Calculated in Death

In Death, Book 36

De: J. D. Robb

Narrado por: Susan Ericksen

Lieutenant Eve Dallas must immerse herself in her billionaire husband Roarke’s world of big business to uncover the identity of a hit man in this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series.

On Manhattan’s East Side a woman lies dead at the bottom of the stairs, stripped of all her valuables. Most cops might call it a mugging gone wrong, but Lieutenant Eve Dallas knows better.

A well-off accountant and a beloved wife and mother, Marta Dickenson doesn’t seem the type to be on anyone’s hit list. But when Eve and her partner, Peabody, find blood inside the building, the lieutenant knows Marta’s murder was the work of a killer who’s trained, but not professional or smart enough to remove all the evidence.

But when someone steals the files out of Marta’s office and the killer’s violent streak begins to escalate, Eve knows she has to draw him out, even if it means using herself as bait…

yes

Who was your favorite character and why?

Eav as always the reading of her is portrayed so well

Which scene was your favorite?

when eav's cat was offended about her being around a panther cub, one of those moments that lightens the story

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

alot of parts were amusing because of the way Eav is so offten twisting common sayings and the parts about m murder and greed just made me sad. because it's so true of so many

JD and Susan Erickson awesome team

This was not one of my favorites as it was a little slow, but it was still a great story. I am addicted to this In Death series. Can't wait till the next one.

Good, Solid Book

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book, but only after having read some of the others in the series. This book was solid and a good listen, but there were a lot of details that were left hanging, which isn't usual for Nora Roberts. She mentions the villain has a mistress, starts to develop the character and... nothing. The book veers off and she never comes back to it. Very strange for her and a little perplexing, almost as if she changed her mind in mid story. Still a book I enjoyed.

What about Susan Ericksen’s performance did you like?

I love Susan Ericksen's performances - she's amazing.

Not my favorite In Death novel

It wasn’t great and it wasn’t terrible. It was just sort of middle of the road. It took me weeks to listen to unlike many others that I speed through in a couple days.

Calculated in a Death

I don’t know that I’ll get enough of this series and its’ characters. With every series, the people just become more alive and gel. The narrator does a terrific job, as normal!
