The In Death novels are comfort food - you know exactly what you're getting - serial killer with a side of Eve/Roarke romance.
Dark in Death spices things up by a) showcasing girl power and feminine solidarity at its best and b) going meta. These murders are based on a series of in-story murder mysteries, and it's a fun look at the storytelling process as the lines between (fictional) fiction and (fictional) reality start to blur. It never gets so deep that my head started to hurt, but had some nice nods to the history of mystery and more.
I thought I'd be getting bored of these books by now but somehow JD Robb keeps me coming back for more.
Four stars
