Eve is put to the test....

Book Info: Conspiracy in Death by J.D. Robb. Originally published by Bereklwy in 1999

For Eve 2059 has started and with it another case. This time she is searching for a murderer who is killing what others are considereing the useless. Bodies of the homeless and LC's are found in various cities with organs missing.  One of the top surgeons is cutting them out and leaving the “donors” to die. This means we get to meet the medical elite. Unfortunately, Eve’s determination gets her in trouble. First a droid is sent to kill her.... and when that doesn’t succeed the murderer goes after her professionally. Using a cop who is mentally unstable, Eve’s career is jeopardized.

 Points of interest: Charles and Peabody are still dating, though McNabb is well I wouldn’t call it pining... though he is definitely interested. Eve also looses her badge at one point in the novel during an investigation of her actions towards another cop. For a person who built her entire identity around being a cop, this is a devastating blow. And finally we get to meet Dr. Louise Dimatto. Baxter also appears in his first major role.

 I think this means our reoccurring cast of characters have all been introduced.
 Going forward we will have:

  • Lieutenant Eve Dallas 
  • Roarke 
  • Lawrence Summerset 
  • Officer Delia Peabody
  • Captain Ryan Feeney
  • Detective Ian McNabb 
  • Officer Troy Trueheart 
  • Officer David Baxter 
  • Commander Whitney (and His wife Anna) 
  •  Chief Tibble 
  •  Dr. Charlotte Mira (though her husband Dennis has yet to make an appearance and he will appear repeatedly as well. 
  • Charles Monroe
  • Dr. Louise Dimatto 
  • Mavis Freestone 
  • Leonardo 
  • Nadine Furst

There will be other characters as that we see more than once, but I believe these are our main core.
