Product Description:
Ancient church rituals meet cutting- edge crime solving in the latest novel in the #1 New York Times–bestselling series that’s “Law & Order: SVU—in the future” (Entertainment Weekly).
In the year 2060, sophisticated investigative tools can help catch a killer. But there are some questions even the most advanced technologies cannot answer.
Ridley Pearson has praised J. D. Robb’s suspense as “taut” and “nerve-jangling.” Her latest thriller sets a new standard for suspense, as the priest at a Catholic funeral mass brings the chalice to his lips—and falls over dead.
When Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas confirms that the consecrated wine contained potassium cyanide, she’s determined to solve the murder of Father Miguel Flores, despite her discomfort with her surroundings. It’s not the bodegas and pawnshops of East Harlem that bother her, though the neighborhood is a long way from the stone mansion she shares with her billionaire husband, Roarke. It’s all that holiness flying around at St. Christobal’s that makes her uneasy.
A search of the victim’s sparsely furnished room reveals little— except for a carefully hidden religious medal with a mysterious inscription, and a couple of underlined Bible passages. The autopsy reveals more: faint scars of knife wounds, a removed tattoo—and evidence of plastic surgery, suggesting that “Father Flores” may not have been the man his parishioners had thought. Now, as Eve pieces together clues that hint at gang connections and a deeply personal act of revenge, she believes she’s making progress on the case. Until a second murder—in front of an even larger crowd of worshippers—knocks the whole investigation sideways. And Eve is left to figure out who committed these unholy acts—and why.

Not sure if I am reviewing service or book. Service was excellent - book in excellent condition, packaged well and received promptly. As for the book - I collect every title (and I have ALL of JDRobb's) that is issued.
Love the series and am always looking for next one out.

I purchased this gift as a book for a woman who is like a second mother to me. She loved it. But then she reads everything this author writes. She said she thinks this was one of the best ones yet.

This book had little to no development. The book dragged in places. I hope that future books have something more...like a revelation or something...If I wasn't a die hard fan, and this was the first book I read by this author, it would be the last book I read by her. However, there was enough of a progression to keep me coming back for more with the hope that the next book will bring back the "I can't go to bed until I finish this book" feeling I have gotten from previous books.

Yes, I bought the hardback, and probably will continue to buy books in this series, all with a hope that there will be more action....more something. I love this series and have been reading them for years, but they are starting to run together. Outside of the most wonderful characters, the books are becoming redundant. Eve chases killer, asks Roarke for help, Peabody wants to eat, Mira is cool, and McNab wants sex. That's it in a nutshell. The story line was interesting, men of God killed in ... Read More

It took me a while to get into this one. It finally grabbed me but there was really nothing too new about the plot. Easy read - no brainer for a no stress mystery read.
