OK. Who wrote this book? Because it definitely does NOT read like any other in the 'Death' series. I read the whole book and reread the previous two just to make sure I was not dreaming my reaction. (And I've followed Dallas from the very beginning!) So what stars I gave are for the plot points and NOT the writing.
The premise reflects Robb's usual plot line. However, it reads like she gave the description to a lackey and went on vacation, or she would have caught the differences. The pacing is very different. The behavior does not fit (or even evolve from) past behavior. And the dialogue reads cruder (in more ways than one) and choppy.
The short of this review is ...
Unless Robb/Roberts has a split personality we've never encountered before, be prepared for someone else's writing style with our usual crew.

What happened at the end??
I think that JD Robb started writing another book and forgot to finish this one.
Why didn't her publisher send it back and say "girl, you have to give it to the guy who planned it all better than this"
She gives it to the "tool" but the greedy rich man is just skipped, which made this book flop at the end.
What a disappointment.
