Ritual in Death
is a well paced short story that packs a punch. Eve and Roarke are at a swanky party when a bloody man with a knife stumbles in. Eve has experienced some paranormal things in previous books, and she tends to take a pretty logical and closed minded view about these things, as a general rule. However, Eve wants to be able to defend herself, so she has learned how to block her thoughts from those people sensitive enough to be able to pick up on them. She may be closed minded, but she's not stupid.
The story here moves along quickly and she finds the people responsible and arrests them all in quick order. It's not a typical case for her, but she handles it just fine.
As for the writing elements:
- The plot was different, but good.
- Pacing was well done.
- Prose and dialogue were excellent.
- Character development wasn't developed too much, but it was a short and that was fine.
- World-building was consistent with previous books.
