Narration is excellent!

As always, Susan Erickson does an exceptional job narrating. The effects of the voices coming over a mike or communicator - well done, well done! I particularly like her voice for the Peabody character! I’ve enjoyed the stories in this series, though sometimes it’s easy to see what’s coming. But I love the continuing development of the character or Eve Dallas.

I love this series

This one keeps you guessing right up to the end. Occult , love and murder all read wonderfully

Outstanding Performance!

I’m throughly enjoying listening to the In Death Series. Each book captures my interest and keeps me engaged. I’m completely invested in Eve Dallas and the other recurring characters that Susan Ericksen’s brilliant performance brings to life.

A bit predictable

A bit frustrated that this was very predictable this time and Dallas didn’t contemplate it even though it was quite obvious and her character development thus far would have warranted her figuring it out much sooner BUT I’m now invested in all the main characters so I loved it for that :) the character building is wonderful :)

My third time re-listening to this series

I love J D Robb's series, and with over 50 books, you can listen all over again. This is one of the best

Great series.

Reading the series again. Still one my favorite. Would recommend to anyone who like mystery, romance, with a little future

Eve made me very angry in this one.

Excellent story as always. Susan Ericksen is an amazing narrator as usual. She mispronounces a few words sometimes and I really dislike how she says Peabuddy, instead of Peabody. But an excellent narrator nonetheless. Her voices and accents are top-notch.
Bormally I really admire Eve Dallas's personality and reasoning, I think she's really an amazingly realistic character. But this story made me very angry with her. Condemning someone based on who their parents are is just wrong. And a person in her situation, with her history should know that. She was cruel in this story. It makes the story less enjoyable for me. I know it's supposed to be her job and she's taking it personally because of her own history, but trying to break someone and grinding them into the ground based on who their father is, is just wrong. And the fact that she was so gullible to believe the false trail that she was fed, when she already knew who the guilty party was, was super annoying to me. She was so easily misled. This can't be my favorite story, as it seems to be for so many others, simply based on that one component of the story. I thought she was unnecessarily cruel and easily misled in this story. Otherwise I am a huge fan of this series. I think hers and Ruark's relationship is so real, honest, admirable. But her behavior in this book really throws me off.

Would marry him in a minute

I love Nora Roberts, but resisted reading her as J. D. Robb. I decided to try this summer and got the Audible version of the first in her "In Death" series. I absolutely love the books. I think the character of Eve is real enough. Although I realize that the character of Roarke is only a dream, I pretend that he really could exist. The narration is excellent, and the narrator is one of my favorites. I'm reading them in order.

absolutely loved it

I love the story regarding spiritual elements and Witchcraft and Satanism it's new but not a lot of books that I've read at least talked about.

as always a great story she nevet fails to amaze

awesome book as always Nora Roberts is an amazing story teller and the reading performance couldn't be better
