Publisher's summary

With the precision of a surgeon, a serial killer preys on the most vulnerable souls of the world's city streets. The first victim: a sidewalk sleeper, found dead in New York City. No bruises, no signs of struggle. Just a laser-perfect, fist-sized hole where his heart had once been. Lieutenant Eve Dallas is assigned to investigate. But in the heat of a cat-and-mouse game with the killer, Dallas' job is suddenly on the line. Now her hands are tied...between a struggle for justice - and a fight for her career.
Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

I could listen to Roarke forever

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.

As entertaining as it is improbable

It's easy to fall in love with this cast of characters in this series. I'm a new fan, despite the over the top sex and violence, the quick-witted dialogue and fast-paced plot turns keep my admiration and attention for this series.

Susan Ericksen great narrator

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

Gritty, sexy, romantic

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

Ther is always a twist to the endings and great action endings

Which character – as performed by Susan Ericksen – was your favorite?

Always love the character of Peabody

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

The sarcasm that J D Robb uses is always dry and funny

Any additional comments?

Anyone who does not like Susan Ericksen as a narrator is not listening well. She makes these books, her characters are rich and each one is individual, makes you appreciate all the nuances of the characters. I have enjoyed all her readings.

Love it!!!

I've been enjoying the In Death series. Great plot, love the couple, Eve and Roarke. They're such a great team! While waiting for my monthly audible credits to renew, I'm going to get my fix by re-listening to previous books. And the narrator is amazing!

Robb ups the ante for Eve

After the novella interlude, Eve Dallas is back in Conspiracy in Death, book eight in the In Death series by J. D. Robb. In many ways, it feels like the novella and its exploration of Eve's growing humanity gave Ms. Robb the license to start making Eve's trials more emotional and almost traumatic. I say this because what Eve faces in Conspiracy in Death is brutal and something she could not have endured without breaking down in the first few books.

The murder mystery is complex and creative, but it is Eve's potential loss of job where the heart of Conspiracy in Death lies. Almost all of Eve's identity is with her badge, and to have that taken away from her is like taking away her soul. One cannot exist without the other, and the old Eve wouldn't have been able to. Once again, Ms. Robb highlights the growth of her character without banging readers over the head with it. The subtlety used in this part of the story is masterful.

Conspiracy in Death is the first novel in the series where Ms. Robb uses the murders to explore Eve's emotional state more fully. Through the threat of job loss, Eve cannot hide behind the badge but must find the fortitude to become someone without it. As I said earlier, it is a scenario Eve would not have been able to handle in the first few books. In upping the ante for Eve, Ms. Robb made Conspiracy in Death richer and more fulfilling.

Unbelievable Audio

I could only say this, I'm addicted to this audio set. The consistency of the voices is amazingly acurate. I have to say she does a great job..
