"Brotherhood in Death" is at it's core, a book about change. And we all know how much Eve hates change. But, unfortunately for her, Roarke wants her to change her office, and that sparks an argument. The main case is really a hard read, but it's probably not a stretch to say that everyone involved in those crimes, the perpetrators and victims were profoundly changed due to the crimes that were committed. Trueheart changes from an officer to a detective. So lots of change here.

This is such a great read, and a lot of that is because we love Dennis Mira and this book contains a lot of really great Dennis Mira moments. Most specifically his moments with Eve, all of which are so sweet, even when Eve is questioning him about his cousin's murder.

There's also plenty of really great funny moments here, most specifically the creepy doll room, and Eve telling Peabody to "Put the dicks in the box with the asses" and Peabody answering, "You know what's going to happen with a penis and two asses in the same box, right?"

Overall, a great book, and one of our favorites.

In this episode of Podcast in Death, we specifically look at some of the motives that our killers have had in this series and discuss whether or not we feel they are justified. TO BE CLEAR: There is never a good reason to kill someone! BUT, there could be circumstances that might make it more understandable. Because this episode went a bit long, we look at books from "Naked" to "Imitation," and will discuss other books of the series at another time.

Also, this episode starts off with a completely different subject: The Credits system in the "In Death" world, and how it might work.

In this episode we talk about the POV that starts each book in the series and what it might say about each book. Among the things we discover by doing this episode is that Eve is often annoyed when a book starts with her POV. Also, so many of these books are about women getting revenge.
