Except for this book (the whole series, really) being set in the future, this book is pretty much like all police procedurals.A tough female cop, with a sexy husband. I know this is a very big series of books, but I think just one is enough for me.
This Eve/Roark crime novel has a slow start but becomes much more emotionally compelling by page 150. There's a Russian mob boss who turns out late in the book to be an especially well-drawn and appealing character. Amazing how JD Robb can keep churning out compulsively readable books.
