Publisher's summary

Eve Dallas is the tough lieutenant hot on his trail, but this is unlike any case she’s ever been assigned - or any killer she’s ever pursued. A police sketch based on eye-witness testimony reveals the killer has green skin, swollen red eyes, goblin ears, and a dislocated jaw-structure that defies the human form. Is it a mask? Is it make-up? Or is the explanation more sinister? Dallas faces off against multiple suspects - all of them students of medicine capable of precisely slicing the ears, noses, and eyes of the three victims. But who had the motive? More importantly, what kind of rogue science are these healers practicing?

not bad, not best

Not as bad as the other reviewers thought. Most of her short stories are not as good as her full length books, but this one filled in some story lines from past books. There was plenty of Rourk action and not just steamy scenes.

Great story

Great listening experience. Eve Dallas is a fun character. Her sidekick, Peabody, is amusing and always ready to help solve the mystery

A Blast from the past

It’s a real good book. It’s a book that you can relate to in life. It’s a real Jekyll and Hyde.

I really enjoyed this short novel. While it kept the feel of the series, it was a fun story.

Great!!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Chaos in Death to be better than the print version?

Yes I would say it is better because you get someone to read it to you live and they give you all the emotions of the characters.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character is Peobody. She is very confident in herself and knows her job well.

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

Charisma

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

None in particular. I love the series

Love J.D. Robb disappointed in this Audible novel

Would you consider the audio edition of Chaos in Death to be better than the print version?

I love reading J.D. Robb....I have all of the paperback novels however I have never been so disappointed with an audio edition as I was with this novel.I have always had a clear vision of what the characters would sound like and the narrator had all the characters soooo wrong...Roark is suppose to have a hint of Irish in his voice and Ms. Erickson had him sounding like he just got off the docks.Det Peabody is suppose to be a person that is sympathetic and comes from a Free Age family and sounded more like a Rottweiler

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Since I had already read all the J.D. Robb novels I had a sense off what the characters would sound like and most characters were not bad but the ones that were bad were really bad.I would think twice about purchasing an audible novel read by this narrator.

Unable to comment

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Unable to complete this survey - we attempted to listen to this book from my Kindle and were unable to raise the volume high enough to hear it while driving in our car. We were most disappointed.

Any additional comments?

Wish the Kindle could be turned up so we could hear the book we bought for our trip.
