Book Review: Promises In Death by J.D. Robb

Amarylis Coltraine may have recently transferred to the New York City police force from Atlanta, but she's been a cop long enough to know how to defend herself against an assailant. When she's taken down just steps away from her apartment, killed with her own weapon, for Eve the victim isn't just 'one of us.'

Dallas's friend Chief Medical Examiner Morris and Coltraine had started a serious relationship, and from all accounts the two were headed for a happy future together. But someone has put an end to all that. After breaking the news to Morris, Eve starts questioning everyone from Coltraine's squad, informants, and neighbors, while Eve's husband, Roarke, digs into computer data on Coltraine's life back in Atlanta. To their shock, they discover a connection between this case and their own painful, shadowy pasts.

The truth will need to be uncovered one layer at a time, starting with the box that arrives at Cop Central addressed to Eve containing Coltraine's guns, badge, and a note from her killer: 'You can have them back. Maybe someday soon, I'll be sending yours to somebody else.'

But Eve Dallas doesn't take too kindly to personal threats, and she is going to break this case, whatever it takes. And that's a promise.

Promises in Death by J.D. Robb
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
ANother great book of this series. Amarylis Coltraine is a cop in NY, after being transferred from Atlanta. She is killed in her apartment building with her own weapons.Chief Medical examiner, Morris, had a relationship with her and is devastated and wants justice for her murder. As Dallas and Peabody investigate her murder they also question the squad she works for and some do not like being questioned. We also find out that Amarylis had a 2 year relationship with someone in Atlanta before she moved to NY. Not only that but the man ended up coming to NY. So maybe he wasn't quiet done with her.
During this time Dallas is also supposed to be helping a friend with her bachlorette party and bridal shower. Which if you are a fan of this series you know she does not do girly things like this. So much fun watching her squirm during this time as well.
