About this ebook
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER (February 2019)
Lieutenant Eve Dallas fights to save the innocent—and serve justice to the guilty—on the streets of New York in Connections in Death, the gritty and gripping new In Death novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author J.D. Robb.
Homicide cop Eve Dallas and her billionaire husband, Roarke, are building a brand-new school and youth shelter. They know that the hard life can lead kids toward dangerous crossroads—and with this new project, they hope to nudge a few more of them onto the right path. For expert help, they hire child psychologist Dr. Rochelle Pickering—whose own brother pulled himself out of a spiral of addiction and crime with Rochelle’s support.
Lyle is living with Rochelle while he gets his life together, and he’s thrilled to hear about his sister’s new job offer. But within hours, triumph is followed by tragedy. Returning from a celebratory dinner with her boyfriend, she finds Lyle dead with a syringe in his lap, and Eve’s investigation confirms that this wasn’t just another OD. After all his work to get clean, Lyle’s been pumped full of poison—and a neighbor with a peephole reports seeing a scruffy, pink-haired girl fleeing the scene.
Now Eve and Roarke must venture into the gang territory where Lyle used to run, and the ugly underground world of tattoo parlors and strip joints where everyone has taken a wrong turn somewhere. They both believe in giving people a second chance. Maybe even a third or fourth. But as far as they’re concerned, whoever gave the order on Lyle Pickering’s murder has run out of chances...

I will always love the In Death series, and will always read them when they come out. However, I am finding they are starting to drag a bit. The storylines are just a touch drab. It's not necessarily that they're being repeated, although after, what, 48 books you'd think they would overlap some. It's more that the excitement is going. They seem to be getting shorter and way too predictable. I truly do think it's time JD Robb (Nora Roberts) maybe take a break from the In Death books. Let some time pass between them. Find a storyline that will thrill us again, keep us on the hook until we find out what happens at the very end. All those things that are missing now. While I do love Roarke (who doesn't?), and will always love the personalities of Eve, Peabody, McNab, Feeney and the rest and there are so many to love in these books, I don't want to reach a point where I cringe at the thought of another In Death book. This one is about something close to any inner city's heart; gangs. Eve and crew come across a murder that sparks a whole investigation into 2 separate gangs and all their affiliates. A little predictable in the way it goes. But I'll leave that to each of you to decide. I need more, Nora, or I guess I need a vacation from them. I'm sorry to have reached this point as I own and have read every single one of the books in this series, but here I am and I'm hoping your hear me when I say, keep the love alive by giving it time to come up with something fresh. Please.

Being raised pre-gang, this one let me go now and then, but was no doubt riveting for those in the situation. Still, it was Eve & Roark!
