Mo's Reviews > Kindred in Death

A brutal murder takes place in New York and Dallas is called in to be the chief investigator. It is also one of their own, i.e., a cop's daughter, so there is more pressure on her than usual to solve the crime.

Another good story. Roarke is by her side, as usual, to lend his support and help. I just feel all my reviews are starting to sound the same!

“He’d walked into her life, and everything had changed. He’d found her; she’d found him—and all those dark places inside both of them had gotten a little smaller, a little brighter.”

Eve: "She completely eye-fucked you."

Roarke: "I know. I feel so cheap and used."

Eve: "Shit. You got off on it. Men always do."

Roarke: "True enough, which is why we're so often cheap and used.”

Sweet ending for another couple in the book.

Her eyes met Roarke's. And there, she thought, right there was the reason for this. The reason for the flowers and the pomp, the fuss and the formality.
There was love.
Only you, she remembered. She'd walked to him on a summer day once before, and he'd seen only her.
He smiled at her as he had when she'd walked down a white runner to an arbor of white roses toward him.
As it had then, her heart gave one quick leap.
Sometimes, she thought as she took her place, turned, life could be pretty damn perfect ...

Only downside was Eve's claim to not know who "The Boss" is!!! Shock! Horror! As Ira says,
"How could she not know him. She was 'Born in the USA'"!
