Vendetta in Death by J.D. Robb

Vendetta in Death by J.D. Robb - 356 pages

Eve Dallas has a new murderer to hunt.  Lady Liberty is killing men who have wronged women -- rapists, cheats, abusers.  While she believes she knows who the killer is, she has to find proof before she can make an arrest.  Will she find it before another man is killed?

This is the latest Eve Dallas mystery by Nora Roberts.  It was another great entry in the series.  This book focused almost exclusively on the mystery rather than including a side plot about the personal lives of the characters.  It was also interesting that you found yourself (and the various characters) sympathizing with the murderer rather than the victims quite a bit throughout the book.  I would definitely suggest this to those who have enjoyed the Dallas books in the past.

Victims, Part 1 by Preston Lingle

Victims, Part 1 by Preston Lingle, 265 pages

If you like the Divergent series, you will enjoy this book by my coworker Preston Lingle.  Victims is the first in what I hope will be a series.  In Part 1, we learn the world has come to an end in the future in about the year 2030.  In the future the end of world is called the Fallout.  Very few humans survive the Fallout as well as most buildings collapse.  The book follows teenager Mike as he runs away from his father, and finds refuge with a group of orphans.  The teens are left to fight for their survival and plan for the over throw of what's left of their government.

Brotherhood in Death by J.D. Robb

Brotherhood in Death by J.D. Robb - 591 pages

Eve Dallas has one of her most disturbing cases ever.  It seems a group of friends who attended college together 30 years ago are being targeted for torture and death.  The reasons behind these crimes almost makes her sympathize with the murderers.

This is the latest in the Eve Dallas series by J.D. Robb, the pseudonym of Nora Roberts.  It was a great entry into the series.  It was probably the book that humanized Dallas the most with ties to her friends and her past.  I listened to this on audio and the narration was excellent.
