Concealed in Death by J.D. Robb

I don't think I'll be going out on a limb to say that most fans of this series are not reading it for the mystery! But what keeps me coming back for more is the great ensemble cast of characters.  There's detective Eve Dallas and her handsome, debonair husband Roarke.  Then there's Dallas's partner Peabody and her main squeeze McNabb, Dallas's best friend Mavis and her designer husband Leonardo, and psychologist Charlotte Mira and her irresistibly sweet husband Dennis. In this installment of the series, Dallas must discover who murdered twelve young girls and hid their bodies in an abandoned building fifteen years ago.  Dallas takes time out during the investigation to savor her "family".  Longtime readers of the series will appreciate how far she's come! 384 pages.
