I'm a huge fan of the In Death Series! These mysteries are absolutely fantastic, combining romance and humor in such a captivating way. The narrator, Susan Ericksen, is absolutely incredible. Her talent for remembering and portraying the unique voices of each character is mind-blowing.
I absolutely adored every aspect of this book and its author. It left me constantly craving for more. It really helps me pass the time during long journeys.
Although the main character can be challenging to warm up to at times, the plot of this book is intriguing and will surely hold your attention. Speaking of the main character, Eve has become more likable compared to the early books in the series where she was incredibly rude, unpleasant, and lacked a sense of humor even towards those who cared for her, causing some discomfort. Another minor annoyance is that regardless of her rudeness, the other characters always seem to find her actions acceptable and warranted. If you can overlook these aspects and have a fondness for murder mysteries, you'll certainly enjoy this book. However, the true brilliance lies in Susan Erickson's narration, as she brings the characters to life. There are moments when I feel like I can't bear any more of the main character's sarcastic remarks and the lack of mutual respect, but Erickson's performance always drags me back into the story.
Sometimes she can be really mean, to the point where you actually feel sorry for the person she's interrogating. It kinda bothers me that she's like that.

I've always been a fan of Nora Roberts and I absolutely adore the In Death books. When I realized that I had missed a few in the series, I decided to start rereading them from the beginning.

Each book evokes a range of emotions from me - I find myself shedding a few tears, laughing, and even searching for someone like Roarke on the streets.
