"Strangers in Death" by J.D.Robb

J.D. Robb is so different from Nora Roberts. J.D. Robb is the author I aspire to be like with my own writing.

I'm an avid reader of the "In Death" books. This particular book "Strangers in Death" deals with the death of a prominent businessman found in his Park avenue apartment, tied to a bed-and strangled-with black velvet cords.

The facts don't ad up for LT. Eve Dallas. Physical evidence suggest that the victim Thomas Anders didn't struggle.
The security breach in the highly fortified apartment indicates that the killer was someone close to Anders.
All of the usual suspects alibi's check out , from the the wife that was off in the tropics at the time of the murder to the nephew who stands to inherit millions. Was it a crime of passion or a carefully planned execution?

You guys check it out and tell me what you think?
