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.

a little different

I love the in death series some books I love more than others. this one was a little different then the other ones it's not my favorite but it was still good

Another Win.

Would you listen to Thankless in Death again? Why?

Just finished it and just about ready to start again.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Thankless in Death?

I just love Dallas with 'The Family"

Have you listened to any of Susan Ericksen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to all the 'In Death" books along with "High Noon" She is always brilliant.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Dallas getting the Meddle of Honour.

Another Winner from Robb

Liked this one very much. The villain was horrifyingly real, and Dallas and Company well up for the task of bringing him down. It was no walk in the park, however, with Eve, Roark, and her bull pen fighting against a perp enjoying nearly fatal luck until nearly the end. Meeting Roark's family again was a real treat and gave the family holiday a special ring of warmth contrasting sharply with the complete lack of heart in the killer. Touches of humor sparking here and there throughout the stories in this excellent series lift it above the ordinary procedural. With stand-out characterozation and imaginative but believable futuristic inventiveness, the entire series truly rocks. And this one has become my new holiday favorite. Good going, Ms. Robb!

Thankless In Death

I have been re-listening to the whole series waiting for the release on this new book. I started to read the book while listening and had to stop listening and just read the book first. I read faster than the audio book. This book has some heart touching moments in it.
I enjoyed it very much.
I enjoy the dramatization of the audio books. And I never get tired of the characters in the books. Great job Susan and thanks Nora.

Robert's Review

If you love J.D. Robb , then you will love this series. The books are fantastic, The stories keep you at the edge of your seat. Keep them coming.

kick ass as ever!

as always J.D. Robb writes a story that I just can't put down. Every time I think Dallas is going a little head strong, Rourke or someone else is there to pull her back and make her see the humanity! it was great to have some apperances by old favorites too...this the 9th book of her's I've listened too and am going for the 10th now!

One of my favourites

This one is great. Simple story with genuine tension. Can identify the type of pathology in too many of the people I meet!!

So "Thankful" I got to listen!

Book 38 and I'm still enthralled more than ever with this story. Aside from the fact that Susan Erickson is THEE best reader I've listened to for any book- Thankless in Death was one of my favorites. It really encompassed everything the Eve Dallas series is about. It was entertaining, extremely engaging- always inserting new and interesting characters (even if they do die). And the family aspect. I love this series and I really loved this book especially!

great book

i enjoy this series a lot. three narrator is exceptional and makes the story real

Always interesting.

As always, interesting/thriller book. Keeps me completely distracted from the horrible LA traffic!! Thanh you!!
