In Death Series

Narrado por: Susan Ericksen

In New York City in 2059, someone is pursuing missing gems from a decades-old heist...someone who's willing to kill for them. Sharp-witted and sexy, NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas is used to travelling in the shadowy corners outside the law. And in a future where crime meets cutting-edge technology, she will attempt to track down the diamonds once and for all - and stop the danger and death that have surrounded them for years.

Popcorn for the Brain

I love books that teach me new things about history, science or ethical dilemmas. I love books that make me think and test assumptions. I love to have my opinions and convictions challenged and stringently tested. This book has absolutely none of those attributes!

Every once and awhile I love a kick-back book that entertains me while not challenging me in any way. This whole series qualifies. The narrator is absolutely perfect for this genre. Yes there is some gratuitous sex from time to time, but what one of us doesn't secretly like a little bit of that.

If you want to be in a true, happy brainless state for a short period, these books are consistently excellent.

Love Eve Dallas

I love the way she portrays all the characters. You can always tell who is talking.

Voices

The voices of the characters are different than the other books 1 through 17. Other than that it was good

another wonderful thriller

What did you love best about Big Jack?

i loved the plot and the characters.

If you’ve listened to books by J. D. Robb before, how does this one compare?

this book is right up there with naked in death; her first book.

Which character – as performed by Susan Ericksen – was your favorite?

Eve, Peabody, Roark.

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

yes

Any additional comments?

read these books in order so you can enjoy all of them.

Enjoyed this second of a two parter.

I enjoyed the idea and the execution of the two part book written by different pen names in the different genres. When I saw the audible for part two I had to get it.

As usual Erickson does a great job. Having just recently listened to book 54 it’s funny listening to this one where Peabody is a newly minted detective!

The story is twisty with interesting theories working through. Fun to see Eve’s process throughout, especially juxtaposed with killer’s POV.

Fascinating plot

I love this series and enjoy escaping from life’s bumps. Thank you very much for author and narrator

Almost missed it

Because this wasn't written with "death" in the title I almost missed it. It was one of the faster-moving story lines. Loved it! (It's right after Peabody makes Detective.)

A great listen

This is the sequel to Hot Rocks. It's also an In Death book, I think 17.5. It's nice because you get a peek at Laine and Max from Hot Rocks 50 years later. It keeps your attention and is a good way to breeze through household chores. It would make a great beach book too. Susan Ericksen does a great job.

A shorter Eve that is as good as full-length

Several times in the past I've found the shorter nouvellas not as good as the full-length books, but this one is very good.
Someone kills a house sitter watching a house where an author is on tour. The author wrote a book about a real-life crime involving missing diamonds. Baxter and Trueheart catch another case -- a young woman who works for a cleaning service is killed. The same cleaning service that the author uses. What are the odds the murders are unrelated?
It's a fast read and has all the touches we've come to love in Eve Dallas books. Loved it!

For the love of Nora Roberts/JD Robb

Another great book. I love all the In Death series. I have read them all and have started listening to them again while awaiting the next one. ❤️
