Obsession in Death

One of the absolute best in the series - from beginning to end.

For a bit Obsession in Death dragged terribly for me. She went over and over and over the crime scenes so many times I wanted to scream. I don't know why this time it seemed like too much. I didn't feel like she was doing anything different, but it was repetitive. You see the crime when she sees it. Then she talks it over with Peabody, then Roarke, then Mira then to her board, in her head, and on and on. Like this description.

But then when I felt like this book was going to be my first JD Robb disappointment things got good. I stayed up late into the night because I just couldn't put the book down.

With that being said, it took more than two thirds of the book for me to really get into it. For the first time in the series I considered putting the book down and taking a break for a bit. I guess in 40 books it's not that big of a deal for one to be a dud, but I was still bummed.

Another good addition to the series. Thank goodness, JD Robb/Nora Roberts is such a prolific writer. I can't wait until the next novel.
