Lieutenant Eve Dallas struggles with the end—and the beginning—of life in this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series.Just as Eve Dallas begins to investigate the grisly double homicide of two young lovers—both employees of the same prestigious accounting firm—her friend Mavis need a favor. One of the moms-to-be in Mavis’s birthing class has gone missing. Normally, such a … missing. Normally, such a case would be turned over to Missing Persons. But Mavis wants no one else on the job—and Eve can’t say no.
Now Eve’s trying to track down the missing woman, while simultaneously unearthing the deals and double-crosses hidden in the files of some of the city’s richest and most secretive citizens, in a race against this particularly vicious killer. Luckily, her multimillionaire husband Roarke’s expertise comes in handy with the number crunching. But as he mines the crucial data that will break the case wide open, Eve faces an all too real danger in the world of flesh and blood.

JD Robb is a favorite of mine I will read anything she writes with anticipation. The “In Death” series can be dark but they explore the resilience of the human spirit and how broken people can heal each other as well as help others.
Love the way she writes
I adore J D ROBB books. I have read every one except the newest one. Hope to read it soon. I am a Science Fiction reader and enjoy Police/Detective books. Her books have both as well as fully developed characters that grow and change with each book.
love all the books in this series!!!
The U.S. Robb Death series with Eve Dallas and Rourke are very intriguing and keeps my attention.
I love JD Robb.
For me the Eve Dallas books are enjoyable to read though she is a murder cop so the subject matter isn’t “enjoyable”. The books are full of interesting characters, some futuristic gadgets and a murder to be solved. Even though I wouldn’t label it a page turner I did read through it fairly quickly since I get into the story and want to see the solution to the murder.
I like all of J.D. Robb’s books.
Love the characters. They are like old friends, and I eagerly await the next in the series. I have read all of them. I believe this one is number 45. You don’t have to read them in sequence to enjoy them, but I’m glad I did. They take place in the future. Normall, I don’t read sci-fi, but there’s just enough to make the setting interesting. Primarily, they are detective murder mysteries. Enjoy!
All of J D Robb’s books are fantastic, very difficult to put down!!!
Top of the line!
Love all books in this series. Anxiously await new ones.
A wonderful beginning to a great series. Characters grow on you and the stories are fantastic.
My favorite “In Death” book. Hard to say more without giving away the plot but I haven’t laughed so hard in ages!
Love all the Nora Roberts Eve Dallas books. Always a page turner.
Continues the story with familiar and well-liked characters, but a new and different premise. In all her stories, I find how the main heroine Eve Dallas approaches each crime and her thought processes and means of detecting the crimes and suspects in each storyline is fascinating and sometimes hilarious. However, sometimes I find Eve Dallas’s ignorance about simple societal customs (such as baby shower practices in this story) so unlikely, given how she is so familiar and has a mastery of understanding about human motivations in the crime field. She is so familiar with the criminal mind and the psychology of people, that her hilarious but sometimes irritating ignorance about other normal matters in life seem so unlikely. Nevertheless, I enjoy her character tremendously, and I often borrow J.D. Robbs In Death books on tape while traveling as well as reading her stories.
Love all of the In Death series with Eve and Roake!
J. D Robb (aka Nora Roberts) Series is a must read. I’ve been reading it since she started it.
Characters are always evolving. You should read the whole series, but you can pick one and still know the characters and the back story of how they come to be in the stories.
JD Robb (Nora Roberts) never dissapoints!! I have copies of her book, audio-tapes of the same books, and now digital copies of the same books. When a new one of the series come out, I start from the beginning and read the whole series again. Keep them coming!!
Love JD Robb!!! Eve and Roark and company are my favorite characters!
