Publisher's summary

In a time when technology can reveal the darkest of secrets, there's only one place to hide a crime of passion - in the heart.

The first victim was found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The second was murdered in her own apartment building. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas had no problem finding connections between the two crimes. Both victims were beautiful and highly successful women. Their glamorous lives and loves were the talk of the city. And their intimate relations with men of great power and wealth provided Eve with a long list of suspects - including her own lover, Roarke.

As a woman, Eve was compelled to trust the man who shared her bed. But as a cop, it was her job to follow every lead...to investigate every scandalous rumor...to explore every secret passion, no matter how dark. Or how dangerous.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

RECOMMEND FOR LOVERS OF INTRIGUE, ROMANCE AND CRIME SOLVING

Suspenseful, Romantic, & Well Narrated

I have a lot of these books to download now and I am looking forward to downloading them all. The first one I didn't like so much and I suppose it was because I had to get acclamated to the character,Eve, the policewoman. In the first book she was so "hard" and emotionally inaccessible, cold and hard. I couldn't understand how any man especially a rich, fine, one could love someone like this character. Now as I listened to book 2, her character begins to become tender, open even loving to her mate. This is because her character with experience and understanding from her georgeous boyfriend has grown.

And again Susan Ericksen is one of the best narrators I've listened to. She is superb!

More enjoyable characters

Science fiction police procedural mature
Another serial killer hunt for LT Eve Dallas and Captain Feeney to catch and deliver to the court. The novel opens with the brutal murder of the top city prosecutor. Cicely Towers, Because the initial victim is a public servant, emotions run high, especially as Towers is well known to Eve's boss, Commander Whitney. The villain uses his skills to tap into police communications and to confuse Eve's progress with critical press releases. Compounding the issue is the family secrets and lies Eve encounters, straining relationships with her boss and with Roarke's business partners.
Well into the story, an important supporting character, Officer Peabody, makes her debut. Another recurring character is Chief Tibble, who replaces the corrupt Chief Simpson as head of NYPSD (New York Police & Security Department). Nadine Furst, briefly introduced in the first novel, has a more critical role in this story, and she is shown to be ambitious reporter who is also caring and ethical. In the previous story, Eve was badly beaten by one of the killers before getting the upper hand. In this story, both Eve and Roarke end up fighting for their lives after rescuing Nadine, with both the worse for wear. .
Susan Ericksen narrates and does a fine job. Her version of Mavis Freestone speaking something similar to a Valley girl is startling, but is acceptable.
The big impediment to acquiring the series is that big publishing houses charge higher than normal prices for both the ebooks and audiobooks. If you have the budget, a fine series to add to your library.

Dallas and Roark

These characters come to life!!

Listening to the "In Death" series makes me want to hear more about these characters and their lives, their loves and their ambitions!

Another hit!

I have to say this series is turning out to be GREAT!! I think I am becoming a JD Robb fan!

Builds on Excellent Book One

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

I'm hooked on this series and strongly recommend it. I read this in hardcopy, but am still thoroughly enjoying the audio version

What other book might you compare Glory in Death to and why?

This is part of a series, so read Book One first. All of the series (almost 40 books) are similar to one another, but still unique.

Have you listened to any of Susan Ericksen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I like the reader, but found myself a little taken aback at first. This could be because I'd previously read the books in hardcopy, so already had my own concepts of the voices. After a chapter or so, however, I got used to her interpretation and enjoyed it.

Any additional comments?

The first three books in the series are crucial to setting up the Eve-Roarke relationship that is the backdrop of the mysteries. Read these first. I prefer the series in order, but after the first three, you can skip around without an issue.

Book 2 another winner

Well I'm on a listening binge. Can't get enough of these books. The murder investigations are great, but the relationship of Eve and Rourk really keeps me entertained.

Great

Have enjoyed reading the death series. Can’t wait for book 57 — Payback Perhaps Dallas will become Captain one day
