Desperation in Death: An Eve Dallas thriller (In Death 55)

Product Information

Mina Cabot is also 13-years old but from a loving affluent family in Philadelphia, abducted on her way home from school. We still get some technology that would make my eyes bleed if I thought about it too much, but it works. In the end, they decided as a couple (this is a refreshing change from Roarke laying down a law and Eve deciding "not to argue") that while he has a right to worry, she has responsibilities to her job and victims that don't include allowing her macho husband to substitute his "superior" judgment for hers because protection. Eve and her team use all their resources to find out who is behind this horrible organization and try to save the other innocent victims. Reading what the little girls were going through was devastating, as I know it reflects a horrific truth in our reality.

That meant seeing so many of the characters I’ve come to love having substantive roles in the story. I’m still thinking about something though, how those villains kidnapped those children who came from rich and happy family? Robb details the abuse that the girls experience from the very beginning, so when one of them turns up dead, I feel like readers can connect more with the victim.With two girls having been abducted, and one escaping, Sadly, as the girls were escaping, one of them died.

I got to go back and check in on some of my favorite people: Dallas, Roarke, Peabody, McNab, Feeney, and - of course - Galahad! Once the girls are imprisoned within the academy, they are ‘trained’ to service the gentlemen who will eventually purchase them. But if you like a thrilling mystery and lots of twists and turns, then you don’t want to miss out on this one!

It doesn't take long for Eve to realize that exploitation is behind the abductions and Eve cannot help but remember her tragic past when it comes to said abuse. This is the fifty-fifth book in the In Death Eve Dallas series and I have read all of them up to this point.
