Summary

Personal trainer Trey Ziegler was in peak physical condition. If you didn’t count the kitchen knife in his well-toned chest. And hanging from it was a note: Santa Says You’ve Been Bad!!! Ho. Ho. Ho! Naturally, the vengeful ex-girlfriend who called in the body was the first suspect. But as Lieutenant Eve Dallas soon discovers, she was only one in a lineup of women who’d been loved and left by the narcissistic gym rat, who’d shown a suspicious preference for wealthy, slightly older women who could afford to finance his lifestyle—and his wardrobe. Not that the perp had to be a woman—the victim’s enormous self-regard and arrogant behavior had ticked off plenty of guys, too. While Dallas tries to sort through the list of Ziegler’s enemies, she’s also dealing with her Christmas shopping list—plus the guest list for her and her billionaire husband’s upcoming holiday bash. How do she and Roarke even know two hundred fifty-six people? She’d rather serve warrants than hors d’oeuvres any day.… Feeling less than festive, Dallas tries to avoid the relentless good cheer around her, put aside her distaste for the victim, and solve the mystery of his death—a mystery that only deepens when a small fortune in cash is found inside Ziegler’s gym locker. There are just a few investigating days left before Christmas, and as New Year’s 2061 approaches, this homicide cop is resolved to stop a cold-blooded killer.

    This book, 'Festive in Death: In Death, Book 39', seems to have a plot that has been seen before in 'Seduction In Death' and 'Innocent In Death', with a strong focus on sex. The story revolves around a man who manipulates or drugs women in his workplace, with a naive woman falling into his trap, and a more experienced woman who lies about her connection to the victim. The main characters, Roarke and Eve, are portrayed as being very self-absorbed and in love with themselves, which can become tiresome. Overall, there doesn't seem to be anything fresh or unique about this book. The reviewer has even given up on another series by Maya Bank, possibly due to similar recycled plots. They are considering buying 'Obsession in Death', but only if it offers something new, as they are tired of repetitive storylines.

    I found the latest addition to the 'In Death' series by Robb/Roberts, titled 'Festive in Death', to be quite dull. It's not really surprising considering it's the 39th book in the series, which could possibly be a record, maybe only behind Mary Osbornes' 'Magic Tree House' kids series. I struggled to maintain my interest throughout the book, until the Christmas party. The party was described in such vivid detail that it made me want to dress up and join in the festivities. However, the overall plot felt quite typical compared to other books in the 'In Death' series. I can't help but wonder if it's time for some fresh story arcs for the characters. The only character who seems to have experienced any growth is Peabody, and I wish there was more character development for Dallas herself. It feels like it's about time for her to remember when holidays occur. Some of the things that were initially cute or funny, like Dallas' aversion to PDA with Peabody and McNabb, have been dragged out for too long. It's time for her to move on from it. I noticed the introduction of some new characters, such as a new doctor in the coroner's office who doesn't particularly like Dallas. I'm sure this conflict will be explored in future books, with them eventually developing respect for one another. And really, isn't it time for Dallas to stop stressing about Roarke's money? Or maybe it's time for me to stop purchasing these novels as soon as they're released. Overall, apart from the party scene, this novel left me feeling quite indifferent. It was rather bland, to be honest. If you're a fan of Roberts/Robb, you'll probably buy it regardless, so don't pay too much attention to my opinion. Personally, I think I'll go find one of her older novels to download and listen to. I noticed the service has a good selection of her earlier books, which captivated me when I was younger and might still be appealing to me now.
