Publisher's summary

In this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, Detective Eve Dallas' investigation of a homicide at her husband’s hotel leads to a murderer with a passion for the finer things in life - and in death...

At the luxurious Roarke Palace Hotel, a maid walks into suite 4602 for the nightly turndown - and steps into her worst nightmare. A killer leaves her dead, strangled by a thin silver wire. He’s Sly Yost, a virtuoso of music and murder. A hit man for the elite. Lieutenant Eve Dallas knows him well. But in this twisted case, knowing the killer doesn’t help solve the crime. Because there’s someone else involved. Someone with a more personal motive. And Eve must face a terrifying possibility - that the real target may, in fact, be her husband Roarke…

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

OUTSTANDING

Truly LOVE these books, outstanding listening, Eve, Peabody, Summerset, Cheif Tible. Amazing How Ms. Erickson switches between characters. GREAT job, performance A+. My commute to and from work and sometimes in between listen...

J.D. Robb & Susan Ericksen a 5* recipe

Would you listen to Betrayal in Death again? Why?

I am an avid reader so for me to purchase an audio of a book that I've read it has to be special. Betrayal In Death is another great audio. I have listened to J.D. Robb's in Death series multiple times and am still entertained by Susan Erickson's characterizations. Out of 44 in Death books with the 45th Calculated in Death due in Feb. 2013, I am rarely disappointed. This one's a keeper!

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

I have read all the in Death series multiple times and do purchase the unabridged audios of the most interesting reads, this one made the list. Betrayal in Death has a fast paced plot, with lots of investigative action and trademark Eve & Roarke byplay. With a surprising guest Robb gives us another treat into Roarke's interesting past. I love the supporting characters and Robb teases us with more Summerset/Eve interaction. The Feds get involved in this one and Eve kicks butt!

What about Susan Ericksen’s performance did you like?

Susan Erickson's interpretation of the text and characters is spot on, she keeps it believable. Erickson must have a multiple personality disorder because I could swear that they 'exist'. Erickson doesn't forget which character she is speaking for and stays within their personality. Great job.

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

Robb spent a great deal of time with the plot of this crime and it shows, I laughed and cried but to tell you why would spoil the story.

Any additional comments?

Believe me when I say this audio would be a positive addition to the in Death fans and to those who are new to Robb a great start. If you need to judge my taste, some of my other in Death favs were: Survivor, Treachery, Kindred, Vengeance and New York to Dallas.

Another great book!!

Well Planned Murder

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

The character continuity within the series, the complexity of the plot, and the exciting action.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Betrayal in Death?

The action and climax around the end of the story.

Which character – as performed by Susan Ericksen – was your favorite?

Roarke, his Irish brogue....I'm slowly getting to appreciate her performance of McNabb, too.

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

Yes. It was exciting and enjoyable.

Any additional comments?

No.

Loved it. It was brilliant as always.

McNabs voice need some work though. Too unnatural. It needs to sound less performed. Yeah.

Good as usual

I really enjoy the narrator of this series. She does an excellent job. A narrator can make or break an audio book.

Many betrayals

This is a story of betrayal on several levels. Magda the actress is auctioning her collectibles, but is betrayed by family. Roarke is betrayed by a childhood friend.
The most memorable part is Roarke calling Eve his one thing that he wanted or needed above all others. I enjoyed how Eve tracked down Yost through the details.
Ericksen again does a great job of narration.
