Publisher's summary

Eve has seen this crime scene before: the artfully arranged body of a young brunette, arms spread, palms up, body marked by the signs of prolonged and painful torture. Carved into her torso is the time it took her to die - in hours, minutes, and seconds. And on the third finger of her left hand has been placed a silver ring.

Eve is catapulted back to a case nine years earlier, when a man the media tagged "The Groom" put the city on edge with a killing spree that took the lives of four women in 15 days. Eve and her partner, Feeney, her friend and mentor, couldn't stop him before he disappeared, only to resurface in other parts of the world to kill and kill again. But now The Groom seems to have come back to where he started.

When it turns out that The Groom's most recent victim was employed by Eve's billionaire husband, Roarke, she brings him onto the case - a move that proves fitting when it becomes chillingly clear that the killer has made it personal. The corpse was washed in products from a store Roarke owns and laid out on a sheet his company manufactures.

With the Groom's monstrous return, Eve is determined to finish him once and for all. Familiar with his methods, she knows that he has already grabbed his next victim. But his sights are set on the biggest challenge of his illustrious career - an abduction that will test his skills and that promises to give him satisfaction as he's never known. Time is running out on another woman's life...and for Eve.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

Critic reviews

"[O]ffers a satisfyingly novel mélange of suspense, sex, forensics and heroics." ( Publishers Weekly)
"This offering in Robb's series showcases Susan Ericksen's versatility and strong characterizations. Her delivery is well suited to the suspense and humor that are so much a part of this series." ( AudioFile)

Maybe my favorite JD Robb

This narrator is amazing. I have read this one twice. Fast plot. Greatly drawn characters.

Very Addictive Series

Creation in Death marks book 25 in the In Death series. And because , I have been binge listening and I'm a runner; will do a play with words and say with next book , it will be a marathon 26.1 .🎧🤗🎧

I specially enjoyed this story as it didn't have the usual heavy dose of angst that other 24 books carry. If one read/listened series in order - best way IMO - one will know the emotional baggage both Rourke and Eve carry around and how they've been dealing are anchors to the world building and overall arc of the story. In Creation in Death that aspect is , thankfully , tone done.🎧

It was fantastic "seeing" the full cast of characters working together to bring down The Groom. The antagonist was an layered and interesting baddy.🎧

Susan Ericksen as the narrator did a splendid job.

wow

One might think that in a long series that the quality of the writing and the stories would diminish. Not so for this series. I loved this one and can't wait for the next.

page turner

love this author and this narrator...suspenseful to the end. nothing more relaxing than a good read

Her Best

This is my favorite. I read nothing but her books. I WOULD LOVE NOT TO HAVE TO LISTEN TO GOD’S NAME CONSTANTLY BEING TAKEN IN VAIN. The books would be better without this since it startles me away from what the writer is saying.

always great

man, this book here was a good one. don't really know how to describe it. just read it. want be disappointed.

Phenomenal

The details and plot are just amazing. Nora provides such diabolical characters. Her writing takes you inside the mind of the criminal. Well done.

Creation in Death

Another great book in the series! Fantastic job by the narrator. I loved the character Ariel and Eve’s interactions with her!

Awesome !!!

Awesome, as usual. I can't get enough Eve, Rourke, and team. They remain some of my very favorite literary characters!

Love these stories

I love these stories. This series, In Death, is a crime show, a romance, and a sci-fi story all in one package. Can't go wrong. #tagsgiving #sweepstakes
