Review

It’s been years since I last dipped into the In Death series, and cracking open this book felt like coming home to an old favorite. The mix of crime, romance, and futuristic flair reminded me exactly why I loved it in the first place. The story follows a classic police procedural format, but it’s infused with just enough suspense, romance, and unexpected plot twists to keep things fresh and exciting. Even though this series has been around for a while, it hasn’t lost its edge—if anything, the futuristic setting adds an extra layer of intrigue that still feels relatable.

One of the best things about this series is that while it does follow a chronological timeline, you can easily jump in with any book and still enjoy it. Sure, you might miss some of the deeper connections between the characters or recurring storylines, but it’s a lot like watching a crime drama on TV out of order—you still get the full experience. If you enjoy crime dramas with strong characters, a dash of romance, and a slightly sci-fi twist on modern life, this series is well worth picking up. It’s a solid blend of familiarity and forward-thinking storytelling that always keeps me coming back for more.
