Echoes in Death, the chilling new suspense novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author J.D. Robb is the perfect entry point into the compelling In Death police procedural series featuring Lieutenant Eve Dallas.As NY Lt. Eve Dallas and her billionaire husband Roarke are driving home, a young woman-dazed, naked, and bloody-suddenly stumbles out in front of their car. Roarke slams on the brakes … front of their car. Roarke slams on the brakes and Eve springs into action.
Daphne Strazza is rushed to the ER, but it’s too late for her husband Dr. Anthony Strazza. A brilliant orthopedic surgeon, he now lies dead amid the wreckage of his obsessively organized town house, his three safes opened and emptied. Daphne would be a valuable witness, but in her terror and shock the only description of the perp she can offer is repeatedly calling him “the devil..”.
While it emerges that Dr. Strazza was cold, controlling, and widely disliked, this is one case where the evidence doesn’t point to the spouse. So Eve and her team must get started on the legwork, interviewing everyone from dinner-party guests to professional colleagues to caterers, in a desperate race to answer some crucial questions:
What does the devil look like? And where will he show up next?

Another great story of Eve Dallas and her entourage
I love this entire series. It’s well plotted and well told.
All her books are great. Start with the first one if you have not read any ‘death’ books and read thru all. You will be quite happy.
I always enjoy reading something JD Robb has written
As will all the ‘In Death’ books, this was another awesome one. Very easy to read and you want to finish it when you start it.
Good mystery
Another great book about Eve and Roark.
My favorite author writing about my favorite character. The action was non-stop and the puzzle was outstanding. What more can a reader ask for?
Love this series. Cant wait for each installment. The cop and the billionaire in 2045 ir so. It is imaginative and spell binding
Fantastic series
this series is just awesome
Written by Nora Roberts. All of these books by J D Robb are exceptional entertaining and well written. Can’t go wrong with a Nora Roberts’ book
No words necessary! J. D. Robb has done it again.
One of only a few authors I will pre-order sight unseen. I own the entire series and reread every couple of years. Eve and Roarke are well developed characters who reveal new aspects of their backgrounds in each book. Susan Ericson’s audible narration is exceptional, giving each character their own voice.
I’ve been reading this series for 17 years now and I’m never disappointed. It’s crazy that this is the 44th book and I’m not at all over it. The author takes me on a journey, makes me fall a little more in love with Roarke with each book. Don’t get me wrong Eve rocks, her attention to detail as a cop makes for an interesting tale.
I had an inkling who the bad guy was this time but expected Ms Robb to toss in a red herring to throw me off. Instead we got an ending that I didn’t see coming at all.
Great detective work, an insight as usual into their private life and a crime well solved.
I loved this story and I highly recommend it.
I just skip the cut-and-paste sex scenes that pop up regularly – they just interfere with the story!
Another Home Run for JD Robb.
Another enthralling read in this series. One keeps expecting the next book to have already been done but even though they all revolve around the same theme, Murder and Homicide, they are always a great, interesting and gripping read.
As always it is lovely to follow along and see this great team and extra characters at work as well as be a part of Eve and Rourke’s relationship.
I look forward to every new JD Robb book.
J. D. Robb never fails to deliver!
