54 books in, and I still love Dallas and Roarke as much as book 1.

You would think that by now, JD Robb would have run out of ways to kill a person. Each time I am sure I am going to be able to guess whodunnit.

But nope, every time I am just as surprised as the first time.

Dallas is at her cop-best, Peabody her butt-wiggling finest, and Roarke is... well, Roarke just is - and is just fabulous.

I am not always a fan of books with flashback scenes, however this time it was a great way to get to know our protaganist and how they got to where they are today.

I also enjoyed getting snippets of secondary characters that we have come to know and love over the years, and seeing where they are at in their lives.

Bring on book 55!
