Another great book in this series. I love how the characters are developing. Peabody & McNab were great, and Eve & Roarke are just a great couple.

I think this is one of the best books of the series so far. Just when I thought I knew who the main villain was, nope, I'm wrong. And honestly, I love it when I'm wrong.

Roarke played a bigger part in this one. I love when he works hand in hand with Feeney and McNab. And we get to see Jamie again! I hope he stays in some of these. Trueheart is back and hopefully, he stays around as well. Baxter was pulled in on this one so maybe we will see more of him as well.

As each of these books keeps going, Eve is getting better with her feelings. Little by little she's starting to realize this group of characters is her family.

If there ever was a book series that should be made into a television series, this one is it. I really can't get enough of this series. Hands down one of my very favorites!

4.5 STARS

"Louie Cogburn had spent three days holed up in his apartment, staring at his computer screen. His pounding headache was unbearable - like spikes drilling into his brain. And it was getting worse. Finally, when someone knocked at his door, Louie picked up a baseball bat, opened the door, and started swinging... The first cop on the scene fired his stunner twice and Louie died instantly. Detective Eve Dallas has taken over the investigation, but there's nothing to explain the man's sudden rage or death. The only clue is a bizarre message left on his computer screen: Absolute Purity Achieved. And when a second man dies under nearly identical circumstances, Dallas starts racking her brain for answers and for courage to face the impossible...that this might be a computer virus able to spread from machine to man..." (From Amazon)

Loved this one! The case was scary but so interesting and the lives of the characters keep getting better and better.

Purity in Death
4 Stars

Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her team are called in to investigate a seemingly routine case of heat induced rage, but soon discover that the perpetrator might have been the intended victim. When another man dies under similar circumstances, Eve begins to suspect that, although impossible, the men were infected by a computer virus. Can Eve find the culprit and stop their nefarious agenda before the contagion spreads?

With so many books in the series (#45 will be published in 2017), it is inevitable that certain plot elements will be repeated. Thus, Eve is once again investigating a cyber related crime (similar to Rapture in Death and one that involves a vigilante (as in Judgement in Death). Nevertheless, Robb manages to put new twists on these tropes to keep the reader engaged and the pages turning.

Unlike the previous installment, the character development takes a back seat to the mystery and the intriguing discussion on the moral ambiguity of vigilantism. That said, there are several heart-warming scenes between Peabody and McNab, and a wonderful moment in which Eve realizes that they, along with Feeney, Baxter, Trueheart and even Webster and Summerset, are all part of the family she never thought she would have.

Overall, another satisfying addition to the series and it was good to get an update on Jamie Lindstrom. Hopefully, we will be seeing more of him in the future.

Nice mystery. Fun dynamics between Eve & her team. I liked how Eve & Roarke had different beliefs about some topics and they worked around it.
Overall, good as usual.
