D.C. Detectives #2

by Nora Roberts

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts comes a novel that explores the dangerous side of desire, when a mystery writer in search of a little peace and quiet instead finds herself ensnared in the world of a real-life serial killer whose craving for murder stops at nothing . . . and no one.

After a demanding book tour, superstar mystery novelist Grace McCabe decides to visit her sister, Kathleen, who’s embroiled in a custody battle after a bitter divorce. Arriving in D.C., Grace is shocked to find Kathleen living in a run-down neighborhood and, hoping to afford a hotshot lawyer, supplementing her meager teacher’s salary by moonlighting as a phone sex operator.

According to Kathleen, Fantasy, Inc., guarantees its employees ironclad anonymity. But Grace has her doubts—which are confirmed one horrifying cherry-blossom-scented night when one of Fantasy, Inc.’s operators is murdered. As Grace is drawn to help solve the crime, her life turns into a scene from one of her own books. Yet as one of her biggest fans, investigator Ed Jackson, warns her: This isn’t fiction. Real people die—and Grace could be next. For she’s hoping to trap a killer more twisted than anything she could imagine. And not even Ed may be able to protect her from a rendezvous with lust and death.

I just love Nora Robert’s she pulls you in from the very start of the book & you just can’t put the audio down, the narration by Hilary Huber was brilliant. The characters were likeable except for Jonothan Kathleen’s husband.


Grace & Kathleen were sisters but very much polar opposites Grace always had friends where Kathleen struggled with everything, but Kathleen found a job working as a phone sex worker which Grace didn’t like but hey it’s a job right!


Grace a lawyer gets word that a body has been found at Fantasy Industries Kathleen was strangled to death, this mortified Grace but when Jonothan Kathleen’s husband turns up Grace doesn’t let him in, Kathleen was abused by Jonothan & had multiple affairs.


Who Killed Kathleen & why?
I loved the 2nd in this detectives series Nora Robert’s is now a go to author for me a strong 4 star ⭐️ read.

Please note that I gave this book 2.5 stars and rounded it up to 3 stars for the purposes of this review here.

Trigger warning: rape.

I read this for Romance Book Bingo: Love is Murder square.

So book #2 definitely does not work as well as book #1 does. The story-line felt very rushed (the hero declares his love for the heroine before they even make love, proposes marriage after they make love for the first time) and the serial rapist/murderer did not work real well. The two leads had no real chemistry and I was more happy to see the return of Tess and Ben then to spend anytime with the new heroine and hero.

Our heroine (Grace McCabe) is a famous murder mystery writer. She comes to visit her sister Kathleen who has relocated back to their hometown of DC. Kathleen is going through a contentious divorce and is working as phone sex operator during her nights when she is not teaching by days. Now I weirdly found this charming. Considering our environment today, someone calling up someone who is willing to just talk about their sexual fantasies seems pretty PG-13 right now. Unfortunately, a hacker who has somehow (it is never explained) hacked into the phone sex company's phone and computer listens in whenever Kathleen takes a call. Kathleen has become the perfect woman to him, and he wants a relationship with her. Yeah relationship in this case equals rape. Eventually Twisted Don Juan shows up and rapes and murders Kathleen. This causes Grace to interact more with Kathleen's next door neighbor, DC detective, Ed Jackson.

We got to know a little bit about Ed in book #1. I found him endearing and weird in that book, and off-putting as anything in this book. No worries, Grace irritated the life out of me too. Ed pretty much falls instantly in love with Grace as soon as he sees her. When he finds out she is his favorite mystery author he is pretty much in heaven. When Grace's sister is found raped and murdered by an unknown assailant, Ed decides no matter what he is going to find the killer.

These two as romance leads really doesn't work. I don't know if it was Ed's insta-love that put me off, or the fact that Grace takes a phone call while at Ed's and talks to his mom off screen about everyone in his family. It was weird and dancing towards creepy.

Also, I am five years old, but Ed's description of a big tall mountain man, with a big red bushy beard did not appeal to me at all. I just kept thinking every-time Grace kissed him she probably got a mouthful of hair. Also the sex scenes were vanilla/boring. I never got the feeling that Grace was in love with Ed. He was there for her at a terrible time in her life. But his insta-love thing would have had most women running the other way.

Secondary character development in this one is really lacking. Having Ed's family off-screen was a big miss. Roberts should have included them. Or heck have Ed call them back after the weird personal phone call his mother had with Grace. Grace's parents come into town to bury one daughter and just disappear. It was an odd choice. Most families, or at least mine would have been calling me day and night asking me to check the locks on the doors and windows. The serial rapist was lame as anything. I also hated Tess being involved with this and her maybe taking over counseling for the guy. At least the ending throws that random plot out of the window though. Speaking of Tess, her and Ben's re-appearance was great. I wish we spent more time with them.

The writing was so-so in this one. I just felt everything that worked well in the first book, just didn't work well here. I think us going back and forth between Ed, Grace, Tess, Ben, the serial rapist, the potential and actual victims in the book made it feel crowded. As I said in my first review, this was a great look into what makes Robert's "In Death" books work so well now. She definitely got some practice in. This one sadly was just not a home-run. There's a side-plot about the real Kathleen that gets dealt with too quickly. I wish that Roberts had dealt more on the fact that the sister that Grace thought she knew, wasn't who she thought she was.
The setting of DC unlike with the previous book is just confined to Ed and Grace's homes. I do not ever want to read again about someone renovating their house. It's boring. At one point I was all why are we spending time on them talking about dry-wall? And then I realized I didn't care and wanted to finish the book.

The ending was lackluster. There is no real oomph to the reveal like in book #1 since readers are informed of who the bad guy is in this one earlier on.

This has nothing to do with the review, but I was so surprised when I went to check this out via Overdrive and had my Kindle sending me a message saying this book is in your library. Color me shocked. I apparently bought this back in 2011 and I have no memory of reading it. So take that little factoid as you will if you feel like taking a spin at this series.

Me maravilla cómo escribe Roberts (eso lo sabéis todos los que me seguís), pero esta novela ha tenido un final tan precipitado como la relación de los personajes principales.

Creo firmemente en la atracción sexual. Sé que existen los flechazos (¿quién no ha tenido alguno en su vida?). Pero el amor... El amor es mucho más grande como para que, en apenas ocho días, "sepan" que es eterno. Quizás sea algo cínica (en el fondo soy una romántica, lo prometo), pero no me lo he creído como en otras novelas de la misma autora.

Pese a todo, la trama es sencilla, atrapa (tanto como el título) y distrae, que es lo que interesa.

Recomendada, pero para pasar el rato. Nada más.

I see shades, I see shadows, not quite there, but hints of what an awesome suspense writer Nora Roberts could have been. Years before Karen Rose even picked up a pen (or keyboard) Nora Roberts wrote a tale that was riveting and compelling. Nora chose another path, but the seeds of really great suspense are here. Not the perfect pabulum characters of her latest and greatest (not) best seller, but flawed people who feel and react not at all perfectly. Oh, Nora where did you go so wrong?

Grace is a best selling mystery author who has come to visit her sister in Washington DC to decompress from the book tour for her latest bestseller. Grace is a mess, but a very successful one. Kathleen was the perfect sister, but her life is not the stuff of fairy tales. She is divorced, barely surviving financially as a high school teacher and provides phone sex on the side to earn extra money. The two sisters have had conflict their whole lives and Kathleen resents Grace's success. When Kathleen is murdered, Grace is left with anger, resentment and guilt, and the burning need to find her killer.

Ed is Kathleen's next door neighbor. He is a big, giant of a man and a DC cop. He also fell instantly in love with Grace the first moment he saw her. He is determined that he and his partner, Ben will find the killer, but as more bodies turn up and the only link is the phone sex operation, Fantasy, Incorporated, Ed knows that time is running out, and that Grace is just nuts enough to take matters into her own hands.

Me ha gustado muchísimo más que el libro anterior. Grace y Ed son muy cuquis y he estado enganchada al libro todo el tiempo

[Tracy · Rating 2 out of 5]

A Victim of the Times
Writing murder mysteries has given author Grace McCabe a successful career, but when her sister is brutally slayed while Grace is visiting her in D.C., murder hits far too close to her heart. Struggling to come to terms with the woman her sister really was and who she is in the wake of her loss, a deep-seeded desire for justice starts to burn in her, even as a different sort of desire is sparked for her sister's neighbor, D.C. homicide detective Ed Jackson.

From the moment Ed saw Grace leaning out the window of his neighbor's house, he was captivated by her. Realizing she was an author whose books he favored only made him want to meet her more. The steady and thorough man with a gentle heart and warrior's eyes recognized her as his future almost immediately, but the discovery of her sister's body, and helping Grace through the loss even as he investigates the crime, has created a tension in him that he can't quell. He knows there is a killer stalking his victims, and he knows Grace would do anything - including put herself in a monster's sights - to stop him.

I've been a huge fan of Nora Roberts for more years than I care to admit to and have spent so very many hours lost in the worlds she creates, adoring my stays there. Unfortunately, Brazen Virtue wasn't one I favored, but in this case, I may have no one to blame but myself. Perhaps if I'd read this sequel to Sacred Sins back when it was originally published in 1988, I would have felt vastly different about it, because the truth of the matter is, it's difficult for a book of this nature to feel fresh twenty-three years after it was released.

A maestro of character study and well conceived plots, a virtuoso of lyrical prose and realistic dialogue, Nora Roberts is a goddess of romantic fiction, and those traits are in evidence in Brazen Virtue. I'm always fond of main characters who are authors like Grace is, because there always seems to be a bit more...something...part realism and part emotional honesty in those characters (be it real or imagined on my part) than in others, like the author his/herself is speaking a personal truth through their characters. It's something I've always found appealing and I did so in this case as well. Ed was no slouch either as the quintessential good guy that Roberts is so adept at writing. Both lead characters are three dimensional and realistic.

In fact, as far as the technical aspects of the story go, it's Roberts. If she doesn't do it well, no one does.

I can only imagine that when the book was originally released, it was probably a very taut, tense, and timely suspense novel, but now, over two decades of wars, politics, natural disasters, heinous crimes, and acts of terrorism, technological advances, and an entertainment industry overflowing with every single sharp-eyed observation of man's inhumanity to man has stripped this book of its sophistication and polish, leaving it feeling too tame and plodding to feel at all current...or substantial.

I don't need to wonder what that says about today's culture...or my own jaded world view.

Beyond that, though, I didn't like what I was reading. I wasn't sold on the timing or alleged romantic intensity between Ed and Grace - most of that was because I didn't find Ed's character to be to my taste. He was a bit too quietly solid and seemingly easy going for me. I preferred Ben in this book just as much as I did when he was featured in Sacred Sins. I also didn't like how Kathleen's character, Grace's sister, was slowly dragged down through the evolution of this book, to go from a struggling woman fighting her rich and influential ex-husband, scrambling to fund the investigation and battle for custody of her son, to a cold and self absorbed, bitter, drug addicted woman who made a horrible wife and mother and a judgmental, envious sister. It was unnecessary and seemed contrived to allow for Grace to heal from her loss quicker, as if to justify her quickly moving on from Kathleen's death.

The police procedural part felt very awkward, and the connection to Fantasy, Inc. seemed so glaringly obvious yet overlooked as a serious possibility for far too long, but again, I think my dissatisfaction is another symptom of the perils of the modern world on a book published so long ago.

I can't go back to 1988 (thank hell...because the hair and the clothes, people!) and view this book through the lens of a simpler, less dangerous, far less controversial time. I can only assume that if I could, this book would have seemed tense, atmospheric, and shocking. With today's headlines and over two decades of history between now and then, however, Brazen Virtue seemed too much a victim of the modern world...and maybe we're all a little worse off for it.

3.5 stars - This is one of the earliest true romantic suspense I've seen from La Nora, and while I don't think this comes together fully for me compared to what she did later, this is a pretty satisfying iteration of this kind of story from her. I will say there are elements in this book that are very "of their time" and don't read as well to today's readers as I assume they did at the time. Still, I'm intrigued to read more in this series

[CD {Boulder Blvd} · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 Stars rounded up...

This is a re-read for me as I had read this and book #1 Sacred Sins in this series years ago. Whereas I didn't remember much from Sacred Sins, this one I remembered a lot of the story from before. I really liked this book the first time around and the story was memorable. I found it a quick and easy re-read and still enjoyed it the second time around.

Ed (Ben's homicide partner from Sacred Sins, book #1) meets Grace when she comes to visit her sister and Ed is the next door neighbor. They are instantly interested in each other and are on a date when Grace's sister is raped and murdered. Ed and Ben are the detectives on her murder case.

The case revolves around women who are doing "phone sex calls" with supposed confidentiality. I will say that technology is something that can quickly date a book and you can definitely tell this was written a few years back.

From a character perspective, Ed is a beta hero which I actually really like. He's smart and has backbone but he doesn't throw his brawn around and thump his chest. (If you can't tell I am so over the alpha caveman.) For the most part I liked Grace's character. She's a successful independent woman which I like. I don't however like when private citizens think they have the right to be part of the investigation which Grace does too much of. Yes, you want information. However, if you're intelligent you know the difference between what you can be told and what is still for the police only. I never really liked how she pushed herself into the case.

And a weird personal note: I really got tired of all the times one of the characters had to light up a cigarette. It almost became a plot distraction.

[Cristina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Me ha parecido un libro muy entretenido como suspense, pero el romance no me ha convencido ni me lo he creído, no sé en qué momento se han enamorado muy rápido todo, el suspense de este libro se me ha hecho más entretenido que en el anterior, sin embargo la historia de amor me ha parecido más desarrollada en el primero, también tiene 100 páginas más el primero, en resumen se me ha hecho muy ameno y fácil de leer como libro de suspense, pero como historia de amor le falta mucho y el final me ha parecido muy precipitado, pero en general me ha gustado saber más de Ben y Tess casados y esperando un hijo,vamos que lo recomiendo como libro de suspense porque como historia de amor para mi gusto se queda muy corto

[Mary · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can't give this book less than five stars! It is the second of two books featuring two DC detectives who are partners as well as best friends, and the women who love them. This is Ed and Grace's book but Ben and Tess from the first book are in this one as well. Readers will and do love Ed Jackson, a bear of a man with red hair and a full beard, but a heart of gold. I loved the rapport between Ben and Ed and the dialog is funny and sarcastic between these two. The books were written 30 years ago so the reader should be aware of that. There is romance as well as murders to solve. Do yourself a favor and read these two books (Sacred Sins is the first.) They are fast reads that you won't want to put down. Highly recommended!

[Brittany McCann · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one wasn't as exciting as the first book, but it was still an interesting case.

I guess it feels weird that it was written in 2001, but feels more like something that would have been published in the 1980s with the social view of things like sex hotlines. I was well versed in what these were in 2001, and I was in high school, so this felt off with the timeline of the book.

The killer was the best-written character up until the climactic point. Everyone else felt a bit too out of touch for me.

I am sad that there aren't more in this series, even if the connection was tenuous at best.

3.5 stars rounded up.

Mais uma vez, gostei! Gostei bastante deste segundo volume da série D.C. Detectives e desta nova história que Nora nos traz. Novamente Nora mostra o porquê de ser uma das autoras mais amadas e mais lidas do mundo literário. É que não há volta a dar.
Conseguiu trazer-nos personagens cheias de personalidade e cheias de força. Inteligentes e que são capazes de tudo pela justiça e pelo desejo de resolver assuntos e traumas.

Les recomiendo este libro. Si leyeron "Polos opuestos" y lo disfrutaron, este les va a encantar. Volverán a encontrarse con Ben y Tess y descubrirán cómo han sido las cosas entre ellos luego del final del primer libro de la serie.
Pero también disfrutaran mucho más a Ed Jackson, un policía cariñoso, dulce que tiene un corazón tiernísimo recubierto en un cuerpo enorme, que inspira más respeto del necesario.
Una historia de amor que me encantó, con una protagonista femenina sin vueltas, fresca y espontánea que encuentra el amor en medio del dolor provocado por la locura de un asesino serial.

Nora Roberts es una de mis autoras favoritas de romance y misterio.

I am sure I read this book back in 1988, when it was first published. I have read most of Roberts' work. However, the recent controversy over Alyssa Milano being chosen to play a character in a TV show, made me dig it up again. Grace McCabe is fresh off a nerve-wracking publicity tour for her most recent bestselling mystery novel. She has stopped off at her sister's house in Washington DC for a visit. Grace and Kathleen do not get along well; Grace is the direct opposite of everything Kathleen does. Grace meets Kathleen's next-door neighbor, who is a DC murder cop. Kathleen is teaching at a school after returning to DC when her divorce was finalized in California. Her ex-husband is quite a force in society and he has demanded their son stay with him. Kathleen is working at a phone sex organization in order to earn money for a lawyer to fight her husband's custody battle. But, somehow, someone hacks into Fantasy, Inc.'s site and uncovers Kathleen's home address and she is murdered. then another worker for Fantasy is murdered and then a third woman survives an attack because her dog intervenes. DC cops Ed Jackson and his partner, Ben Paris, are on the cases. This was an interesting read because it clearly shows the evolution of Roberts' writing. Reading her newer books, one can see her careful character development and great dialogue. Another enjoyable read.

Nora Roberts no defrauda!!

Creo que lo primero que hay que tener en cuanta es que este libro es del año 1988, como se pueden demorar 26 años en traducir un libro escapa mi comprensión pero hay temas que en esa época eran novedad y que hoy en día no llamarían la atención como las empresas de sexo telefónico, la venta de productos por internet o las hackers y otras cosas como que estaba bien visto que los protagonistas fumaran como chimeneas y las enfermedades de transmisión sexual que también eran una preocupación.

Este libro es el segundo de la serie "D.C. Detectives"; en el primero, Polos Opuestos, conocimos la historia del Detective de homicidios Ben Paris y este es la historia de su compañero Ed Jackson. Así que es una novela romántica de suspenso, un recurso que suele usar Nora Roberts al narrar las historias es dar la identidad del asesino; el lector sabe quien es el asesino desde el principio y toda la trama trascurre en ver como los protagonistas lo descubren y se hace justicia, es un recurso novedoso, algo así como ir tomando los dos extremos de una soga y encontrarnos en el medio en vez de ir de principio a fin.

La trama está muy buena y teniendo en cuenta el año en que se escribió el libro, está muy bien desarrollada. El asesino es realmente un psicópata y sinceramente no podía tener otro final. Mi única queja es que el final, si bien correcto, me pareció un poco abrupto.

Author: Nora Roberts
First published: 1988
Length: 279 pages, 4212 kindle locations
Setting: Contemporary. Washington, DC.
Sex: Reasonably frequent. Mostly closed door / fade to black.
Hero: Homicide Detective
Heroine: Author.
Trigger: Drug taking of BadGuy. Rape and murder of secondary characters.

A more intense romantic-suspense where we can see how quickly Roberts progressed in her writing. The plot is more cohesive with a satisfactorily complex storyline, interesting characters and solid suspense. It’s lovely to see such a good, modern relationship with an independent, strong heroine and a hero who, while wanting to care for and nurture his woman accepts that Grace isn’t going to be that woman and supports her choices. A believable HEA.

[mlady_rebecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was my first Nora Roberts, above and beyond a string of J.D. Robb books I read a few years ago. Not what I was expecting.

I thought the books Nora Roberts wrote under her own name were romances. How can you call a book a romance when the heroine's sister is killed, and the mystery is catching the serial killer?

There was a romantic component, but it seemed secondary to the murder mystery. And, for me, the romance wasn't .... It just didn't work for me. I wasn't attracted to the hero, and I had no desire to be the heroine. Isn't that why most people read romances? To step into the couple's shoes?

This was an older book, written in the 80's, and it showed. Attitudes towards smoking and drugs, especially.

And, I don't know about you, but a big beefy cop with a beard who lectures people about eating healthy is not my knight in shining armor. Zero attraction factor.

The mystery plot was fairly interesting. Think of this as a literary "Law and Order". You follow the case, are invested during the story, but in the end most of them are forgettable. Decent read, but not a keeper.

*****

Rereading this after finally reading the first book in the duology. (Random, dumb luck.) Review largely stands, though Ed was clearly getting more points the second time around.

2.5 ⭐️ it was … something. This was a technology time capsule. How would this translate to a movie set in 2022?
Grace is dumb and will forever be dumb in my heart.
I kept mixing up the love interest and his partner lol does she end up with Ben or Ed? Idk they seem kinda similar. AND dude had some interesting ‘goals’ for his ideal woman. The climax was rushed? I feel like Nora kinda just wanted to end the book and really pushed it along in the final chapter. Would I continue the DC Detective’s series? big no 😂

if I had to describe this book, I would go with a mixture of Criminal Minds and Desperate Housewives. Imagine this story as one of the episodes, one of those which are just like so many others. There's nothing new in here. There's even no surprise at all since we know before hand who the killer is and it's so predictable how the story will go on...
