She calls herself Lady Justice. And once she has chosen a man as her target, she turns herself into a tall blonde or a curvaceous redhead, makes herself as alluring and seductive as possible to them. Once they are in her grasp, they are powerless.
The first victim is wealthy businessman Nigel McEnroy. His company’s human resources department has already paid out settlements to a couple of his young victims — but they don’t know that his crimes go far beyond workplace harassment. Lady Justice knows. And in one shocking night of brutality, she makes him pay a much steeper price.
Now Eve Dallas and her husband, Roarke, are combing through the evidence of McEnroy’s secret life. His compulsive need to record his misdeeds provides them with a wide range of suspects, but the true identity of Lady Justice remains elusive. It’s a challenging case, made even more difficult by McEnroy’s widow, who reacts to the investigation with fury, denial, and threats. Meanwhile, Lady Justice’s criminal crusade is escalating rapidly, and if Eve can’t stop this vigilante, there’s no telling how much blood may be spilled…
Crazy is as crazy gets.
That is what this book is all about.
This installment is quite predictable. A few chapters in and we know who dunnit. But despite that, JD Robb has a way of telling a story that makes reading the book enjoyable anyway. Annddd... I got my little dose of Bella! It was short and sweet, but I still had it, none-the-less.So, this series is now starting to get the "same old, same old" feel. However, becasue one gets a year to wait for the next book, that feeling fades by the time the next installment is published and I wanted to read about the characters again like meeting old friends. Thus I remain a fan of this series.
