Length: 3 hrs

Publisher's summary

Number 12 is an urban legend in 2060 New York City. The hot club in the 1960s, it is now reported to be haunted...and cursed. Lieutenant Eve Dallas is called there to investigate the apparent murder of Radcliff Hopkins, its new owner and the grandson of the man who made Number 12 a cultural icon. Several bullets from a banned gun end his dream of returning the building to its former glory.

With everyone around her talking about the supernatural, pragmatic Eve won't let rumors of ghosts distract her from hard evidence. The case becomes even more bizarre when it appears to be linked to the suspicious disappearance of a rock star eighty-five years ago. As Eve searches for the connection, logic clashes with the unexplainable. She may be forced to face the threat of something more dangerous than a flesh-and-blood killer.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

An Eerie Mystery

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

I enjoy stories of this kind...where there is a question of the paranormal and is experienced by someone cynical.

What did you like best about this story?

Eve's cynicism. Peabody's fascination. Roarke's interest.

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

I enjoy her performance with these characters.

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

When the killer is interrogated by Eve near the end.

Any additional comments?

No.

Haunted in Death

Eve and her very practical analysis comes up hard against a ghost. Roarke, Feeney, Peabody and a host more are sold on the fact a ghost haunts number 12. I love these novellas.

Ghost buster

Novella number four in the In Death series. Eve must deal with the so called ghost of a long dead singer when the body of the grandson of the man who supposedly killed her is found in the old club Number Twelve. Also discovered is the long dead singer, Bobby Bray's remains, walled up in the old club. Peabody is spouting "hebbie, geebies", the supernatural and ghost while Eve clings to logic. But it does appear that something supernatural may be going on. Will Eve's logic rule the day?

Quick and Fun!

This a quick and Fun listen. Keep in mind this is book 22.5 in a series of 55 full length novels in the series, so you won't see a lot of character development and such in this Novella as the character development has taken place leading up to this story and continues long after. This is best for those familiar with the series as a whole, or for someone who has started the series and listened to these books in order. Personally, because I am familiar with the characters, I find this story fun and the bit of flair for the dramatic is exactly why.

Haunted in Death

Another great book by JD Robb! I absolutely love the Eve Dallas series 💕 If you haven’t read it, you need to start now!

Whole new twist

All I can say is this storyline was weird. Unlike other J D Robb books I have read.

Good

Was a good book but not like the other In Death books. Just didn't seem like the same banter and love that Roarke and Dallas have.
