Strangers in Death

In Death, Book 26

By: J. D. Robb

Narrated by: Susan Ericksen

Length: 13 hrs and 13 mins

Publisher's summary

Technology may be different in 2060 New York, yet the city is still a place of many cultures and great divides. And as ever, some murders receive more attention than others - especially those in which the victim is a prominent businessman found in his Park Avenue apartment tied to the bed - and strangled - with cords of black velvet.

It doesn't surprise Lieutenant Eve Dallas that Thomas Anders' scandalous death is a source of titillation and speculation for the public - and humiliation for his family. While everyone else in the city is talking about it, those close to Anders aren't so anxious to do so. Fortunately, because Dallas' billionaire husband, Roarke, happens to own the prime real estate where Anders's sporting-goods firm was headquartered, she has some help with access.

Before long, she's knocking on doors - or barging through them - to look for the answers she needs. But the facts don't add up. Physical evidence suggests that the victim didn't struggle. The security breach in the highly fortified apartment indicates that the killer was someone close to Anders, but everyone's alibi checks out, from the wife who was off in the tropics to the loving nephew who stands to inherit millions. Was this a crime of passion - or a carefully planned execution?

It's up to Dallas to solve a sensational case where all involved guard secrets from one another - and strangers may be connected in unexpected and deadly ways.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

Critic reviews

"Concisely narrated with verve and humor by Susan Ericksen.... Her Irish accent for Roarke is uncannily believable as is the voice of a character who is suffering from a terrible cold. The production is engaging, and Ericksen's verbal nuances add drama to the novel." (AudioFile)

Another great

If you like the previous books in the “In Death” series you are in for another treat!

Strangers is A-1!!

You would think, after reading the previous 25 books in the series I would be tire of Eve Dallas and Roarke. There you would be wrong. Strangers in Death is just as fresh and interesting. J. D. Robb's main characters stay true from book 1 to book 26. I love that Eve has grown over the years. She is a strong woman make even stronger by the relationships she has been roped into. Eve and her husband "Ace" Roarke's marriage grows richer with book.The plot is one of J. D. Robb's best yet. I'm looking forward to the next 15 or so books. Susan Ericksen is an amazing narrator. She does male and female voices equally well, especially Roarke. #Suspenseful #Clever #Friends #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Strangers in Death

Nothing gets by Eve Dallas and her team! The narrator of this series is absolutely the best! She does such a great job with characters and individual voices that you never need the story to tell you who’s speaking.

Missing some trial time!

Loved this book, but wanted to hear Ava get hers!

I can't put these books down. They are like candy so I can't wait for the next one!

Dallas lays a trap

Good book. Eve knows who killed the victim, but must figure out how to prove it. The villain is deliciously evil and is fun to hate.

great

loved it just trying to get the rest of the books.... I love these books and can read these all the time

Death was only one more adventure untried

Strangers in death is inspired by one of my favorite Alfred Hitchcock movies ; which was an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's thriller Strangers in a train. This book is #26 in the In Death series . I liked it but it was very drawn out and dare I say , even boring to some extent. Susan Ericksen did a good job narrating the story.

Strangers in Death

Excellent storyline, killer thought she had Eve, I enjoyed watching Dallas take her down. Excellent narration as usual. I reccomend this book and series.

Binge listen

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Years ago I got hooked on Eve Dallas' personality and the characters she deals with while on the job in 2060 New York. Then I put the series away and went on to listen to others. On a whim, I started again at book one and have gone straight thru to book 40. Wonderful summer escape. Susan Erickson IS Eve Dallas. She has infused each character with a distinctive voice and personality. I hope there is another 40 books and my friend Eve is forever.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Peabody. Yes, Eve Dallas is a wonderful, flawed personality, but Peabody is a joy. She is always good for a laugh.

Awesome reading

Another hit by JDRobb. Keeps your attention. You'll want to read the entire series.
