walkitoutThe 4th in the In Death series.
This time around, a bunch of suspicious suicides, seemingly unconnected, other than the fact they are suicides who had zero history of suicide, depression, self-destruction, etc.
SPOILERS!
The roomie who said his dead friend didn't ever go on dates because he had some long distance thing going on with a woman who had brains, body, etc. and why accept anything less? caused me to perk right up when Rheeana (<-- probably spelled that wrong) appeared. But Robb did a nice job throwing distracting sand up. Nothing like having more than one person engaging in mind control to confuse the reader.
I think this might be the most tightly plotted of the first 4. There are some things that happen with the main couple that could be profoundly trigger-y however (consent issues triggered by the mind control).
I wasn't really intending to keep reading, but these books really hit the spot, when I want something mildly humorous, mildly interesting as a puzzle and "a future from the past" that I find really entertaining. Clearly, they work on some level for a substantial fan base, or there wouldn't be 44 of them. There's a real risk I'm going to wind up reading all of them.
