Stars: 3 / 5
Recommendation: A small and short novella that I wanted to complete in one sitting, and perhaps the author can make a series id she wants. Interesting read.
Missing in Death is the seventh novella in the long running In Death Series by J. D. Robb, the alter ego of the famous American romance novelist Nora Roberts. This was originally published in The Lost anthology book in November of 2009 in which Nora published her novella with two of her recurring authors and we see a new author too – Patricia Gaffney, Mary Blayney and Ruth Ryan Langan. This was subsequently released along with other in death novellas as anthology books several times. We continue to pursue Lieutenant Eve Dallas juggling her role as a Homicide Lieutenant and also being a wife to the Irish Billionaire Roarke
The third novella is by Mary Blayney titled Lost in Paradise. In this anthology book we see that Robb’s regular anthology author Mary Kay McComas is clearly absent and missing for the book. No writeup was given why she is missing in the book. I wonder what happened although she is a good friend of Nora Roberts.
This about a man who lives on an island, doomed by a curse for more than 200 years and almost lost hope, but a nurse comes along who could set him free if he braves it. It was an interesting read.
It confused me about the location between Long Island and Lost Island, probably that was because of my dyslexic brain. 😛 The author has a note at the end of the novella where she explains how she had set originally around a singing nurse who was reared by nuns, and she explains how she has re-written some of the hymns to suit the plot as well as they suit the Lord in general.
