New York to Dallas / J. D. Robb / 579 pages / R. T. Reviewer's Choice Award

I'm sorry to say that I did not care for this book.  I just wanted it to be finished so I could read something else - something uplifting or fun.  New York to Dallas was scary and depressing.  It is set in the near future (2060) and this setting feels contrived.  Eve Dallas is once again seeking to apprehend Isaac McQueen, a serial rapist and murderer, who has escaped from prison by murdering a guard.  He is after Lt. Dallas who as a rookie was key to his first arrest and incarceration.  The relationship between Dallas and her tycoon husband, Roark, is redeeming and comforting, but not enough to compensate for the terror and fear this book engendered.

"You have to trust, or you're only living half a life.  You have to try to help or even that half is empty."
