Publisher's summary

Audie Award, Romance, 2012
RITA Award Winner, Best Romantic Suspense, 2012

It was one of Eve Dallas’s earliest takedowns, back in her uniform days. A monster named Isaac McQueen had been abducting young victims and leaving them scarred in both mind and body. Thanks to Eve, he wound up where he belonged, removed from civilized society in Rikers. But he’s not behind bars anymore.

After his escape, McQueen has two things in mind. One is to take up where he left off, preying on the young and innocent - when necessary, with the help of a female partner all too willing to be manipulated and to aid and abet his crimes. His other goal: to get revenge on the woman who stopped him all those years ago, now a high-profile lieutenant in the NYPSD and married to one of the city’s richest men.

Commanding Eve’s attention with a chilling and brazen crime, McQueen sets off the chase - forcing Eve down a road marked with blood and tears, a road that eventually leads southwest to Dallas, Texas, the home Eve fled long ago. And each new twist brings her closer to the harrowing memory of when she wasn’t a hardened detective but a vulnerable girl just like McQueen’s innocent prey. As her husband, Roarke, tries to rescue her from the nightmares that claw at her mind, and her partner, Peabody, doggedly works to support her, Eve must confront - and call upon - the darkest parts of her own soul in order to survive.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

NY to Dallas

One of the things I love most about the in Death series, is how the characters, especially Eve, have evolved over time. The author manages to keep Eve's toughness, while allowing her to show her softer, loving side, and also keep the raw terror of her childhood memories. It is brilliant, and the narrator is perfect. She is Eve, as well as all the other characters. I especially love her portrayal of Peabody. I definitely recommend New York to Dallas.

Another WInner!

I have every "In Death" book in audio and I love every one of them. Always a great listen. There can't be enough said for Susan Ericksen's performance. Her voice range for various characters is nothing short of amazing. Even her sultry voice of Roarke makes you want to swoon. Eve Dallas and Susan Ericksen make for a very commanding team!

How does she do it?

Where does New York to Dallas rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's another of the best in the Eve Dallas series, if I could say it was page turning I would but instead I will say that I couldn't turn it off. The stories are all good but this is one of the best.

What did you like best about this story?

It had intrigue, horror, suspense and got to answer some of the questions we have had about Eve (the main chararcter). Simply stunning story

What about Susan Ericksen’s performance did you like?

She is now and will always be Eve Dallas....I couldn't after so many books think of her as anyone else. She captures in my mind the true essence of the characters in the series and has made them her own so that they come alive in our imaginations as we listen. Brilliant.!

Any additional comments?

I am always amazed at how J D Robb can write such horror and suspense and then blend such stories together such as the bride series (as Nora Roberts) which are so joyous and loving - what a talent!!

Worth the Wait

I think it rare for a series to survive with such an eager audience after more than 30 books, but Robb delivers every time! There is much life yet in this Dallas-Roarke storyline.

I finished it in a day, and eagerly await the next installment.

I Can't Get Enough of the series!!!!

I loved this book!! The relationship with Eve and Roarke is my favorite literary relationship and this book highlighted why I care about this couple. Watching them deal with such an emotional case and how to care for one another was exceptional! Of course Eve's kick-ass style was also well represented, no matter what she has been through, she still manages to pick herself up and take care of business - LOVE HER!!

Great Book!

I think this was one of my favorites! It has a fast-flowing story line, with the usual cast of characters only playing a minor part. Eve???s realization and the way Roarke handles her, is as always touching. Their bond seems to grow stronger with each book. As usual Susan Ericksen did an exceptional job of narrating!

One of her best yet!

I was beginning to tire of some of the storylines in the last few books. This book returned to the passion of the first few books yet added tremendous suspense and a surprising storyline!

One of the best"In Death" books

I'm not a huge fan of Nora Roberts but, surprisingly enough, I do enjoy the "In Death" series. Hard hitting Eve Dallas appeals to me as a character and I enjoy the degree that Roberts alter ego Robb writes the combo Mystery/cop procedural/romance books.

I've read most of the books but never listened to an audio version-I'd sort of lost interest after 30 books.

This was surely the book to begin listening to the series...it's freaking exciting, well written and plot heavy. I really enjoyed it and wasted a whole day on it.

Guess I better download the rest of the books I haven't read.....have to catch up with the series!

Didn't stink, but...

Would you try another book from J. D. Robb and/or Susan Ericksen?

Most certainly. I've listened to every book in the series and I'm not stopping now. I just didn't like this particular story. As we all know, these books are very formulaic; it's the characters and the ingenious crimes and villains that have us coming back. This go-around just didn't grab me.

What could J. D. Robb have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Perhaps it's just a personal thing, but I truly don't care for some of the more disturbing plot lines and I found this one falling into that category. And while hard-core fans may find it blasphemous, I'm getting a little tired of the repetitive nature of Eve's childhood nightmares. I was relieved when those scenes faded into the background. Not because they weren't well-written, but because we've been there. A lot. (Yeah, yeah, yeah. Flashing red light. Snapping bone. Cheese knife. We got it.) True, this book did reveal a long-standing mystery but for me, the reward of that knowledge wasn't worth trudging through the nightmare scenes and the less-than-great villain's escapades. For the first time ever, I actually hit the FF button.

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

Why does there have to be a favorite? Choosing just one character as performed by Susan Ericksen is like trying to pick your favorite chocolate or ice cream. I won't do it. You can't make me. That being said, I absolutely love the nerd-ness of Peabody. Her comic relief and sappy nature are perfect counterpoints to Eve and the way Susan characterizes her is priceless. I also have to say that I think Dr. Mira's voice is exceptionally sexy. There. I said it. I meant it and I'd say it again. She rocks.

Do you think New York to Dallas needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Okay, now this question shouldn't even be applied to a long-standing series. Of course it needs a follow-up. Isn't that the whole idea here? We can't wait to find out what crazy, mad-cap adventures those wacky folks at the NYPSD will have next. Bring it on! Hopefully the next one will be more fun.

Any additional comments?

Not so much.
