With the help of a local man named Kelley Ryan she delves deeper into the past leading her back to one fateful night in 1919, to the worst storm on record and the sudden disappearance of dozens of children.

Festive in Death: by JD Robb | Summary & Analysis
Book*Sense - 2014
Robb. Within Festive in Death, the 39th instalment of the “In Death” series by author J. D. Robb, fans of the genre are re-united with their favorite kick-ass-and-take-names female cop, Lieutenant Eve Dallas. New readers will quickly find a new heroine. J. D. Robb is a pseudonym for Nora Roberts, author of hundreds of novels. Roberts’ work has reached number one on the New York Times’ best sellers list. Her heroines are strong, capable women who, though flawed, resonate greatly with readers. Perhaps it is because they display their strengths while remaining decidedly feminine. In Festive in Death, Eve Dallas and her coterie are true to Robb/Robert’s vision. As they undertake a murder investigation, the women project intelligence, diligence, strength, wit and womanly intuitions/sensibilities which we breakdown in this companion. This romance mystery hits the rights notes where the romance is concerned. Eve’s husband, Roarke, is nothing if not uxorious: He positively dotes on Eve. When the two are together, the chemistry is almost palpable. Their love and sexual attraction is believable, and their repartee is an absolute delight. Indeed, in this reviewer’s opinion, their banter is the outstanding feature of the novel. Though, it should be noted Festive in Death also has its own shortcomings which will all be covered in this companion/analysis. This Analysis of Festive in Death fills the gap, making you understand more while enhancing your reading experience.

Mehool Parekh
The usual suspects are arrested by the Police until an odd-ball amateur sleuth starts to investigate. Something about the murder does not sit right with him. To start with, the victim – Rupali, a regular housewife living in marital bliss. But is that the truth? Why would someone murder her and why did she meet such a gruesome end? Who, in reality, was she? Introducing Major Bartaman Bhowmick, Southern Command of the Indian Army. Peace-time army life and supportive seniors allow Major Bhowmick to indulge in his hobby and passion – crime detection. His sharp investigative talents are highly valued by his cousin, an ACP in Pune. Robin Chowdhury is a city crime reporter, whose combination of keen intellect, attractive looks and affinity for all things tech, makes her a great sidekick for the Major. This book is as much about Rupali’s astounding story as her murder and Major Bhowmick and Robin’s investigation into the murder with its surprising conclusion.
