Books: Lethal Justice and Glory In Death

13. Lethal Justice by Fern Michaels

Not the murder-mystery I was expecting when it was given to me. Not even a mystery, really, since you know exactly who did what right from the start. (The name is completely misleading, as not one person died in the story.) It's a little weird, jumping into a book that is so obviously in the middle of an ongoing series. Several times, I felt like I was being beaten over the head with "and *this* reference is from an earlier book, and *this* reference is from an earlier book, and..." It was also slightly weird in that I got the sense that one of the major story elements was "tying up an old arc that spanned a couple of books."

I had considered picking up some of the earlier books and seeing if that made things better, since on the whole the story was enjoyable, just weird. Then Julianna sent home 10 books with John for me to read, and ... it will be some time before I get any more of this series. Or any other series.

14. Glory In Death by J.D. Robb

As good as the first book in the series.
