Publisher's summary

In an uptown strip joint, a cop is found bludgeoned to death. The weapon's a baseball bat. The motive's a mystery. It's a case of serious overkill that pushes Eve Dallas straight into overdrive. Her investigation uncovers a private club that's more than a hot spot. Purgatory's a last chance for atonement where everyone is judged. Where your most intimate fate depends on your most intimate sins. And where one cop's hidden secrets are about to plunge innocent souls into vice-ridden damnation.
Crack another case with Eve Dallas.
©2007 J. D. Robb (P)2007 Brilliance Audio

J D Robb and Susan Ericksen

Every now and then I read a comment on the "In Death" series where the reviewer has a negative comment on Susan Ericksen's narration. This baffles me. Ms. Ericksen IS Eve, Roarke, Peabody, etc. I would NEVER want another narrator for this series.
I enjoy Nora Roberts/J D Robb's writing and I love Ms. Ericksen's narration. Please, don't listen to the negative comments. Listen to one of the books and make the decision yourself. I don't think you will regret it.

Wonderful, as usual

I can't imagine anyone else reading the In Death books. Susan Ericksen is great, in my opinion and, after what seems like tons of books in the series she IS the voice of Dallas, Roarke, Peabody (my favorite), the commander and everyone else. The stories are so entertaining and fun to listen to, I wish J.D. Robb could write more of them. When she writes as Nora Roberts, the books don't send me but this series is one of my very favorites.

I'm in Heaven

I just discovered JD Robb's "In Death" series of books not long ago. I'm in book hog heaven! I started with book one and am working my way up the list. As soon as I finish one I move on to the next.

I love the characters. A good plot will fall flat if you don't like the main characters. All of Robb's characters are fleshed out, warts and all.

Susan Ericksen is irreplaceable as the narrator. She does an excellent job.

I highly recommend all of the "In Death" books for a great whodunnit escape in fantasy.

EXCELLENT WRITER AND EXCEPTIONAL NARRATOR!

The plot is as good as ever. Susan Erikson's performance on the different characters were excellent. I love the voice for Rourke with his Irish accent. Eve Dallas as usual got her man. I like how the crime is solved. I am still catching up with the few books in the series that I have not bought yet. I enjoyed the series so far and will continue to follow up.

Beware!! Segments may cause pants-peeing!!

I am at a loss to come up with enough superlatives for J.D. Robb (author) and Susan Ericksen (narrator)!! There are "scenes" in this one that I played for friends, out of context, because they are so PERFECTLY staged. I would point out that that alone should tell you a LOT!! You can't HAVE such scenes if you are not thoroughly engrossed in the story and have a big investment in the characters!!

best scenes of R & D yet

Love watching Peabody come into her own, but Dallas and Roark in this book are the best yet. Their dynamic personalities struggle, tangle and resolve beautifully!

Love, Love, Love This Series

I have been reading this series since about 2000. My rule for audiobooks is read the print version first then listen to the audiobook. When I discovered whispersync I decided to give Naked In Death a try. I immediately fell in love with Susan Erickson's portrayal of the characters and have been gradually putting the series together in audiobook form ever since.

I have sleep issues so want something to block night noises. Since frogs annoy me and waves just make me have to get up and go to the bathroom I decided to try audiobooks. Since I didn't have to pay attention to know the story I found that it works for me. I think at this point it takes about 3 - 4 months to make my way through the series playlist.

Eagerly awaiting the next installment which is due next month.

Another Good Listen!

Loved the story and the development of the characters and only could be narrated by Susan Ericksen. These books are pure entertainment for me and when I am not reading a classic thrillers like Lee Child or Daniel Silvia's books.

What made the experience of listening to Judgment in Death the most enjoyable?

THE WHOLE BOOK HAS A GREAT STORY

What about Susan Ericksen’s performance did you like?

PEABODY

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I WISH BUT ALL OF THE DEATH BOOKS TAKE A WHILE TO READ AS THEY CAN BE A VERY IN DEPTH

Great book

Why Amazon insist on 20 words for a review via kindle, I don't know. Especially when I just want to say that I really enjoyed this book.

Always fantastic

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

I would but only if they had read or listened to the previous ones.

Any additional comments?

This wasn't my favourite In Death book just because a Eve and Roarke spend most of the book in a fight which disturbs me. I think it was necessary for the plot and development but I like them to be close so that's why it wasn't my favourite but still a good story.

Suspense and Drama

Susan Erikson does a masterful narration. She really brings EveDallas to life. This is one of the best In Death books. A great mystery and lots of excitement. I really loved this one.
