Publisher Description

In the year 2060, cutting-edge investigative tools can help catch a killer. But there are some questions even the most advanced technologies cannot answer. . . . At the most solemn moment of a Catholic funeral Mass, the priest brings the chalice to his lips. Seconds later, he is dead on the altar. For the mourners packed into the pews, Father Miguel Flores's sudden demise is an unimaginable shock. When Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas confirms that the consecrated wine contained enough potassium cyanide to kill a rhino, she's prepared to plunge in and find out why, despite her discomfort with her surroundings. It's not the bodegas and pawnshops of East Harlem that bother her; it's all that holiness flying around St. Cristobal's that makes her uneasy. The autopsy reveals scars from knife wounds, a removed tattoo, and evidence of plastic surgery, suggesting "Father Flores" may not have been the man his parishioners thought. Now, as Eve pieces together clues that suggest identity theft, gang connections, and a deeply personal act of revenge, she hopes to track down whoever committed this unholy act. Until a second murder - in front of an even larger crowd of worshippers - knocks the whole investigation sideways. The way Eve sees it, vengeance may be the Lord's business, but if there's going to be any earthly justice in this case, it's up to her.

""Salvation", a bit like "Strangers" before it, moves JD Robb's In Death series into a more traditional detective story mold. Of course it wouldn't be an Eve Dallas story if things didn't get gritty and occasionally disturbing with a heaping dollop of creative profanity. But what we have here is an emphasis on the mystery itself and peeling back the layers until truth is found and justice achieved. Of course I really read these stories for the characters, and Eve, Rourke, Peabody and crew are in top form here. An extremely satisfying read!"

    " I have been reading this series from the beginning. I enjoyed this one the least. I may be burning out on the series. Or I may just be irritated with another secular author knocking Christianity without knowing what they are talking about. Page 189: "Salvation must be earned." The whole point of Christianity is that salvation can NOT be earned. It is a free gift but it was not cheap. Reading about Christians with a derogatory tone from a clueless author really REALLY irks me. "

    " Good mystery in this one. I sometimes feel these books are a little predictable, but this one was good. A couple of secondary storylines that all connect into the main murder investigation. Good Roarke and Eve stuff. My one gripe is that Eve's childhood trauma is starting to be used as a story crutch. Seems like every case is connected to that in some way. Is Roberts stuck in a rut? "

    " Not much new to say about this one. The case involves the murder of a Catholic priest during a funeral rite. Hence the novelty is seeing how Eve and Roarke deal with religion. Let's just say awkwardly. *g* There are also people involved with the case that remind Eve of her childhood and remind Roarke of his. "

    " This one seemed to have a particularly long and involved storyline, especially with the throwing in of the parallel investigation and also the crimes in the past. It introduced some interesting characters as well (including hot priests?). "

    " Perhaps I'll make it through this whole series. She offers a slightly different background for her murder mysteries and that combined with the question often looming what is right from wrong, makes for good quick read. "

    " Dallas does religion..... and not surprisingly with an air if caution. Yet again though, she is in a steep learning curve which leaves her enriched as a person, if more despairing of the inhumanity people can wreak on even their closest allies. As ever, a triumph for Ms Roberts, more power to her. "

    " I like how Eve's softer, more emotional side is coming out in the later books in the In Death Series. Could've used more of it based in Ireland, but that's a personal preference, not a flaw.All in all a good read, hard to put the book down. "

    " This wasn't my favorite Death book. I really liked the beginning, but it lagged big time in the middle, and raced to the finish, and had an abrupt ending. It seemed to take me a long time to read this one. "
