Rapture in Death by J.D. Robb
4.0

Rourke convinces work-a-holic Eve to take an extended honeymoon and finally gets her off-planet. Alas, as the honeymoon draws closed, a suicide brings Eve right back into the office. When other well-connected people begin suspiciously dying by suicide but with a smile on their face, Eve and Rourke find out there may actually be a murderer on the loose, a murdered that can tap into your fantasies, fantasies that lead to death.

I think I enjoyed the mystery of this book the best so far in the series, and Rourke and Eve are so stupid hot together.

Trigger Warning Spoiler -
SpoilerThere is mind control in this book and there is a scene where Rourke is under control of the murder and rapes Eve. It is brushed off quickly and Eve assures Rourke it wasn't rape, which I find suspect. I don't think a survivor of sexual assault would have gotten over that so quickly. I wish that would have been handled differently because it tainted in otherwise fun book.
