Delusion in Death by J.D. Robb is the 35th book in the “In Death” mystery series. Publisher: Putnam, September 2012
It was just another after-work happy-hour bar
downtown, where business professionals unwound with a few drinks . . .until
something went terribly wrong. And after twelve minutes of chaos and violence,
eighty people lay dead. Lieutenant Eve Dallas is trying to sort out the
inexplicable events. Surviving witnesses talk about seeing things—monsters and
swarms of bees. They describe sudden, overwhelming feelings of fear and rage
and paranoia. When forensics gives its report, the mass delusions make more
sense: It appears the bar patrons were exposed to a cocktail of chemicals and
illegal drugs that could drive anyone to temporary insanity—if not kill them
outright. But that doesn’t explain who would unleash such horror—or why.
And if Eve can’t figure it out fast, it could happen again, anytime, anywhere.
Because it’s airborne.
Someone is spreading an airborne poison and it’ll be up to Eve and her team to nip this in the bud and what a job they do in narrowing down the suspect. Eve and her team are on the hunt and the best part is watching Eve commit the killer to confessing in a fast paced mode to thwart another incidence. As always the suspense kept me turning the pages and it was fun seeing the gang, especially Peabody, do what they do best with assistance from our favorite civilian consultant, Roarke. Nadine, Mavis and even Belle make a wonderful appearance. I love this series and I can’t wait for the next thrilling adventures with Lieutenant Eve Dallas.
