Publisher's summary

Reva Ewing, a former member of the Secret Service and a security specialist for Roarke Enterprises, is a prime suspect in a double homicide. She had every reason to want to kill her husband, the renowned artist Blair Bissel. Not only was he having an affair, he was having it with her best friend.

But Lieutenant Eve Dallas, who's on the case, believes Reva is innocent. Eve's instincts tell her that the murder scene looks too perfectly staged, the apparent answers too obvious. And when she digs for more, she discovers that at nearly the exact time a kitchen knife was jammed into the victim's ribs, the passcode to his art studio was changed - and all of the data on his computer deliberately corrupted.

To Roarke, it's the computer attack that poses the real threat. Signs show that this is the nightmare his company has secretly been preparing for. He and Reva have been under a code-red government contract to develop a program that would shield against a new breed of hackers, the Doomsday Group. These techno-terrorists with brilliant minds and plenty of financial backing hack into systems, steal data, and corrupt computer units on a large scale - and kill anyone who gets too close.

Eve and Roarke must infiltrate an extraordinarily secretive government agency to expose the corruption at its core, before the virus spreads from one office to a corporation to the entire country.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

…??? Susan ??

Oookay first off I enjoyed the story!! New detective new partner!! And the reading of it is fantastic as always when Susan reads … but is this really Susan? The reader sounded young … wayyy young not the usually huskiness I’m used to. Sound like it was her daughter reading…. Not mad tho. It’s good doesn’t detract … just make u go hmmm … Roarke is on point ! No worries there

Divided in Death

Another great book in the series! And a fantastic job by the narrator. She really brings this series to life!

Love these characters

The smooth move to “mommy & daddy fighting” three a nice twist to the story line.

Good story but Eve was too bitchy

I love this series but this is the first time I wanted to smack Eve. She is bitchy and has a high horse attitude

A REAT BOOK TO READ BECAUSE IT HAD EVERYTHING IN IT

Simply Divine

This is my second time through this timeless series. And I'm enjoying it just as much as I did the first time. I could talk about the amazing character development and plot and action and sizzle between Roarke and Eve - and many other things that make a novel exciting enough to read more than once.

Then there's the undeniable talent of Susan Ericksen, who epitomizes narration with her stunning "visualization" of Nora's seductive characters.

But I'll just stop by suggesting you don't miss the opportunity to enjoy this exciting and creative journey with Eve and Roarke and the gang.

Intense, super interesting !

Book was intense - couldn't stop listening to it. Really recommend it. Now I'm ready for the next one.

Intrigue galore.

Oh, these nefarious murderers! Lt. Eve Dallas, Roarke, et.al., determinedly sort through a true mess of fried electronics and murder scenes to sift out the identity of the most recent homicide to land in Eve's lap. However, as HSO (Homeland Security Organization) attempts to stick its nose in NYPSD business, NYPSD will not tolerate it (of course). Susan Ericksen narrates with dramatic flare (though some of the usual voices sounded off at times - whatever that is about). Dialogue and plot zigs and zags continue to intrigue me even though I believe this is my second time with the book with this time being with Audible format.

Divided House

This book is great, I have listened to it twice already. Reva Ewing went to see her best friend to fight, she has just found out about her relationship with her husband. Braking in to the house she storms in to the bedroom to find her best friend and husband in bed both dead. Now that she is back on her feet, she is the prime suspect. Dallas must find what happened, with some big problems. Reva works for Roarke and is Caro's daughter.
Dallas quickly comes to the conclusion that Reva is being set up. Dallas must find out why someone wants to set Reva up and if it has to do anything with the work that she does for Roarke. She has been working on developing a program that would shield against a new breed of hackers, the Doomsday Group. The more that Dallas looks in to these murders the weirder it gets.
This book has many different turns in the story line. J.D. Robb did a great job with this story, with secret groups working for the government and working against. Susan Ericksen does a wonderful job with the narration of this book making the characters come to life.

One of my favorites of this series

Would you listen to Divided in Death again? Why?

Yes, This books shows Roarke and Eve at odds and yet overcoming their differences and growing together. Something new for the both of them.

Which scene was your favorite?
