Publisher's summary

Eve Dallas is the tough lieutenant hot on his trail, but this is unlike any case she’s ever been assigned - or any killer she’s ever pursued. A police sketch based on eye-witness testimony reveals the killer has green skin, swollen red eyes, goblin ears, and a dislocated jaw-structure that defies the human form. Is it a mask? Is it make-up? Or is the explanation more sinister? Dallas faces off against multiple suspects - all of them students of medicine capable of precisely slicing the ears, noses, and eyes of the three victims. But who had the motive? More importantly, what kind of rogue science are these healers practicing?

Unique characters, fast paced.

Would you consider the audio edition of Chaos in Death to be better than the print version?

Have not read the printed version, but enjoyed the audio.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot kept me guessing who Dr. Chaos was until Eve and I both figured it out.

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

Alway love any book she reads for me. Her concept of the voices for each character is great.

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

No

Really good listen

Another weird case for Eve and the gang, involving a demonic-looking, insane killer, scientists and former junkies.

People can do stupid things for stupid reasons and even experienced, tough cops, who think they've seen it all can be surprised.

Enjoyable as always.

I love the in death series!!!

I have loved the in death series since it was recommended by a good friend. I will not read any book of this series unless it’s read by Susan Ericksen. I say this because I also read books from the library of Congress and sometimes they have their own readers reading from this series. I choose to wait until I can get the book that would be read by this narrator. She is one of my favorite ones. And yes I would definitely recommend this book and series to anyone Who enjoys mysteries and suspense novels. I had to say one more thing I caught this book as I was looking through the list from this series because I had already read many of them and I was trying to see if I had missed any. What took me by surprise!! Is how short this book is but it didn’t take away from the things I have come to expect from JD Robb.

A good & fun listen

Again, nice that Eve is a bit softer--retains her edge but not constantly complaining and fighting about everything. Typical Eve Dallas story but as always, a good listen and good performance.

Not her best In Death book

Would you listen to Chaos in Death again? Why?

No, I wouldn't listen again. The reader was HORRIBLE and her voice distracted me from the story line.

How could the performance have been better?

Different reader

Thrilling and Unique!

I just finished listening to this 'half book' for the 4th or 5th time. it's one of my favorites and really wish it had been a full length book. The storyline is incredible!

Loved it! Very quirky!

Loved the newest book in the series and will definitely listen to it again! This book is true to the Eve Dallas style but a little quirky! Interesting characters but I would have liked to see more development of the villian!

Weird story, but entertaining nonetheless.

If you could sum up Chaos in Death in three words, what would they be?

Weird, entertaing story

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I think I like JD Robb's stories better when they are closer to real-life, thrilling events.

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

Yes, I have. I find her performance outstanding, as always.

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

No. Not really.

Any additional comments?

I'm quite ready for JD Robb's next

Another Outstanding "In Death" book from JD Robb

Would you consider the audio edition of Chaos in Death to be better than the print version?

I prefer the audio version because it's easier to get caught up in the charaters

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

All of the JD Robb series. Next to Jim Daley, she's the best.

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

It did make me tear up in a couple of places

chilling effect on your bones

This series always keeps me wanting more. Mrs. Roberts stories draw me in. This particular book deals with a chemically induced change that made a murderer out of man. life parallels art parallels life. makes me think about the chemicals that we ingest and what we are murdering.
