Publisher's summary

No affairs. No criminal connections. No DNA. No clues. Eve Dallas may be the best cop in the city - not to mention having the lavish resources of her husband Roarke at her disposal - but the Swisher case has her baffled. The family members were murdered in their beds with brutal, military precision. The state-of-the-art security was breached, and the killers used night vision to find their way through the cozy middle-class house. Clearly, Dallas is dealing with pros. The only mistake they made was to overlook the nine-year-old girl cowering in the dark in the kitchen...

Now Nixie Swisher is an orphan - and the sole eyewitness to a seemingly inexplicable crime. Kids are not Dallas' strong suit. But Nixie needs a safe place to stay, and Dallas needs to solve this case. Not only because of the promise she made to Nixie. Not only for the cause of justice. But also to put to rest some of her own darkest memories - and deepest fears. With her partner Peabody on the job, and watching her back - and with Roarke providing the kind of help only he can give - Lieutenant Eve Dallas is running after shadows, and dead-set on finding out who's behind them.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

Each book gets better and better

I think this was my favorite Eve book so far! I do like when there is a mystery ending/ mystery bad guy but this was a great chance!

Best one!

this was great I couldn't put it down. The narrator is always fantastic the story always comes alive

This one grabs hold of you & won't let go!

Would you listen to Survivor in Death again? Why?

Yes I will at some stage.. I am sure I will listen to most if not all of this series again.. The characters have become like family to me and the action is compelling!

What did you like best about this story?

This addition to the series was one of the best so far ( I'm up to book 28). It was the depth of the crime, the impact it had on the little girl nixie and most of all the way she affected Eve, Roarke and Somerset. I love the fact that we got to see more of Eve and Roarke's true feelings and hidden wounds. There were also some really humorous moments as they floundered with the concept of looking after a child, not to mention some really deep, painful and poignant emotional moments for them all. This one is a winner but of course you need to read at the very least books 1 to 4 to form an understanding and bond with the people in the series. Also, the narrator is in the top two of the many I have heard. . I cannot fathom how she consistently pulls off so many different voices! It really is like listening to a cast of actors. . The men actually sound like men, Roarke's Irish accent makes me melt.. and the other characters both male and female all sound unique. Amazing..

Which scene was your favorite?

I cant recall off the top of my head as I am about 8 books further along in the series now..

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did both at various points in the book.. it really pulled at all types of feelings.

Any additional comments?

This is the first book/series that I have reviewed yet I have read and listened to over 200 books in the last year alone. . Ive enjoyed most of them and I have enjoyed many kinds of series in diverse genres, yet I have to say that this series is one of the best. Go get book one and be drawn into the drama, grit and heart of the 'in death' world.

Outstanding!

I loved the series but what shocked me is how much I loved this narrator. She really brings this series to life. This is the first audio book I've listened that was more like listening to a play than someone reading a bunch of words. I'm hooked. Looking for more outstanding narrators but will definitely keep coming back to this one and this series.

J. D. You got it going on

I have ever book of J.D. Robb and look for the next one with expectation for I love ever one. And to all that have bad thing to say if you don’t like it don’t lessen to it or read it we don’t what to know. If you can’t say anything good don’t say anything at all!!! Keep it to yourself. We all that lesson to Mrs. Robb love her.

Not my favorite narrator but love the series. sounds like a different person narrating from the earlier books.

It Gets Better and Better

I loved this book and series, I loved the storyline and how the series gets better as it progresses. The child in this book brought out a softness in Dallas. Fantastic narration, I highly recommend this book and series

Story line woven marvelously through lives of all

It was great to have Somerset more involved and to see more of his personality. Growing cast of characters and relationships very interesting
