Imitation in Death by J.D. RobbMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A serial killer is murdering women by imitation--a prostitute in an alley, a la the Ripper; a older widow living alone by strangulation, a la the Boston Strangler. Who is he? There are several possibles , all with strong indications they could be the one. Dallas likes first one but Peabody likes another for the crime. Then Peabody changes her mind when new information is revealed. One of the most frustrating of the In Death series for me. That is until I listened to the spewing language of the enranged killer as he tried a Ted Bundy on her and didn't succeed. He had to scurry off, defeated and blinded by the spray she managed, despite her beating, to apply to his eyes.
I knew then who it was but Dallas, who tells Roarke she knows , too, doesn't have anything that will stick. They will have to set a trap. And, as always, Eve Dallas gets the perp with a little help from her friends and that sexy husband of hers. PS--I missed Somerset--really needs to be more of him, he's such a delight.
Bring on the next case
