Midnight in Death once again makes things personal for Eve. Very personal. I think I would like to see her solve some crimes that don't draw her into them on such an intimate level.
I'm enjoying the series, but there is an obvious formula that I think is going to bother me if it continues much further. Also, as soon as a saw "the list", I knew how it was going to end -- how the big finale would happen. And I was right.
Eve's name has a made a Christmas list, but it's not for being naughty or nice. It's for putting a serial killer behind bars. Now the escaped madman has her in his sights. With her husband Roarke at her side, Eve must stop the man from exacting his bloody vengeance-or die trying.
This was a quick read, and there was a surprising amount of action and detail in this for such a short piece. I only read the Midnight in Death piece, so that's all I'll be commenting on and rating.
As for the writing elements:
- The plot was a good one.
- Pacing was well done.
- Prose and dialogue were, as always, superb.
- Character development doesn't get expanded too much in this piece, but it's consistent.
- World-building was also consistent.
