Immortal in Death

In Death, Book 3

By: J. D. Robb

Narrated by: Susan Ericksen

She was one of the most sought after women in the world. A top model who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted - even another woman's man. And now she was dead, the victim of a brutal murder. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas put her professional life on the line to take the case when suspicion fell on her best friend, the other woman in the fatal love triangle.

Beneath the façade of glamour, Eve found that the world of high fashion thrived on an all-consuming obsession for youth and fame. One that led from the runway to the dark underworld of New York City where drugs could be found to fulfill any desire - for a price.

Gripping futuristic detective and romance novel

Writing futuristic detective novels with a touch of romance is something Nora Roberts, with the pen name of J. D. Robb, has become very good at over the years. In this book, fierce homicide lieutenant Eve Dallas, with a troubled past, can hardly believe she's about to marry zillionaire Roarke, who had an equally difficult youth. But that becomes just a minor complication when she heads up a murder investigation with her best friend Mavis as the prime suspect. As one might expect, there are divided loyalties and unexpected plot twists, and the author keeps you guessing about the final outcome until the very end. This book is number 3 in a series of, as of 2020, 50 titles. If you haven't read or listened to numbers 1 and 2 in the series, Naked in Death and Glory in Death, you would do yourself a favour to start with these two titles first, before reading Immortal in Death. Nora Roberts as J. D. Robb does an outstanding job as the author of stories set in the mid 21st century, with only a few suppositions about the future having been proven wrong already, like the supposed use of fax machines in the 2040s and 2050s. Other than such minor incorrect guesses, she creates a very credible image of what American society could look like in that era. And her masterful creation of some very interesting characters the reader can quickly relate to, coupled with some very interesting plots, makes the books in this series gripping page turners. And this audio book was read very well, with some believable accents and character voices.

Good listen

Loved it! I am a big fan of jd Robb and the naked in death series.

Steadfast Series

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

Yes. The story was a good mystery. I didn't guess the end which is always worth a star. Even the side characters and potential suspects are well done. The two main characters envelop you into the story.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

It didn't keep me on the edge of my seat. The story has enough build up, subtle twists and side stories.

What does Susan Ericksen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She does the characters, inflection, and pace so well.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Dallas, her man, friends and murder

Any additional comments?

Just fun

Great story

Great story, keeps you guessingl; love the characters and the narrator does a wonderful job. I have read many of the "In Death" series and enjoy them all so far.

Why Immortal?

I am far beyond the plot of the story!..

Flashbacks of Eve's past dragged the darkness out of forbidden places of my psych that I have been hiding for so long... Cries, pleas, and struggles of a little girl were surreal and shattered my want to believe perfect self...

What is the immorality? Is it a flashbacks that hunt us for the rest of our lives or the images of death that we won’t let go?

I love the ultimate intertwine of love, suspend, and psychology…
