Description
In Forgotten in Death, the latest riveting instalment of J.D. Robb’s In Death series, Lieutenant Eve Dallas is faced with the haunting mystery of two women whose lives were discarded and forgotten. The story begins with the discovery of a woman’s body left in a dumpster—her life reduced to little more than trash. Known for offering paper flowers in exchange for spare change and for her habit of reporting minor infractions, the victim had a notebook where she recorded everything she observed. But the notebook is missing, and its secrets may hold the key to her murder.
As Eve dives into the case, she is called to a nearby construction site where remains from decades ago are uncovered. These remains, adorned in gold jewellery and fine clothing, lead Eve into a tangled web of real estate, family history, and long-buried secrets. To her surprise, the scene of the crime is connected to her husband, Roarke, whose vast real estate holdings include the very building where the remains were found.
Now, Eve must navigate a complex world of shady deals, forgotten pasts, and shocking revelations to bring justice to two women whose lives were discarded by those who should have protected them. With her sharp mind and unwavering determination, Eve is on a mission to uncover the truth, no matter the cost.
Fans of gripping mysteries with an emotional depth, combined with the strong bond of romance and a complex lead detective, will find Forgotten in Death to be a must-read.
