Publisher's summary

Two young children disappear from their East Side home in New York City, their nanny killed in cold blood. As Lieutenant Eve Dallas begins to unravel the crime scene and search for Henry and Gala MacDermit, she's drawn into the twisted mind of a kidnapper who will stop at nothing to take revenge. Horrific threats concerning the brother and sister hit far too close to home for Eve, drawing her back into memories of her own tortured childhood.

But Eve knows that there's no time to waste on the past, and with every passing hour her determination to bring the children safely home strengthens. Eve and her team find themselves following an electronic breadcrumb trail left by a boy desperate to escape the evil witch. Their investigation into the kidnapper's sordid past reveals violent coercion, ritualistic killings, and chilling bloodlust - making her terrifying plans for the children abundantly clear.

Unique plot for the series

Tension wasn't between the characters and relationships, but in the drama of the situation. Focus throughout was on the kids

Lt. Good Witch Dallas

This was one of the better novellas of the series and didn’t get into the psychic/superstitious
mumbo jumbo like some of the other novellas. It was a little different in that the killer is known from the beginning, but that’s what allowed the story to get right to it.

Taken in Death

It’s interesting that these shorter books always deal with a magic type element. Not typically something I enjoy but since Eve and I’m along the same wavelength, it makes it enjoyable. Another great one!

Taken in in Death

I prefer the full length books to the novella stories. The characters have a better cha ne of development. If Take was dead alone the factors are not fleshed out.
