" Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: September 24, 2007 At 27 books and counting, Nora Roberts is more prolific under her Robb pseudonym than most authors manage in a single career. Yet the latest in her not-so-near-future detective series featuring New York Police Det. Eve Dallas offers a satisfyingly novel mé,ange of suspense, sex, forensics and heroics. It', 2060, and the serial killer nicknamed “,he Groom”,is back in town after an absence of nine years, resuming his horrific run of kidnapping, torturing and killing young women. Dallas, who served as a detective in the frustrating first investigation, assumes lead role in this one. This time, not only do the killer', chosen victims have ties to Dallas', husband, Roarke, but Dallas herself may be the killer', ultimate target. Swiftly paced, the story cuts frequently from the investigation to the killer', “,rogress”,with his victims. Dallas works to outplan, outfight and outsmart the killer,to keep her handsome, rich husband happy,and to be ready for the next round after a good night', sleep. Robb', latest is bound to please Dallas fans."
