Delusion In Death

In Death, Book 35

By: J. D. Robb

Narrated by: Susan Ericksen

Length: 13 hrs and 8 mins

Publisher's summary

It was just another after-work happy-hour bar downtown, where business professionals unwound with a few drinks, complained about the boss, maybe hooked up with someone for the night. Until something went terribly wrong. At first it was just a friction in the air. The noise intensified. The crowd seemed oppressive. Some sharp words were exchanged, some pushing and shoving.

Then the madness descended. And after 12 minutes of chaos and violence, 80 people lay dead.

Eve Dallas is trying to sort out the inexplicable events. Surviving witnesses talk about seeing things - monsters and swarms of bees. They describe sudden, overwhelming feelings of fear and rage and paranoia. When forensics makes its report, the mass delusions make more sense: it appears the bar patrons were exposed to a cocktail of chemicals and illegal drugs that could drive people into temporary insanity - if not kill them outright.

But that doesn’t explain who would unleash such horror - or why. Eve’s husband, Roarke, happens to own the bar, yet he’s convinced the attack wasn’t directed at him. It’s bigger than that. And if Eve can’t figure it out fast, it could happen again, anytime, anywhere. Because it’s airborne....

Delusion in Death

This was a great and hard one to listen to! A fantastic job by both author and narrator!

How does she KEEP cranking these out?

Eve Dallas. If you haven't met her yet, go back to the very beginning. If you have met her, chances are you are here after 34 other stories of Eve, Roarke, Peabody, and the gang--and this one is one of the best of the lot!

The interaction between Eve and Myra in this particular volume was a treat for Dallas fans. There is a nice twist in the mystery as well.

Now.... when is the next one out?

not the best but it'll do

I've read all books that lead to this one. it wasn't my favorite but was a good story.

Eve

Suspenseful, exciting, fast pace and quite terrifying when you have an over active imagination like mine.

Great story

If you could sum up Delusion In Death in three words, what would they be?

Gets better and better

What did you like best about this story?

I like to see Eve and Roarke develop in their relationship. I have also really like Somerset throughout these books, and it was great to learn a little more about him as well.

Have you listened to any of Susan Ericksen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Susan Ericson narrate all the In Death books. She doesn't disappoint with this one, either.

Any additional comments?

Every six months I can't wait to listen to the next installment.

Love all Nora Roberts/J D Robb books.

Would you consider the audio edition of Delusion In Death to be better than the print version?

Yes, Susan Ericksen brings the story to life. When I hear Dallas and Peabody, I see them in my mines eye and I know them like old friends.

Who was your favorite character and why?

It's hard to choose just one favorite character, because they all add up to make the whole story line great. I love Dallas' character, but I have to say, Peabody is my favorite. She is loyal, funny and agood team player.

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

Ms. Ericksen brings each character to life. she gives Dallas'sharp mine and Peabody's smart mouth a very believable face.

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

This book, like all of Nora Roberts'books, was a real page turner. You just cann't put it down until you know what happens next.

Dallas kicks the behind action

Love Dallas books! Always entertaining with interesting stories and a good laugh. Can’t wait for the next.

PEABODY

The voice of Peabody did not match the picture os her that I have in my head

Nice!!

I really liked this one! This didn't have the small chapters that were told from the criminals perspective, it was all Dallas and Co. It also had a bit of a surprise in the end. The story was good- this is why I still like this series, even 35 full length books in. I have been disappointed in the past but this delivered. Susan Ericksen did a great job, as usual.

Amazing

One of the best ones so far! I never get tired of Peabody and Eve’s dynamic!!
