front battle against a Big Bad. Not as personal as the previous book, [b:Shadows in Death 49127524 Shadows in Death (In Death, #51) J.D. Robb https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1582893294l/49127524.SY75.jpg 74580837], but they can't all put Dallas or Roarke at risk. The book is enlivened by a few milestones for some of our beloved secondary characters, but sadly there's still no clue about the identify of the Candy Thief.
This one was SUCH a good addition. I love how we get to see side characters' living moving on, nothing is static, and all the while crimes are committed and the bad guys are always taken down. Definitely a comfort read.
