Beginning:

Someone had either kidnapped the sun or decided to screw the ransom and killed it dead.

Friday 56:

Dog walkers herded their charges -- all sizes and shapes -- and day nannies headed in to herd theirs. 

With the windows down she caught the scent of cart coffee and breakfast burritos. Then a block later, the unfortunate stench of a broken recycler.

This week I am spotlighting a new and highly anticipated arrival on my TBR mountain. Payback in Death by J. D. Robb is the 57th book in the In Death series and I've enjoyed all of them. Here is the description from Amazon:

A retired colleague's suspicious death puts Lt. Eve Dallas on the case in Payback in Death, the electrifying new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author J.D. Robb.

Lt. Eve Dallas is just home from a long overdue vacation when she responds to a call of an unattended death. The victim is Martin Greenleaf, retired Internal Affairs Captain. At first glance, the scene appears to be suicide, but the closer Eve examines the body, the more suspicious she becomes.

An unlocked open window, a loving wife and family, a too-perfect suicide note—Eve's gut says it's a homicide. After all, Greenleaf put a lot of dirty cops away during his forty-seven years in Internal Affairs. It could very well be payback—and she will not rest until the case is closed.
