Going through Paloma's old case files, Miles finds a reference to his deceased daughter and Callisto, somewhere she'd never been. What had Paloma known?

An intriguing mystery with some side characters I'd like to see more of.

Pray for Silence: A Thriller | Linda Castillo

This 2nd book in the Kate Burkholder series is pretty good. I'd rate it higher if it were a standalone but there's a fair amount of repetition from the first book of both Kate's and John's pasts/the effects on them as they investigate current horrific crimes. And the crimes in this book are truly horrific. It was at times difficult reading. I think I will read the 3rd book at some point in hopes that they won't relate as much to the next crimes.

Paloma: A Retrieval Artist Novel | Kristine Kathryn Rusch

so-so

On his return to the Moon after a vacation, Miles Flint receives a message from his mentor begging for help. When he arrives at her apartment he finds she has been murdered and he is one of the main suspects.

Whenever I put this down I felt no strong urge to pick it up again. The Bixians were not present enough to be interesting aliens and without them it was a fairly run-of-the-mill mystery.

Rapture in Death | J D Robb

This post contains spoilers

show me

#IDLR: Ch:16-20: Eve is determined to find her killer and she‘s determined to have that killer be Jess Barrow. True, he‘s a prick who delves too deeply into her and Roarke‘s minds and played games with her and the people she loves - but does that make him a killer? Mira doesn‘t think so and Eve decides to seek a second opinion (how awkward) from Rhianna. But just as she gets the go ahead from Whitney, Eve realizes Rhianna is behind it all. ⬇️

StayCurious Was anyone surprised by this? I was thinking it was both her and William so that was a bit of a surprise, and to think she had no idea about the effects of her experiments on her victims‘ brains. I found this was a very fascinating concept - mind control and the power of suggestion- aren‘t we already seeing hints of that today with advertisers listening in on our conversations through our phones (creepy). ⬇️ (edited) 3d

StayCurious To think what can come of VR gaming in just a few years is a bit worrisome.

This book places an emphasis on Eve, but we also caught glimpses of Roarke‘s darkness and what he does to keep it at bay. I also liked the strengthening of bonds in this book - btw Eve and Peabody, Roarke and Feeney and Roarke and Mavis. I look forward to more of this relationship building in future books. 3d

Librarybelle I had started to get a little suspicious of Reeanna when the case against Jesse fell apart. It was a good red herring! She just seemed too eager to help. What a scary concept - Roberts/Robb wrote a really good thriller!! 3d

ShananigansReads I knew Jess was sus when after we first met him Eve and Roarke lost their minds in the car but he didn't seem like he could pull it all off. It took a bit longer to become suspicious of Rhianna but I blamed her right before Eve realized it. This was such a good installment and so scary.when you think of real life implications. I hope this stays on the pages of books but you never know. 3d

LiseWorks I so agree with the relationship building, and thanks to those members who journeyed with us for this series so far. Can't wait for the next one 3d

TheAromaofBooks I really love our five chapter/week pace because it means when we get to the final five chapters I can just blaze right through to the end 😂 This one got really intense. With a long-standing series like this, the author keeps introducing various secondary characters so at first I thought Rhianna may be one of those. But when the case against Jess started to fall apart, she seemed a little too convenient. I really liked how this book felt more ⬇ 3d

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) futuristic than some of the earlier books, with a murder method that isn't quite within our current society's realm... yet... 2d

I haven't read any other books in the series but I think I will look them up. This was an interesting murder mystery and you're not sure of the killer's identity until near the end. Its clever how everything ties in together. The plot is a steady build up to a clever ending. 3*
