"Glory in Death (In Death #2)" by J.D. Robb

Rating: ♣ ♣ ♣

The book wasn't bad but I think it would've worked better as a short story. The way it was, it felt like Eve was continuously going down the wrong road, trying to fit the evidence to her theory instead of adjusting the theory itself which made her look quite biased and frankly, uncaring about how many innocent lives she destroyed in her callous perusal of the killer. She needed a real kick in the teeth to go back to the roots of the problem. And still everybody praised her as the next Jesus, Mary and Joseph of the police department.

Also, my problem is that I don't quite like Eve as a person. Okay, sometimes, I downright dislike her. I get it, she has Issues with a capital I, I get it, I really, really do. It still doesn't give her the right to be rude to people. I love Roarke - he's pretty much a Marty Stu - but Eve... I don't know, most of the time she rubs me the wrong way. Like when she ranted at Roarke, yelling at him instead of just sitting him down and actually talking to him, telling him what was going on, what the problem was. I hate that in couples.
