Delusion in Death by J.D. Robb is the 35th book in the “In Death” suspense series. Publisher: Putnam, September 2012
It was just another after-work happy-hour bar downtown, where business professionals unwound with a few drinks . . .until something went terribly wrong. And after twelve minutes of chaos and violence, eighty people lay dead.
Lieutenant Eve Dallas is trying to sort out the inexplicable events. Surviving witnesses talk about seeing things—monsters and swarms of bees. They describe sudden, overwhelming feelings of fear and rage and paranoia. When forensics gives its report, the mass delusions make more sense: It appears the bar patrons were exposed to a cocktail of chemicals and illegal drugs that could drive anyone to temporary insanity—if not kill them outright.
But that doesn’t explain who would unleash such horror—or why. And if Eve can’t figure it out fast, it could happen again, anytime, anywhere. Because it’s airborne. . .
Someone is spreading an airborne poison and it’ll be up to Eve and her team to nip this in the bud and what a job they do in narrowing down the suspect. Eve and her team are on the hunt and the best part is watching Eve commit the killer to confessing in a fast paced mode to thwart another incidence. As always the suspense kept me turning the pages and it was fun seeing the gang, especially Peabody, do what they do best with assistance from our favorite civilian consultant, Roarke. Nadine, Mavis and even Belle make a wonderful appearance. I love this series and I can’t wait for the next thrilling adventures with Lieutenant Eve Dallas.
This is one of my favorite series. I’m only about 6 chapters into this one and i’m already completely hooked… as always.
Oh, boy. I love this series and am looking forward to this next one.
One of my favs too…Dee
WOW! This is the 35th book in the series. Very impressive! I’ve never read J.D. Robb. I think it’s time I got started! Thanks for the post.
Just finished it! It was as great as the first J. D. Robb novel. Eve just becomes a better defined character with each novel! Kudos to this amazing author!
