Review: Missing in Death - J.D. Robb

Aboard the Staten Island ferry, a tourist comes across something she shouldn't have seen - something someone needs kept very quiet. Soon no one can find her. But if she didn't jump, and she's not on board, where is she?

Homicide Lieutenant Eve Dallas is called to the scene and is quickly faced with a shocking web of lies. With time running out and a deadly trail of intimidation and revenge emerging, Eve and her team must find out just what was seen on that ferry . . .

Review:
Missing In Death is a novella available either as an individual ebook, or, as a bind up in print or ebook, that also includes the novella Ritual in Death. I read it as part of the bind up but I'm reviewing both stories separately as I'm reading the whole In Death series in order and read these stories weeks apart.

It's not often that Eve finds herself called on to investigate a missing tourist on the Staten Island Ferry but that's exactly what happens in this novella. She has a missing tourist plus a large amount of blood but no body and no clue who the potential murderer might be.

This was another great story in the In Death series, even with her novellas J.D. Robb manages to give us a good mystery and this one really tests Eve's sense of right and wrong. Perhaps justice isn't always covered by the laws she so fervently believes in. As with most of the novellas we don't see the whole series cast in this story but we do still have plenty of Eve and Roarke time, Peabody is on top form and even Somerset holds out an olive branch (or chocolate chip cookie in this case!).
