Book: Survivor in Death

Unremarkable mystery set in the future

This is a mystery written by romance author Nora Roberts, writing under the pen name J.D. Robb. It’s an Eve Dallas mystery, which I think is a series. If you like the other Eve Dallas books then I see no reason you wouldn’t like this one. It was a decent, though unremarkable, mystery. It is set in the future and I can’t figure out why. Nothing about it’s future context does more than add a little novelty. It doesn’t substantially impact the story. Also, Detective Eve Dallas is of course a very wealthy and remarkable woman, as is so common in these ongoing mystery series these days. Yea, it’s not that great a book. But it’s an enjoyable “trashy” read.
