This book is not your typical J.D. Robb offering.

It lacks the usual detail Robb routinely offers while fleshing out her characters, but then, it was only intended as part of an anthology. Since I did not read the story when it was first published, I appreciated having it made available so I could fill in the blanks with information that was referenced in more recent publications. I enjoy all of Robb's characters so much that I feel like I know them personally. Midnight in Death is too short to give you that intimate look into the lives of Eve's friends and co-workers, and could disappoint fans who are looking for the regular fare, but it is a good read, nevertheless!! I'd also like to recommend reading Tino Georgiou's masterpiece--The Fates--if you haven't yet!

A Very Eve and Roarke Christmas

Firstly, you should know that this story has been available as part of the Silent Night anthology, just to save some of you from buying it twice! Admittedly this is a nice and inexpensive addition for anyone who only wants the short story to slot onto their In Death shelf on the bookcase. Midnight in Death takes place between Holiday and Conspiracy In Death. Even on Boxing Day, Eve can't catch a break when a perp she locked away years ago escapes from prison. His mission is to punish all those in the justice system who took away his freedom, naturally Eve is high on his list, but unfortunately so is Dr Mira NYSPD's crack psychologist and profiler. This is a short- so the mystery and detective work is much lesser than normal and there's barely a chance to establish tension, but the character touches more than make up for that.
Eve's relationship with Mira is really strengthened in this one and we see how much both she and Roarke have come to care for her. Plus we get to see what all the characters got as Christmas presents. Definitely good value for money- she also plans to release her other In Death short Interlude (Out of this World anthology) in a similar stand alone format just wish they would do this with the new stories coming out.

midnight in death
|
I love the Eve Dallas series and have all the books . My husband bought me this one as a surprise not seeing the title on the shelf. However this is a short story in "Silent Night".
It is a great story on its own as with all j d robb's books.
it fits between Holiday In Death and Conspiracy In Death.
