Creation in Death by J.D. Robb

Creation in Death by J.D. Robb is another Eve Dallas mystery. This one focuses on a serial killer how has returned to New York. He likes to see how long his victims can survive his cruelty and leaves them for the police to find with the length of time they survived.

Eve knows that he has targeted his next victim and must find her before her time is up. Added to the time ticking away is that the killer seems to involve Roarke by using products from his company and the latest victims work for him.

I've been reading the In Death series for many years and look forward to each new book. Creation gives us a look at Eve under pressure of time and knows the killer has her in his sights. Reading Robb's In Death books are coming back to characters I'm very familiar with and enjoy seeing work together to solve the mystery.
