Publisher's summary

When a murder disrupts the Irish vacation she is taking with her husband, Roarke, Eve realizes that no place is safe - not an Irish wood or the streets of the manic city she calls home. But nothing prepares her for what she discovers upon her return to the cop shop in New York City....

A driver for a top-of-the-line limousine service is found dead - shot through the neck with a crossbow. The car was booked by an executive at a venerable security company whose identity had been stolen. Days later, a stunning, high-priced escort is found killed at Coney Island, a bayonet stuck in her heart. And again, the trail leads to a CEO whose information has been hijacked.

With a method established, but no motive to be found, Eve begins to fear that she has come across that most dangerous of criminals, a thrill killer, but one with a taste for the finer things in life - and death. Eve does not know where or when the next kill will be, or that her investigation will take her to the rarefied circle that Roarke travels in - and into the perverted heart of madness....

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

Addicting

What I don't like about this series is it is so addictive! This book was good except it started slow. It picked up about a quarter of the way through and turned out to be really good. But for the books that are not as good, I still want to listen because of the character development. Each book has its own story, but each one builds on the characters so now I have a vested interest. I highly recommend.

Indulgence in dealth

J D Robb has written yet another book that kept my attention. I started listening to audio books from the library. I enjoy the fact that the voices for the characters are the same and they fit the character perfectly. I would be disappintedif they changed. Thanks Sebrina

Susan Ericksen knows how to present

I love the setting of these books, each book familiar with characters and life, yet a different crime, but always a must read, er listen. Susan Ericksen makes these characters "pop" and jump out of the page and in your ear. Perfect partnership with Robb and Ericksen.

Eve Dallas Never Disappoints

I love this series and this one doesn't disappoint! I really enjoy the interaction between the characters. It combines mystery, humor and romance in just the right amounts to equal a satisfying tale. Susan Ericksen really makes the audiobook with her excellent voicing of each character. An excellent narrator! I recommend this whole series!

"A Slice of Cake, It's A Fine Idea"

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

I don't own all of this series, but I do own any that feature Roake &/or anything Irish. Ms Ericksen has the voice and enriches the author's Irish intent. The first 2 chapters will steal your heart and make you want to book tickets for Ireland.

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

Vengeance in death, will introduce you to Brian Kelly, a sweetheart, he is. e.g. "Lieutenant darling"

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

JD Robb, AKA Nora Roberts, is one of the few authors who has successfully written a wonderful sci fi/ romance/mystery series. Some books are better than others as there are over 40 now. But book #1, 2, Rapture, Vengeance and this one are my top faves.
As author introduces a new character in the first 10 books, they are hard to skip as author is so clever how she does it. From fat cat "so how are we going to be friends again?", Roake as he feeds the cat bacon, to Sean in this book getting cake. Author is that good.

Any additional comments?

Note: some of the stories are darker than others, but all have humor and foul language, so if you don't care for that writing style, beware. I have re listened to book #1 as least 3 times and I own over 150 yet to be listened to. So you know that book stays with you as pure entertainment of this series.

amazing I love how this series feels like family

The narrator dies a great job with inflection, accents and fluency... it's wonderful writing such a treat.

great books

I really enjoy listening to these books over and over while I drive or work overnights.

I love all of the J.D. Robb "In Death" books!

I absolutely love all of the "In Death" series. I love the reader's ability to adapt her voice to sound like all of the many characters in the books. I am a little sad that I only have 2 more books to listen to in the series before I am at the end (so far) of the (mis)adventures of Eve, Roarke, She-body, McNabb and company!

I love Nora Roberts, and I am amazed at how prolific a writer that she is! Keep up the great work, and I will continue to be a loyal listener, whichever nom-de-plume you use!

Great but Eve needs to grow up

Eve needs to grow up and stop acting like a child it irritating but everything else was great.

Another Robb Winner

Unlike some reviewers I don't rate current books on previous books written by an author. I feel the book being rated should stand on its own and I really enjoyed this one. If you read a lot which I do you will find similarities in story lines especially when following an author. That is why I stick to certain authors because I like the characteristics of the players in the stories. I feel I know them from previous stories and can anticipate somewhat their actions and when they are out of character I enjoy being surprised. When dealing with murder and mayhem how can you not have similar story lines that sound familiar?
