I never thought I would be bored by a J.D. Robb novel, but much of Thankless in Death is a snore. Too many scenes from the killer's POV with needless violence and gore, and too many familiar scenes that have been done better in other installments of the series (Roarke and Eve make earth-shattering love, Eve doesn't want to hear about Peabody and McNabb's love life, etc.) that had me skimming through the pages or even worse, putting the book down. The book does pick up some steam towards the end, and there's a nice professional development for Eve. Also, I would have to be made of stone to be unaffected by the Thanksgiving dinner that closes the book with Roarke's family members and Nixie, the young girl whose family was killed in Survivor in Death. But overall, one of my least favorite In Death books. I hope this is only a blip, not the start of a downward trend, but even a great series like this should end eventually.
