Betrayal in Death by J.D. Robb
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The In Death series never fails me-it is like a new episode in a favorite procedural TV program. There is the hard-nosed female detective, Dallas, her handsome IRISH billionaire husband, Rourke, Feeney, the old timer and mentor to Dallas, McNab the young, free-spirited internet expert, Peabody, Dallas' young uniformed cop. The romance between Dallas and Rourke is hot and the budding one between McNab and Peabody fraught with resistance to commitment. Happily, unlike most of the TV shows there is no really far out comic character, a la Abby or those two dimwits in NCIS:LA. There is, however, the dour butler, whom Rourke loves and cherishes and whom Dallas would love to see fired. The conflict between him and Dallas over Rourke is really funny to me, if not to them. Dallas always gets the bad guy but there is always a dangerous situation in which she or Rourke are threatened.
Looking forward to the next episode.
