Publisher's Summary

The year 2060 is drawing to a close, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. It's a time for loved ones to come together. But sometimes the deepest hatreds seethe within the closest relationships, and blood flows faster than water....

For Lieutenant Eve Dallas of the NYPSD, the job is a useful reminder of what she has to be grateful for this season. Hosting Roarke's big Irish family for the holiday may be challenging, but it's a joyful improvement on her own dark childhood.

Other couples aren't as lucky as Eve and Roarke. The Reinholds, for example, are lying on the floor of their Downing Street apartment, stabbed and bludgeoned almost beyond recognition. Those who knew them are stunned - and even more heartbroken by the overwhelming evidence that they were murdered by their own son. Twenty-six-year-old Jerry hadn't exactly made a good impression on all the bosses who fired him or the girlfriend who dumped him - but they didn't think he was capable of this.

Turns out Jerry is not only capable of brutality but taking a liking to it. With the money he's stolen from his parents, and a long list of grievances, he intends to finally make his mark on the world. Eve and her team already know the who, how, and why of this murder. What they need to pinpoint is where Jerry's going to strike next.

The immaturity of the killer is well done.

2023 AUDIBLE REVIEW
The immaturity of the killer is well done by the narrator. I wanted to slap him senseless.
As stated in my book review, I really hope he becomes someone’s pet in prison. He has no reality about life and it will be good punishment to have gone from the high way he was living, to, using Eve’s words, living in a concrete cage.
BOOK REVIEW
4.5 stars as killer is so unlikeable. Loved the personal time and family interaction in this book.
Great that everyone, including the family from Ireland, were at the medal ceremony.
And I loved how Eve, when talking to Commander Whitney, finally realised she was at a place where the job was not everything anymore. She has found her life balance. Though she does have a hissy fit at one point and takes it out on Roarke, to their mutual enjoyment.
The little scenes with Nixie were so sweet and positive.
The killer, boy, what a whiny, lazy, selfish, entitled child he was. Totally unlikeable and his thinking process, absolutely self absorbed.
Killing those who dared to tell him no or god forbid, told him off for being lazy.
I really hope he becomes someone’s pet in prison.
I have owned most of these books in paperback for years but now have them all in eBook format, so I am rereading this series once more in order, updating and replacing missing reviews.
Even knowing what is in the future, it is absolutely no hardship to reread this series and I am really enjoying how all the characters are growing and changing.

love this series ❤️

even though it's a continuing story I have never once lost interest. I love Eve and Rourke and enjoy the journey they take with all there interesting and sometimes unusual friends that Eve manages to find and that they can all come together to make a family.

Enjoyed it as always!

Given a few reviews had canned Thankless in Death because (they said) too much torture I thought about skipping this one. But I dived in anyway and, no offence intended, feel that the nay-sayers are ultra sensitive. While the murderer thought about severing his victims' body parts he didn't actually do it, and there were a lot of wholesome life-affirming characters to balance his evilness. I tend to agree with reviewers who say that the story lines are becoming less original but I really don't care as what I enjoy most is the gentle and witty reparte between some of the main characters. I chortled at Eves's malapropisms and the reactions of the detectives in the bullpen to one of their number wearing an outrageously bright item of clothing. I found myself surprisingly moved by the award ceremony. I love it when characters from previous stories wind back in with an update. Enjoy!
