Resumen del Editor

In a New York City fifty years in the future, Detective Eve Dallas tracks down those who break the law - including the ones sworn to uphold it.

Eve Dallas and her partner, Peabody, are following up on a brutal, senseless crime - an elderly grocery owner killed by three stoned punks for nothing more than kicks and snacks. And for the first time, Peabody is primary detective on the case, which means she has to get used to a new level of authority and responsibility. Good thing she learned the ropes from a master like Eve.

But after rounding up the perps, Peabody stumbles upon a much trickier situation. Determined to start working out as hard as she grills suspects, she chooses to do it at the old, rarely-used gym at Central. After a grueling workout, she squeezes into one of the narrow shower stalls, happy to have the place to herself. Just after she shuts the water off, the gym door clatters open - and while she cringes inside the stall, trying not to make a sound, Peabody overhears two fellow officers, Garnet and Oberman, arguing. References are made to delivering product, and a house in the islands, and someone named Keener who’s supposed to look like an OD. It doesn’t take long for a naked and vulnerable Peabody to realize that both officers are crooked - guilty not just of corruption but of murder as well. Fortunately, the two clear out of the locker room without realizing there was a witness.

Eve Dallas may have trained Peabody well - but this is too dangerous for one person to take on alone. Now Peabody, Eve, and her husband, Roarke, must try to get the hard evidence they need to bring the dirty cops down - knowing all the while that the two have already killed to keep their secret, and are no doubt willing to do it again.

Best book ever in J.D. Robb's Death Series

Treachery in Death is my favorite of all J.D. Robb's Death Series books. I have listened to them all in and out of order. Thank you J.D. Robb for keeping Eve Dallas & Roarke alive with a new offering each year.
In this book I feel J.D. Robb really lets us know each character to a fuller depth. From Eve, Roarke, Peabody, to the Chief, I feel I know them as if they were friends or family. The story is great and I loved every minute of it. I did not want it to end. Susan Ericksen makes these books come alive. She has got to be one of the best female narrator's of all time.
I loved this new addition to the 21st Century's "In Death" Series. Thank you J.D. Robb.

I Heart Dallas!

The 'In Death' series is definitely one of my favorites, greatly due to the wonderful narrative efforts of Susan Ericksen. She makes the characters jump off the page and straight into your head. I see very vividly - Eve, Peabody, Roarke, McNab and even the cat, in my mind when she's telling each story. Treachery in Death is no exception. J D changeed her M. O. a bit and gave us the villians right away. That was certainly a twist and added great depth to this installment. I love seeing Peabody grow and the familiar cast of characters are always great to come back to. This is one that shouldn't be missed. Looking forward to the next one already.

I like Peabody!

I've read other reviews where people don't like the way Peabody is narrated. But I really like it because it makes me like the character. She's just so cute!

WOW !

This was fabulous!

The development of Peabody's character was great!

I just loved how the book intertwined so many different parts of the story and came out with a wonderful book. They just keep getting better.

My favorite thus far.

Excellent story line with unbelievable narration. Highly recommend...my favorite in the series so far.

Exciting

Would you listen to Treachery In Death again? Why?

This is my first time reading any of the Eve Dallas series. I'm not a big futuristic fan but this book was really good. Now I want to hear more books in the series.

Best in the series

I’ve been entertained by the “In Death” series for years. When I joined Audible I decided to listen to the books in order. I had missed this book but reading it now through Audible, it is by far my favorite in the series. I loved everything about this book and highly recommend it.

Cops gone bad

Eve Dallas can be the biggest witch in the world. She is rude and self-important. To her nothing is an important as what she is doing. Roark is so good to her and is always available to help her, but she can’t even bother to be polite to his friends. I want to slap her silly. It takes a great writer such as JD Robb/Nora Roberts to create such amazingly vivid characters that can evoke such emotion from a reader/listener. Now that Eve’s rudeness is off my chest, I will discuss the book.

Delia Peabody, my very favorite In Death character, overhears two cops discussing their crooked business and how they had someone killed. One of the bad cops is the daughter of an exalted retired Police Commander. Peabody and Eve want to get to bottom of the bad cop business and have them put in a cage, but the bad woman cop is high ranking and the daughter of a retired and revered Commander. She seems to be untouchable unless Peabody and Eve can develop air tight proof. Roark is helping in the effort even though Eve fails to support him in his personal and business endeavors. Eve's excellent group of detectives back her up in order to bring down the bad cop cartel. Susan Erikson, the narrator, is perfection. She helps make the In Death series one of the best on Audible.

A real high point in the series!

Until now, Born in Death was my favorite book in the series. This but however when's all the drama points! Itwas so good I wish it could have been just a little longer with a little more information on some of the threads.

My favorite book!

I have ever one of these books in the series and this is my favorite one! I come back often just to re-listen to it. It’s amazing!!
