Homicide Detective Eve Dallas hunts a killer who turns a wedding party into a murder scene in the next novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling author, J.D. Robb, Passions in Death.
On a hot August night, Lt. Eve Dallas and her husband, Roarke, speed through the streets of Manhattan to the Down and Dirty club, where a joyful, boisterous pre-wedding girls’ night out has turned into a murder scene. One of the brides lies in a pool of blood, garroted in a private room where she was preparing a surprise for her fiancée—two scrimped and saved-for tickets to Hawaii.
Despite the dozens of people present, useful witnesses are hard to come by. It all brings back some bad memories for Eve who once suffered an assault in the very same room—but she’d been able to fight back and survive. She’d gotten justice. And now she needs to provide some for poor young Erin.
Eve knows that the level of violence and the apparent premeditation involved suggest a volatile mix of hidden, heated passion and ice-cold calculation. This is a crime that can be countered only by hard detective work and relentless dedication—and Eve will not stop until she finds the killer who destroyed this couple’s dreams before the honeymoon even began…

Solid entry in the seemingly endless In Death series. The victim meets her grisly end at her own bachelorette party, and the suspects are mostly members of the would-be brides' friendship group. This gives Eve Dallas a chance to muse about the many friends she has made whilst solving various murders (yes, even Trina the predatory hairstylist). The strange coincidence that the killing takes place in the same room where Dallas took down a Bad Guy the night before her own wedding to gazillionaire Roarke is an opportunity to marvel at her fortune in marrying a man who cares enough to feed her omelets that contain plenty of cheese to cover up the taste of healthy but yucky spinach. Plus he just bought her an entire building to turn into a cop bar. Note: According to the In Death timeline, Eve met Roarke in February 2058 ([b:Naked in Death 479309 Naked in Death (In Death, #1) J.D.

So in a little more than three years, Eve has solved 59 major cases, or almost 20 per year. Pretty impressive, although not as remarkable as the fact that when #60 [b:Bonded in Death 211004040 Bonded in Death (In Death, #60) J.D.
