Shelia of Book Journey has been hosting First Book of The Year for seven years now. It is an event that I look forward to participating in, and begin to think about which book will be the First of the new year around the beginning of December. I will begin the new year, new decade with a book from a favorite series.
Vendetta In Death #49 by J. D. Robb
She calls herself Lady Justice. And once she has chosen a man as her target, she turns herself into a tall blonde or a curvaceous redhead, makes herself as alluring and seductive as possible to them. Once they are in her grasp, they are powerless.
The first victim is wealthy businessman Nigel McEnroy. His company’s human resources department has already paid out settlements to a couple of his young victims—but they don’t know that his crimes go far beyond workplace harassment. Lady Justice knows. And in one shocking night of brutality, she makes him pay a much steeper price.
Now Eve Dallas and her husband, Roarke, are combing through the evidence of McEnroy’s secret life. His compulsive need to record his misdeeds provides them with a wide range of suspects, but the true identity of Lady Justice remains elusive. It’s a challenging case, made even more difficult by McEnroy’s widow, who reacts to the investigation with fury, denial, and threats. Meanwhile, Lady Justice’s criminal crusade is escalating rapidly, and if Eve can’t stop this vigilante, there’s no telling how much blood may be spilled

Happy New Year 🥳
I can't believe she's up to #49. I hear #50 is coming out in the not so far out future as well. I think I've listened to the first two so far. I have a long way to go! I hope you enjoy Vendetta in Death! Have a Happy New Year!
I start thinking about this in the beginning of December as well and am so glad that Sheila has continued to do this each year! I only read one book in this series, one of the later ones. Happy New Year, Nise!!!
Sounds good! One of these years I'll dip into the series.
Happy New Year Nise'... hope you love your first book!
Wow, 49 books! I keep meaning to read more of this series, but so far, I've only read the first three. Enjoy!
I never read from this series, but I do love a good mystery procedural and I see her books in my library, so I should look into them further.
So I finally got around to reading the first of this series and really liked it. But now th library doesn't have the 2nd one! How is that possible! Happy reading :)

That should be good. Happy New Year to you and your family!
Happy New Year and may the Vendetta book keep you happily engaged. I am pretty sure it will!
I love reading the Eve Dallas books and am caught up completely. Hope you enjoy this one. A fun 'first book'. I'm thinking that the next is Golden in Death and I'm wondering if there will be any special surprises there. Think it's out in February maybe. Happy New Year!
That should be a great first book. Happy New Year!
