Review: Kindred in Death by J.D. Robb

Woohoo, I was able to survive the mini-symposium and I did not fall asleep - a miracle! It helped that they did not turn off the lights, so I was able to read :) The only thing is that it ran late - an hour late :( It sucks that we have to attend these events in my opinion, especially when it's so focused on clinical stuff.

Ah well, it's over :D

By the way, Happy Thanksgivings to all American bloggers! I hope you'll enjoy your holiday! :D

In the meantime, I have a buddy review up at Breezing Through. This time, my buddy reviewer is Tabitha from Tabz Book Blog - Just Another Readeraholic and we're reviewing Kindred in Death by J.D. Robb. You can find our review here.


Kindred in Death by J.D. Robb
published by Putnam in November 2009 (HC)

When the newly promoted captain of the NYPSD and his wife return a day early from their vacation, they were looking forward to spending time with their bright and vivacious sixteen-year-old daughter who had stayed behind.

Not even their worst nightmares could have prepared them for the crime scene that awaited them instead. Brutally murdered in her bedroom, Deena's body showed signs of trauma that horrified even the toughest of cops; including our own Lieutenant Eve Dallas, who was specifically requested by the captain to investigate.

When the evidence starts to pile up, Dallas and her team think they are about to arrest their perpetrator; little do they know yet that someone has gone to great lengths to tease and taunt them by using a variety of identities. Overconfidence can lead to careless mistakes. But for Dallas, one mistake might be all she needs to bring justice.
