Out of My Pocket #6 (or the mashed-potatoes of the book world)

Salvation in Deathby J. D. Robb

In the year 2060, sophisticated investigative tools can help catch a killer. But there are some questions even the most advanced technologies cannot answer.When Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas confirms that the consecrated wine contained potassium cyanide, she's determined to solve the murder of Father Miguel Flores, despite her discomfort with her surroundings. It's not the bodegas and pawnshops of East Harlem that bother her, though the neighborhood is a long way from the stone mansion she shares with her billionaire husband, Roarke. It's all that holiness flying around at St. Christobal's that makes her uneasy.A search of the victim's sparsely furnished room reveals little— except for a carefully hidden religious medal with a mysterious inscription, and a couple of underlined Bible passages. The autopsy reveals more: faint scars of knife wounds, a removed tattoo— and evidence of plastic surgery, suggesting that 'Father Flores' may not have been the man his parishioners had thought. Now, as Eve pieces together clues that hint at gang connections and a deeply personal act of revenge, she believes she's making progress on the case. Until a second murder— in front of an even larger crowd of worshippers— knocks the whole investigation sideways. And Eve is left to figure out who committed these unholy acts— and why. (amazon.ca)

I have been very good and have not been buying books due to a) the 20 or so books I still have a read and b) lack of funds. But I also have about 5 books scattered around the house at various stages of being read. Nothing is capturing my attention for very long. I just needed a book equivalent of comfort food, you know what I mean? And to me, this Eve Dallas series is book comfort food. So I bought it on Thursday and started it this morning.
