Desperation in Death: An Eve Dallas thriller (In Death 55)

Product Information

I’m still thinking about something though, how those villains kidnapped those children who came from rich and happy family? This was a hard one to put down because it involved young children at risk and I needed to reach the outcome. After seeing so many of todays GOP legislate for child marriage, it’s quite plausible that they don’t need to snatch them off the street when they just raise them to believe that God wants them to marry and be fruitful starting at 12 years old. I keep thinking that one day this series will become stale after so many books but it isn’t letting up. This is the fifty-fifth book in the In Death Eve Dallas series and I have read all of them up to this point.

I think I might have to start admitting to myself, thought it’s strange… I have comfort cops, especially considering how much I didlike, and distrust cops.Mina’s expensive, elegant clothes and beauty products convince Dallas that she was being groomed, literally and figuratively, for sex trafficking—and that whoever is investing in this high-overhead operation expects windfall profits. In any event, this wasn't the kind of case where Eve or Roarke had the luxury of taking time to fight, snipe for days or do the whole silent treatment then make-up monkey sex thing; people were actively having their lives destroyed and depending (whether they realized it or not) on Eve and the team to put the people responsible to justice. This story starts when Mina Cabot and Dorian Gregg, abducted teenagers, attempt to escape the Pleasure Academy where they have been imprisoned for months and trained for a life of service and exploitation. Eve and Roarke struggle with emotional issues as they work through the case – after all – what these children are going through is very similar to both of their backgrounds as children.

They have tentacles all over the world and they never take from the same place – at least not close together.This popular series takes place in the near future and normally has a fair share of futuristic aspects.

She and Dorian bond, plan their escape and they’re initially successful but something goes wrong and Mina ends up being one of Lieutenant Eve Dallas’ victims. There was some repetition in the early discussions between our investigators, but when the action got going I could not put the book down. These two really are sisters, and the couple of scenes we get in this book shows why they trust and love each other. I loved how they worked through it, using each other so honestly for support and emotional sustenance.

As this current case hits very close to home for Eve, she works hard at keeping everything in check as she is working. Still, for all of the emotions that are revoked, it did end up giving you hope because they got the dicks. If you want a read that will hold you spellbound, leave you tearing up, laughing, angry yet satisfied, then you want to get Forgotten in Death in your hands and hold on for the ride.

In Desperation in Death, Eve and the gang find themselves facing down a child sex trafficking organization. The plan was a sound one, but when they were out on the streets, Dorian fell and suddenly Mina was running, leading them away from Dorian, so she could escape. Robb relies on a tried and true convenient plot device and skips over some majorly satisfying stuff that the crimes and victims really warranted.Woven through the novel are threads of caring for others, friendship, partnership relationships, freedom, distrust of authority, alliances, leadership, and trust. So good to catch-up with so many of the beloved cast of friends gathered throughout this installment in the In Death series. Eve and Roarke are going strong and, as has been done in the past more than once, he is more than helpful as Eve tries to learn who is abducting these young people and to bring them to justice.
