“Wonderment in Death” (In Death, Book 41.5) by J.D. Robb
At first glance, the deaths of Marcus and Darlene Fitzwilliams is an open-and-shut case of murder/suicide. But when Eve Dallas takes on the case as a favor to a friend, the very down-to-earth lieutenant finds herself navigating a world of spirits, mediums, and poisonous tea parties to hunt down a killer who has twisted Lewis Carroll’s classic for his own deadly purposes.
J.D. Robb has blended Alice in Wonderland with the In Death-verse in a most wonderfully imaginative way. “Wonderment in Death” is a fast-moving hunt for a mad killer who targets his grief-stricken prey both for profit and pleasure. It is fascinating to see Eve navigate a case that’s riddled with Alice in Wonderland allusions. It’s completely at odds with her character, but she handles it like a pro (with the help of Roarke, Peabody, Louise, and others, of course). The story itself is twisted, yet highly entertaining, and I loved that even in novella format, Ms. Robb seamlessly weaves in Eve’s personal connections. There’s a lot to love about “Wonderment in Death.” Fans of the In Death series are in for a real treat!
“Alice and the Earl in Wonderland” by Mary Blayney
The new Earl of Weston is desperate to save his estate, but more importantly, he wants to win the hand of Miss Alice Kemp. Fortunately for him, a magical coin sends Weston and Alice tumbling through time to the wonderland that is 2005 London. If Weston plays his cards right, he’ll find the answers that can save both his estate and his love life.
“Alice and the Earl in Wonderland” is a sweet story of two lovers who get a new outlook on life when they time travel two hundred years into the future.

Wonderment in Death by J. D. Robb:Get ready for it. This was my first J.D. Robb read (waiting for the GASPS). I thoroughly enjoyed this story. While the who done it storyline was easy to know who done it, the why behind it was a tad bit mad. If you are a J.D. Robb fan you will love this book. Now I need to find the time to catch up on what 40 books before this one?
Alice and the Earl in Wonderland by Mary Blayney: This was a cute story. Again, I have never read anything by Ms. Blayney. I am very intrigued by the world of Time Travel that she has created. I really enjoyed Weston and Alice’s story. I will be checking out Ms. Blayney’s other stories in this series.
iLove by Elaine Fox: Loved this story!!! Jeremy and Claire are great. And they face an issue that most people have to deal with now. Technology!!! I really enjoyed this story a lot.
A True Heart by Mary Kay McComas: I am on the fence about this one. I was a bit confused about the story and how it fit with the theme of the anthology. Not that it was not a good story. It just didn’t feel very Wonderland-y to me.
Fallen by R. C. Ryan: Loved this story. I am a sucker for a Highlander love story. Colin and Beth are great together. I want to know more about how their life turns out. Which leads me to my only issue with this story. The main reason that Beth is in Scotland. I would have liked her to address that.
If you are looking for a fun read and the possibility of finding a new author or two. And you are willing to go on a journey that might just leave you mad.
Wonderment In Death is a classic in Death short. The story is there, it’s entertaining and intense – in many ways a mere shortening of the full length in Death novels. Unfortunately for me – for me – the other stories in this anthology just didn’t do much for me in entertainment value or in the connection felt with the stories. I feel badly saying that because I’ve purchased these anthologies with these writers before and they’ve always been enjoyable and entertaining – this time, only the Wonderment in Death story made this one worthwhile for me. And in absolute truth I’ve always bought them solely for the J. D. Robb story, the others were bonus material for me but still enjoyable. It’s a reality that sometimes the stories just don’t click. I did give this a 5 star rating – based completely on Wonderment in Death.
If it wasn’t for the insistence of her friends Charles and Louise, Eve Dallas would have taken bet that this case was an open and shut murder/suicide of a brother and sister with family troubles. Or for that one little piece of busted up technology that made no sense for a woman bent on murder and then killing herself should have had on her person. Then there were the drugs in the woman’s body that made absolutely no sense for a woman that everyone who’d known her swore she never took anything stronger than a blocker. But no matter, Darlene and Marcus were hers now and she would find out what had happened to this brother and sister.
Almost all of the characters from the Eve and Roarke universe got some air time in this novella. And I love seeing them, even if only for a scene or line. The team quickly begins to follow what leads there are in this case that just gets weirder and curious-er as they delve further into this mystery.
