Publisher's summary

The year 2060 is drawing to a close, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. It's a time for loved ones to come together. But sometimes the deepest hatreds seethe within the closest relationships, and blood flows faster than water....

For Lieutenant Eve Dallas of the NYPSD, the job is a useful reminder of what she has to be grateful for this season. Hosting Roarke's big Irish family for the holiday may be challenging, but it's a joyful improvement on her own dark childhood.

Other couples aren't as lucky as Eve and Roarke. The Reinholds, for example, are lying on the floor of their Downing Street apartment, stabbed and bludgeoned almost beyond recognition. Those who knew them are stunned - and even more heartbroken by the overwhelming evidence that they were murdered by their own son. Twenty-six-year-old Jerry hadn't exactly made a good impression on all the bosses who fired him or the girlfriend who dumped him - but they didn't think he was capable of this.

Turns out Jerry is not only capable of brutality but taking a liking to it. With the money he's stolen from his parents, and a long list of grievances, he intends to finally make his mark on the world. Eve and her team already know the who, how, and why of this murder. What they need to pinpoint is where Jerry's going to strike next.

Good but not the best

I love the In Death books. However, there was way too much violence in this book. I fast forwarded through a good portion of the book because it was too violent. I would have liked to see more interaction between the characters of the book and less of the perpetrator.

Another Winner

I love Nora Roberts....I would love an imagination like hers! Forever one of my favorites!

Another homerun for J.D. Robb.

As always I was hooked from the first page. I love all of the main characters in the "in death" series. I can hardly wait for the next book.

ANOTHER WINNER!

I love these books. This one was as good as the rest. It was great that there was a lot about their family in this one, I really like that side of the stories. Her style is very much the same in all these books but she changes them up just enough to make you want to listen more. Narrator is also fantastic. I'm so used to the voices and the characters if any one else was to narrate the books it would definatly not be the same. Can't wait for the next one! To bad we can't get another one each month!

She always writes well

Grand as usual but still wish it was more R or X than XXX rated! The mysteries are good enough with less...I know because I have started skipping some of the more expletive sections.

Am I the only one who feels this way? It's the only thing that stops me from giving her books 5 stars constantly.

Love this world

If only i liked the voice actors for this audio. To be fair i can still listen to it ok, but i can immerse myself in the world like i usually can with other audiobooks.

Another dependably great Dallas book!

What did you love best about Thankless in Death?

Dependably great story.

What about Susan Ericksen’s performance did you like?

I love each characters uniqueness.

Any additional comments?

I know that when ever I read an Eve Dallas book it will be very enjoyable.

Good story but

Good story but missed the usual interplay and continued development of the series' characters. The dynamic between the regulars is what makes this series so special. Susan Eriksen is terrific as always.

Exceptional storyline

At first I assumed it would be the normal Eve Dallas story. It was not. This story had a lot of heart and meaning behind it. It brought the characters together very well.

Missed interaction with other characters

As usual, the story was interesting, and the narration was great. Still, I would’ve liked more interaction with Mavis and some of the other characters! Hoping that it’s there in the next one.
