Synopsis: As it often did since he’d married a cop, murder interrupted more pleasant activities. Then again, Roarke supposed, the woman lying in a pool of her own blood a few steps inside the arch of Washington Square Park had a heftier complaint.
When a night out at the theater is interrupted by the murder of a young woman in Washington Square Park, it seems like an ordinary case for Detective Eve Dallas and her team. But when Roarke spots a shadow from his past in the crowd, Eve realizes this case is far from business as usual.
Eve has two complex cases on her hands—the shocking murder of this wealthy young mother and tracking down the shadow before he can strike again, this time much closer to home. Eve is well used to being the hunter, but how will she cope when the tables are turned? As Eve and the team follow leads to Roarke’s hometown in Ireland, the race is on to stop the shadow from making his next move…
It’s an amazing thing when over two decades and fifty-one books, a series is still as fresh as its debut. If you’ve followed me for any length of time you know what a fan of the In Death series I am, and Shadows in Death is an excellent example of why.
In this latest outing, the antagonist is revealed early on, but in no way does that take away from the suspense. While every case becomes personal to homicide detective Eve Dallas, this villain is from Roarke’s past, making the stakes even higher than usual. Because I have become so attached to “Team Eve” over the years, I was biting my nails the entire time I was reading this. There was actually a little less action here than in some of the previous books, but while getting more glimpses of Roarke’s nightmarish childhood, there was this menacing air hanging over everything which steadily builds until the exciting conclusion that brings together the NYPD, Interpol, and Roarke’s family in Ireland. I absolutely loved it and finished this in one sitting despite my best efforts to draw things out. If you’re new to the In Death series, you could jump in with Shadows in Death, but you’ll get so much more out of these wonderful characters and their backstories if you start with the first book, Naked in Death. I know that with 51 books now, that’s a bit of a commitment, but believe me, this series is worth it. For longtime fans, I believe you’ll find this to be an exciting and worthy addition. I’m now counting down the days until Faithless in Death comes out on February 2nd, 2021 (the day before my birthday)!
