Nora Robert's favorite female hero is back in Haunted in Death, the first short story that begins the Bump in the Night short story collection. Lt. Eve Dallas is all about truth and justice and to her there's no such thing as ghosts or supernatural killers. All murders begin and end with a motive and when a body is discovered in a soon to be renovated building, Eve is determined to prove that live body is responsible. Assisted by her partner Detective Peabody and Roark, Eve's gorgeous and clever husband, Eve uncovers the skeleton of a long dead singer with ties to the recently deceased. Unraveling the mystery of both murders while staying one step ahead of things that are determined to scare Eve away frm the murder scene is classic Nora Roberts writing. This is short story so it does wrap up fairly quickly but you'll really enjoy reading it all the same. A must have addition to any Nora Roberts library.
