I can't remember if there's ever been an ‘In Death' case like this one. Dallas & Peabody know who their killer is almost right away and it's not a matter of collecting evidence, but finding where he's holed up.
Reinhold was a pretty good villain. Super gross and annoying, I couldn't wait for him to get his and it was a pretty satisfying conclusion.
At one point in the beginning Eve mentions that the year is 2060 and going back, the first book Naked in Death took place in 2058 so less than 2 years have passed! It feels like much longer than that. While sometimes you get the feeling that these cases are back to back it seems like there's longer breaks between some, but I guess not. Then again, Mavis & Leonardo's kid is a good measure of how much time has passed. She's just barely walking and talking!
There were some sentimental moments here. The acknowledgement of Eve & Roarke's hard work and their support of her team, not to mention Roarke's family and the appearance of a character from tons of books ago!
Now seriously, when is Eve going to have a kid? Or Peabody, when are Peabody and McNab going to get married? Something's got to happen there, right?!
