Reunion in Death (In Death, Book 14)

📚 Why We Recommend It

Opening with a surprise-party murder that detonates a “reunion” between Lt. Eve Dallas and the poisoner she once put away, this installment builds irresistible momentum from a single glass of champagne to a cat-and-mouse pursuit in which past grudges sharpen every choice and every misstep, ensuring the hook is emotional as well as procedural.
Set in the series’ near-future New York, the novel blends sleek forensics, brisk manhunts, and textured relationships—Roarke’s partnership with Eve, and the ensemble around Peabody and McNab—so the case moves fast while the characters deepen; Publishers Weekly calls it a satisfying, well-paced story whose real pleasure lies in watching Eve wrestle with intimacy even as the stakes rise.
As the fourteenth In Death novel from Berkley, it delivers a complete, high-tension mystery that also rewards series fans, carrying Eve beyond Manhattan when the hunt demands it and turning questions of authenticity and motive into a showdown that feels both global and personal—a polished entry point for newcomers and a gratifying return for longtime readers.
