Just a reminder to those of you who might be J.D. Robb fans that her new book, Bonded in Death, will be released next Tuesday, February 4. That makes this the perfect time to share another one of Kevin Tipple’s reviews of the books in the In Death series, Faithless in Death. Thank you, Kevin.

The paperwork after the events in Shadows in Death is incredible and never ending in Faithless
in Death by J.D. Robb. It is the spring of 2061 and Lieutenant Eve Dallas of the NYPSD came in
early to work the numbers. Minutes after she has finished and submitted the reams of paperwork
accounting for everything, she is contacted by dispatch regarding a possible homicide.

When her and her partner, Detective Delia Peabody, arrive on scene, it does not take long for the
pair to determine that there it is most definitely a homicide.

Ariel Byrd, an artist who sculpted, is very much dead. The back of her head is caved in. Probably
by way of the mallet of some sort, on the floor next to her, with visible blood and gray matter on
it. She died in her studio in the West Village.

What is weird is that the 911 call reporting the scene came from a home in the Upper East Side.
Gwendolyne Huffman, known to many as Felicity, called it in. She has an explanation for how
and why she knew that Byrd was dead. But, is her story believable?

What follows is a complicated case that uncovers a horrific situation regarding a cult, sex
trafficking, and a lot more. While the year is 2061, a lot of what is going on in this read
published a few years ago very much resonates in the here and now of 2024.

While the usual caveats apply regarding the character head hopping, that soon falls away as the
police procedural read grabs and does not let go. Faithless in Death by J.D. Robb is another
entertaining and good read.

My Large Print hardback came from the Vickery Park Branch of the Dallas Public Library
System.
