Apprentice in Death by J.D. Robb
3.0
Normally I am not bothered by events in a book and how they relate to real life events. But I will be honest and say I had a hard time reading this one because it was about snipers and mass shootings and that’s been so prevalent in the news recently. That being said I still enjoyed the book and I guess you could say that my disturbance with the book just proves how well JD Robb wrote it.
I’ve been reading these books for several years now and I always love reading about Eve, Roarke, Peabody and the whole gang. This was a very serious case and time was very important so there wasn’t a whole lot of personal time for Eve and Roarke but we still got to see the evolution of Eve’s new office and through that just how much Roarke loves her.
Summerset also played a more active role outside of just butler/assistant to Roarke and it was interesting to read. Bella’s (Mavis and Leonardo’s child) first birthday party was really cute and a good end to the book.
I would have liked more personality in Peabody in this one. I felt she was more secondary than usual and rather subdued in her actions and words. I don’t know if it was because of the case they were on or if Robb just didn’t put the same effort into her story line like she normally does.
