Bonded in Death

By: J. D. Robb

Narrated by: Susan Ericksen

“The energy and artistry Ericksen puts into her presentation make for an exciting listen.”—AudioFile (Earphones Award Winner)

The #1 New York Times bestselling author J. D. Robb spins an epic tale of loyalty, treachery, murder, and the long shadow of war…

His passport read Giovanni Rossi. But decades ago, during the Urban Wars, he was part of a small, secret organization called The Twelve. Responding to an urgent summons from an old compatriot, he landed in New York and eased into the waiting car. And died within minutes…

Lieutenant Eve Dallas finds the Rossi case frustrating. She’s got an elderly victim who’d just arrived from Rome; a widow who knows nothing about why he’d left; an as-yet unidentifiable weapon; and zero results on facial recognition. But when she finds a connection to the Urban Wars of the 2020s, she thinks Summerset—fiercely loyal, if somewhat grouchy, major-domo and the man who’d rescued her husband from the Dublin streets—may know something from his stint as a medic in Europe back then.

When Summerset learns of the crime, his shock and grief are clear—because, as he eventually reveals, he himself was one of The Twelve. It’s not a part of his past he likes to revisit. But now he must—not only to assist Eve’s investigation, but because a cryptic message from the killer has boasted that others of The Twelve have also died. Summerset is one of those who remain—and the murderous mission is yet to be fully accomplished…

Critic reviews

"The thrills keep on coming, and the final interrogation...is as satisfying as ever." —<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>

Interesting Look Back

This story included lots of Eve an Roarke working together. Loved it. I read it in one day. I will reread it again.

Fantastic

It’s been a while since I’ve read and listened the end death series… I believe this is one of the best books that JD wrote. Sometimes I feel some of the stories are really not her own, but this one grabbed me by the throat. It was so well done. I could listen to it again and again. I have the whole collection of JD Rob’s in death series and Susan Erickson is the best narrator. For this series. If anyone out there who likes a really good who done it and good triumphs over evil this is a book for you. I could go on and on and on. but I would just waste your time. And I can make one suggestion, even though this is book 60 I can’t believe I would start at the beginning with book one and read or listen to the whole series because they all enter. relate with the fantastic characters that JD has created in the series so anyways enjoy big time

Great story of urban war heroes

As always, JD Robb hits it out of the park. Eve, always rough around the edges, is brilliant at her job.

Excellent

Another great edition to the in death series. As always the audiobook was excellent! Also liked getting more background into Summersets past.

Best series in the world!

I’ve enjoyed this series for years. I listen to it from the beginning at least once a tea

The connections between the characters and the interesting plot was amazing.

I liked how Dallas and Somerset grew closer and we got to know more about Somerset

Story line

I like that this storyline let a little bit differently than some of the previous books. And explored different characters.

They just get better

I’ve read all from the very beginning and they continue to get better. The characters grow and change, and the stories continue to capture the attention

Another killer book! Pun intended 😬

Loved everything. Love Susan E as a reader! She is part of the series now and it could not exist without her.

The Villain

this story was good from the start. all the characters were excellent and I liked hearing more about Somerset's past
