I made it to book 50 in the In Death series! That is just so many books for one series, I can't quite wrap my mind around it. For her fiftieth book, J. D. Robb presents us with one of the most repugnant killers Eve encounters. I can't think of a takedown that is more satisfying than watching Eve get her perp this time around. The reasons for the murders, the method of killing used, and general attitudes and expectations left me creeped out and raging mad. This isn't a sociopath but rather someone who feels the world owes them. The sense of entitlement is worse than a sociopath's need to kill IMO. GOLDEN IN DEATH is one book that had me actively cheering Eve on through her investigation because I was so incensed by so many of the characters we meet this time around. The fact that Ms. Robb can still make you feel that way after fifty books speaks volumes regarding her writing!
