Publisher's summary

Lieutenant Eve Dallas must immerse herself in her billionaire husband Roarke’s world of big business to uncover the identity of a hit man in this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series.

On Manhattan’s East Side a woman lies dead at the bottom of the stairs, stripped of all her valuables. Most cops might call it a mugging gone wrong, but Lieutenant Eve Dallas knows better.

A well-off accountant and a beloved wife and mother, Marta Dickenson doesn’t seem the type to be on anyone’s hit list. But when Eve and her partner, Peabody, find blood inside the building, the lieutenant knows Marta’s murder was the work of a killer who’s trained, but not professional or smart enough to remove all the evidence.

But when someone steals the files out of Marta’s office and the killer’s violent streak begins to escalate, Eve knows she has to draw him out, even if it means using herself as bait…

Excellent!

Susan Ericksen makes Rourke and Eve Dallas, and all their fellows come alive, as always! With distinct, recognizable voices for all the recurring characters, she only magnifies my enjoyment of this series. And extra, extra kudos to Nora Roberts (J D Robb) for managing what seems to be impossible for most writers: creating such intriguing, complex characters in Eve and Roarke that even after they fall in love, happily ever after, etc., there's still so much story to tell.

Awesome........

Would you listen to Calculated in Death again? Why?

Not really, but I am a person who only can listen to a book once, I am the same way on movies......

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

As always the way Dallas and all the characters intertwine with each other.

What does Susan Ericksen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Just the way she talks as the characters themselves

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

On another trail.......

Being in the Wrong Place At the Wrong Time

What made the experience of listening to Calculated in Death the most enjoyable?

what I always say is how Susan Ericksen give the characters life and personalities. Plus J.D. Robb can really write memorable characters and addicting stories.

What other book might you compare Calculated in Death to and why?

Any book where an accountant ends up dead because he/she was not in the right place. Then we have corrupted businesses and a cop who wont stop.

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

I've listened to all the ones she's done for this series and am still in love what she brings to these books.

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

Eve catching a little boy who was thrown at her when she was perusing the bad guy. It would have made anyone in the NLF proud. Also at the premiere of the Icove book and that ending. Such a typically thing that I don't get tired of.

LOVE

All JD Robb books in the series are excellent

Yes, she is a good reader,uses intonations that fit personality of characters

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I hold on start to finish,great ride every time!!

Great Series - lousy voices

It was really annoying to have New Yorkers talking in Deep South accents - especially if you are a fan of the series and know that the character was New York native. And Peabody sounded like an idiot.
