Vendetta in Death: An Eve Dallas Novel (In Death, 49) Hardcover – September 3, 2019
Purchase options and add-ons
Lieutenant Eve Dallas must keep the predator from becoming the prey in Vendetta in Death, the newest thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling author J.D. Robb.
She calls herself Lady Justice. And once she has chosen a man as her target, she turns herself into a tall blonde or a curvaceous redhead, makes herself as alluring and seductive as possible to them. Once they are in her grasp, they are powerless.
The first victim is wealthy businessman Nigel McEnroy. His company’s human resources department has already paid out settlements to a couple of his young victims―but they don’t know that his crimes go far beyond workplace harassment. Lady Justice knows. And in one shocking night of brutality, she makes him pay a much steeper price.
Now Eve Dallas and her husband, Roarke, are combing through the evidence of McEnroy’s secret life. His compulsive need to record his misdeeds provides them with a wide range of suspects, but the true identity of Lady Justice remains elusive. It’s a challenging case, made even more difficult by McEnroy’s widow, who reacts to the investigation with fury, denial, and threats. Meanwhile, Lady Justice’s criminal crusade is escalating rapidly, and if Eve can’t stop this vigilante, there’s no telling how much blood may be spilled…

Fabulous writing and you always find yourself sympathizing and caring about the characters (hating the bad guys but...) and the what happens next. You get invested heavily. I catch myself reading quicker through the suspenseful action parts, as if I'm in the same race as Dallas to save the day.
Love when Dallas or Roark use their position\money\connections to do a good deed for someone. Hope we get a follow-up on those in the next book.
Once again especially with some unexpected news I found that I wished that Dallas would discover a half brother ( that takes after his mother and is a good guy) he could be a little older or younger as Troy could have unknowingly procreated with someone of a one night stand picked up at a bar variety. Ah well maybe one day, I only believe it would be nice to see her with a piece of happy blood/DNA family drama.
Each book in the In Death series is written in the gritty and fast-paced style of Robb. The procedural is nicely developed with clues leading to the killer and the why. Her complex characters continue to develop and reveal more of their personalities.
In addition to the e-book, I also purchased the audio. Susan Eriksen is an excellent narrator. She adds color to every In Death book. I love how each character has a different voice and personality. Love her voice.
Vendetta In Death takes Eve on a hunt to arrest a serial killer. Most of the victims are Harvey Weinstein like. They use their power to harass and hurt women. The killer is determined to make these men pay for their crimes. The only connection Eve can find is a women’s group. She puts the clues together, feeling confident she knows the killer; however, she needs more evidence to convict.
As Eve searches out clues, interaction with her family and friends are sprinkled throughout the procedural. Roarke is on hand for a few swoon-worthy scenes. Their relationship is among my favorites in fiction. I love Mavis, Leonardo, and Bella. Mavis reveals a secret to Eve and a little more about her relationship with Summerset. It is cute to see how Mavis and Bella highlight Summerset’s gentler side.
The other recurring characters make an appearance too. Peabody and Eve have their sometimes amusing, sometimes deep banter we come to expect. Dr. Mira gives her professional and personal support. Baxter, Truehart, and the rest of the squad jump in when needed. In other words, Vendetta is a wonderfully plotted Dallas experience.
I enjoyed Vendetta, however it is slightly reminiscent of a previous book, Brotherhood In Death. Even with the redundant theme, Vendetta In Death has a different twist, and is worthy of your reading time.
This is one of my favorites to this point, although I read and reread J.D. Robb all the time and never tire of the stories. My only complaint is that I wish she wrote one a week. LOL
I do wish that a certain person I won’t name so I don’t ruin the book for anyone got publicly shamed for causing Eve a second of frustration. I think Y’all can figure out who.
Enjoy. It’s well worth the read.

After the last book, which was a bit on the slow side, this is the fast-paced story in the series we all know and appreciate. Although the reader - and Dallas, of course - knew fairly early who the murderer was, there was no proof for her to act upon. A page turner definitely, following her on her way to collect enough evidence.
I am looking forward to the next one - I just love the "...in death" series and the main characters.
Not gripping enough. For me the highlight was Jake & Roarke getting to work together... can't wait to see more of Jake Kincaid. 🤩
It's great to see Peabody growing in her confidence. Maybe we'll see her eith her own trainee soon.
