The best thing about this book is that it didn't end the way I was expecting and that made me totally happy because I am a little bit fed up with the bad guys always trying to kill somebody near Dallas. So I appreciated this book also because it is not easy write the 47th book in a series and still having a lot of people waiting for it to be published!

La cosa migliore di questo libro resta secondo me il finale, ma non perché sia spettacolare o inaspettato, ma perché almeno stavolta non vengono coinvolti gli amici di Dallas, come invece tutto lasciava presupporre, e io questo l'ho apprezzato tantissimo. Inoltre non é mica facile scrivere il 47esimo libro di una serie ed avere ancora un sacco di lettori!

Well written and engaging futuristic crime drama with a few too many unexplained acronyms.

3.5 stars, for some seriously cute emotional moments.

The crime, like often, shows a part of humanity that isn't so fun to look at. But the ties between the characters--friends, partners, significant others--show love and a desire for a better world.

JD Robb never disappoints with the fast pace of her novels. The books are eminently enjoyable and still enough time for character development and movement forward.

The latest installment is no exception. Overly caffeinated Peabody may have been my favorite part. The mystery itself isn’t all that interesting and how she solves it is even less interesting - as it seemed more guesswork and hunches than anything else.

Meh.

I don't know why I picked this one up - mostly just habit, I guess. These stories have been retreading the same ground for awhile, but are okay in a "I feel like cotton candy / funnel cake" kind of way. This one was egregiously bad about reusing previous story elements, though - I would guess that some of the sentences (and possibly paragraphs) are actually just flat out lifted from earlier stories.
