#29 Forgotten in Death by J.D. Robb
Eve and Peabody catch a case that at first glace seems to be the murder of a homeless woman at a construction site but as they are investigating this murder, they are alerted to another body found in another building that has been there a very long time. Of course, this building is own by Roarke but the death is so old there is no backsplash on him about it. It does bring up memories for them of the previous case of bodies found in a building owned by him in a previous book.
The first victim was well known in the area to the local police as someone who took notes and let the police know who was doing wrong in the area. These notes end up providing the key in the end to crack the case. The older murder victim takes a bit longer to untangle out but Eve finds justice for everyone in the end. A nice solid mystery solved with good police work. An enjoyable read for fans of the series and new readers alike.
