Homicide detective Eve Dallas must untangle a twisted family history while a hostage’s life hangs in the balance—in the new In Death novel by New York Times bestselling author J. D. Robb.

The woman’s body was found in the early morning, on a bench in a New York City playground. She was clean, her hair neatly arranged, her makeup carefully applied. But other things were very wrong—like the tattoo and piercings, clearly new. The clothes, decades out of date. The fatal wound hidden beneath a ribbon around her neck. And the note: Bad Mommy, written in crayon as if by a child.

Eve Dallas turns to the department’s top profiler, who confirms what seems obvious to Eve: They’re dealing with a killer whose childhood involved some sort of trauma—a situation Eve is all too familiar with herself. Yet the clues suggest a perpetrator who’d be roughly sixty years old, and there are no records of old crimes with a similar MO. What was the trigger that apparently reopened such an old wound and sent someone over the edge?

When Eve discovers that other young women—who physically resemble the first victim—have vanished, the clock starts ticking louder. But to solve this case she will need to find her way into a hidden place of dim light and concrete, into the distant past, and into the cold depths of a shattered mind.

Great!

Only disappointment is that I finished it by the end of the day! Looking forward to the next one, as always. JD Robb and Eve Dallas are always entertaining!

Another Great Eve Dallas and crew book

I enjoy getting with Eve, Rouke and the rest of the gang. I wish I had some of Eve's friends.

Grit

Grit drives Dallas and made her and Roark the survivors and thrivers they have become. This series continues to be one of my favorites because of their humanity and gritty spirit to defend who and what they love.

Still loving In Death Stories

Over 50 books and not bored yet. Susan Erickson is by far one of the best performers, talented, and Fantastic. The story itself very catching. I was not disappointed. I re-listen to this series regularly mainly because other stories just don’t capture me as theses do. However, Nora Roberts story “Witness” and “The Search” are super awesome as well.

Solid Eve Dallas mystery

Solid story. Appearances from all my favourite characters. This isn’t one of the most suspenseful or emotionally wrenching stories. Nothing too far-fetched. Just a really solid continuation of the Eve Dallas universe. Well worth my Audible credit.
