#79 - Creation In Death by JD Robb

Listening to the adventures of Eve Dallas on audio is like wrapping yourself in an old stretched out sweatshirt with a cup of coffee.  The characters are warm and familiar and never waiver from the persona set up for them 25 books earlier.  There's something to be said for that.

In this installment, "The Groom" a killer from nine years ago resurfaces in New York with a new agenda and his signature moves of torture and tattoos. Yes, it was predictable. Yes, there were moments of unnecessary drama built in.  Yes, I still have a literary crush on Roarke and his Irish brutishness.

That about sums it up.  A solid addition to the Dallas serial but nothing to jump up and get crazy about.
