Publisher's summary

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…

Narrator ruined this book for me!

The story was gripping but I almost stopped listening because of Susan Ericksen's narration. The voice of the detective partner, Peabody, was so annoying and distracting that I didn't want to hear it anymore. Some of her other characters were equally as annoying. Won't listen to another book with her as narrator.

another great in death book

loved it and have listened for second time, recommend you read this book soon as possible

Excellent as always.

Murderers who come to the attention of Eve Dallas, Roarke and team beware. No one gets away. So true as an innocent accountant dies at the hands of a so-called mugger on Dallas' watch. A "simple" murder turns into complicated illegal financial maneuverings and more murders. All of this tries to interfere with the premier of The Icove Agenda film. Spot-on dialogue, tight relationships and a plot full of tension makes for excellent reading. Narrator Susan Ericksen gives another outstanding performance of voices.

Love all the Death series

Susan Erickson is the best to listen to. She knows this series! Can't wait to listen to the next one.

another great book!!!

First time I have ever stuck to series with this many books. The narrator is good at telling stories with the fluctuations of her voice. she can paint a realistic picture. J.D. Robb is the whole package writter. just a bit of everything

Eve Dallas Never Disappoints

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

Yes. Eve Dallas is my personal favorite character followed closely by Rourke, Peabody, and the whole cast of regulars in the "In Death" series. But I recommend that you follow the series in order to get the most out of the subplots and the character development throughout the series. I absolutely believe each of the characters.

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

I wouldn't say "edge of my seat", but it did keep my interest and my attention. This plot wasn't quite as complex or confusing as some, but it's always interesting to see how Eve gets to the final arrest, even when the guilty party is evident early in the book. But the subplots are just as interesting as the primary plot.

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

Always Eve, but Peabody and Rourke are close seconds.

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

Not this one, no. J.D. Robb presents realistic emotions in her characters, but I find that I don't get as involved as with some other books. However it's extremely interesting to me to follow her reasoning and her character development. The emotions that the characters experience always are based on solid detail within the story. It always makes sense.

Any additional comments?

As always,waiting anxiously for the next in my favorite series.
