In this latest installment of the In Death series, Homicide dectective Eve Dallas comes against an enigmatic group of terrorists named Cassandra. With no clear motivation or demands, Cassandra feeds on the thrill of senseless killing and the calculated destruction of Eve's world. Relying on her own brawn and brains, as well as that of her aid Peabody and her husband Roarke, Eve begins to unravel a mystery that began decades before. J.D. Robb's combinations of mystery, suspense, and romance keep the fans of this series clamoring for more, and Loyalty in Death has equal amounts of each. While the passion between Eve and Roarke is as good as ever, the introduction of a new romantic element with secondary charachters certainly turns up the heat. Though the evil-terrorist-in-NYC theme has been done before, these beloved characters put up a good fight, and keep us glued to the pages.
There was only one jolting moment during the reading when there was a mention of the Twin Towers that had me looking to the copyright, but otherwise a very reccomended addition to the series.
