More than a few....starting with more Robb

The only timeI have to read for myself is after I go to bed...... Unfortuantely (or not so unfortunately) I have not been able to sleep for the past couple of days. This gives me lots of time to read. So the next 4 posts are books that have been read in the last 2 days.

Continuing with my desire to read a book that I didn't need to finish is one go, I started (and finished) the next In Death Novel:

Book Info: Rapture In Death by J.D. Robb; first published by Berkely in 1996.

Eve and Rourke are yet again thrown into the grizzly world of death. This time it is while the coupling is honeymooning off planet. By the end of the book the cost is 4 lives, including the murderers. Sorry... that is a bit of a spoiler but I don't tell you who the killer is. Especially since this one has you guessing all over the place.

There are fun moments: Mavis' singing career takes off, plenty of witty banter between Roarke and Eve, and Peabody gets to go into interview again which allows for  more witty banter. Conversely there are not so fun moments:  Dr. Mira gets her feelings hurt, Eve and Peabody almost get blown up, and Roarke worries. We also catch a glimpse of a new side of Roarke... or should I say an old side that has been carefully hidden. His upbringing comes to the front in a way I didn't expect... or had forgotten about.
