In this 40th entry (after
Festive in Death) of Robb's "In Death" series, a serial killer is leaving Lt. Eve Dallas fan mail along with the corpses of Eve's supposed enemies. The killer is organized enough (or has enough insider knowledge) to leave no clues behind, though, and Eve is forced to think of all the people now in her life who might become the next target. When the noose tightens on the killer, Eve is stunned to realize that the culprit is someone she should recognize but doesn't until it is nearly too late.
VERDICT Robb's take on the thriller trope of the obsessed fan is chilling and well done. A treat for series fans, this suspenseful novel, set in a near-future New York City, also provides enough backstory for newcomers. Highly recommended. [See Prepub Alert, 8/11/14.]
