Publisher's summary

#1 New York Times bestselling author J. D. Robb presents the fifth thrilling novel in her futuristic In Death series—where even in an age of cutting-edge technology, old beliefs die hard.

Conducting a top secret investigation into the death of a fellow police officer has Lieutenant Eve Dallas treading on dangerous ground. She must put professional ethics before personal loyalties. But when a dead body is placed outside her home, Eve takes the warning personally. With her husband, Roarke, watching her every move, Eve is drawn into the most dangerous case of her career. Every step she takes makes her question her own beliefs of right and wrong—and brings her closer to a confrontation with humanity's most seductive form of evil...

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

My favorite one yet!

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

I do constantly! I recommend this series to most of my friends. We all like the cop shows on TV and this series reminds me of Law and Order or something.

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

YES. I love the incorporation of Wicca. Very good plot in this one.

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

II love them all! I cant pick just one favorite, but her narration of the men, Rourke particularly, is very impressive. I plan on getting all of the books!

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

Yes! I listen to them at work so it makes me excited to go back to work the next morning to see what happens!

Eve tackles Satanists

Ceremony in Death by J. D. Robb is the fifth book in the In Death series. This time around, Eve must solve a murder that appears to involve Wiccans and Satanists. (That it was first published in 1997 explains the interest in Satanism - according to the news in the 90s, Satanists were attempting to take over the country.) As always, Eve is every bit the ass kicker we know her to be, Roarke the safety net she never knew she needed, and the other characters the support system she doesn't realize she has. As always, I tore through the story, had a few good laughs at Eve's expense, and enjoyed myself immensely trying and failing to solve the mystery before Eve.
