Publisher's summary

In a time when technology can reveal the darkest of secrets, there's only one place to hide a crime of passion - in the heart.

The first victim was found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The second was murdered in her own apartment building. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas had no problem finding connections between the two crimes. Both victims were beautiful and highly successful women. Their glamorous lives and loves were the talk of the city. And their intimate relations with men of great power and wealth provided Eve with a long list of suspects - including her own lover, Roarke.

As a woman, Eve was compelled to trust the man who shared her bed. But as a cop, it was her job to follow every lead...to investigate every scandalous rumor...to explore every secret passion, no matter how dark. Or how dangerous.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

LOVE

I cannot stop listening…to and from work and in the evening. I adore Rork and Eve. Periodically, I will shake my head, smile, and laugh. Oh, and the sex scenes? OMG. Please don’t split them up or kill him off. My heart will break. Thank you for relaxing me.

Entertaining

The killer was somewhat easy to figure out, not their reasoning, but just the way that they were introduced in the story. All in all a fantastic book. The characters are believable and exciting.

Eve Dallas In Death Series a must for everyone

I have read each of the books in the series now I am going back and listening to each book. It only gets better each character is perfect. The narrator has the voice and inflections and quirks of each character. This is an amazing series and it is read phenomenally. Great writing, great characters and great reading! It does not get any better then this!

Excellent Futuristic Mystery

In this book, someone's slashing the throats of prominent and successful women. Since the suspects include family friends of Lieutenant Eve Dallas' commander and Eve's lover, Roarke, this becomes a very difficult case for her.
If you haven't read the first book, Naked in Death, I would suggest that you do that first, although this early in the series it's not as important. Just as a warning for those who have never read one of the In Death books, the mystery is not really the most important part in the book. I've heard regular mystery listeners complain that they were able to figure out who committed the murders long before anyone in the books did. That wasn't the case for me - I enjoyed the mystery element in this book - but the relationships are the reason why I keep reading the series and why I reread all the books. In this book, Eve has to deal with her problems with commitment in her relationship with Roarke. The way Eve and Roarke interact is wonderful, and Eve's gradual attempts at making herself more than just a cop are interesting reading. I definitely recommend this book and series to anyone who likes well done and well paced romance with mystery and murder mixed in.

Susan Ericksen was excellent with the delivery of the story

First J.D. Robb

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

She was a great narrator and would listen to her again.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listen while I walk and this was a good story to hold my attention.

Any additional comments?

Will be listening to the rest of the series.

Glory in Death

I am loving this series. I've listened to two of them in the last three days.

Eve and Roarke

I think this is the 3-4th time I've read/listened to this book. Always a pleasure to return to the world of E and R.

Speed Date Review:

At first glance: This is my 2nd go around with JD Robb so it is more like a 2nd chance to fall in love.

First Date: Eve is back on the case in Glory in Death. She is an awesome cop and willing to do whatever it takes to solve the case. I love what a hard-nosed by-the-book cop she can be.

Second Date: I am starting to get the Roarke thing. I mean he gave her a room which just made me melt. I am coming to like them as a couple.

Third Date: What an exhilarating end! I loved how the case worked out and have to say that I am sold!

I love Susan's narration. I think her pacing is really spot on and her voice for Eve is perfect. I still don't like her Roarke, it is growing on me :) I will be continuing these on audio!

Dating Status: Considering a relationship

Good read!

I liked this books storyline, I started with the first in the series and I think the mystery was better in the first, i also think the first moved a little faster. But overall enjoyable, easy listen.

Glory in Death

Alway a good series, a terrific read on the road or on a weekend excape.
