Publisher's summary

The number-one New York Times best selling In Death series explodes with intrigue, passion, and suspense. Now, Nora Roberts, writing as J. D. Robb, propels you into the darkest night of Lieutenant Eve Dallas' life - when a killer comes to call.

Eve's name has made a Christmas list, but it's not for being naughty or nice. It's for putting a serial killer behind bars. Now the escaped madman has her in his sights. With her husband, Roarke, at her side, Eve must stop the man from exacting his bloody vengeance - or die trying.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


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.

Eve and Roarke

Eve is not going to let one madman ruin her Christmas so she and Roarke pool their resources in this short to put him back into the loony bin. Fast pace with a punch.

This was intriguing, like all of J. D. Robb’s that I have read. I enjoy reading and rereading them!

Short, sweet, and succinct.

As the review title suggests...short, sweet, and succinct. The required 15 words is superfluous.

Short but Great

This one was really short, but still had a great plot and scenes with the minor characters, especially Mira. I also love Roarke when he gets all protective, even though Eve is more than capable of handling herself! Somerset trying to be civil was also a part that made me chuckle.

Another great listen!

An Old Nemesis Returns

What made the experience of listening to Midnight in Death the most enjoyable?

Good narration, familiar, well-written characters, good continuity in the series all make this story enjoyable.

Would you recommend Midnight in Death to your friends? Why or why not?

Yes, as a part of this mystery series but this is not the strongest of the stories.

What about Susan Ericksen’s performance did you like?

Good narration, all voices; especially Roarke's Irish brogue.

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

Yes, it was short, too short.

Any additional comments?

The ending seemed rushed. Seems to me that the complex stories with long backstory and high suspense for the major characters should be drawn out more, not rushed.
