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.

Very good

I really don't know if I came write a fair review as I am SOLD on the whole J.D. Robb series. The people in them are so real with a different personality for each it feels like I know them. Some of these books I've listened to 5 or 6 times and I still get a chuckle out of the little side bars. Susan Ericksen also gets my vote. I look for books she reads and have often purchased them because she the reader. The two together is a winning combo. Hope there are more on the way.

Just Can't Beat Eve Dallas!

This series never fails to enthrall me! I love the interactions of the characters and the narrator is perfect. If you're looking for mystery, crime drama and just a touch of romance, this series is for you.

Lots of resolution

I like that there was lots of character resolution in this book. It was great to tie up some series loose ends. However I want lots of these characters for a long time to come.

B.O.L.O (Be On The LookOut)

Would you consider the audio edition of New York to Dallas to be better than the print version?

I simply LOVE the performer. She brings every nuance of each character to life and her voices will forever be the characters for me.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Dallas figured out where McQueen was living and made him bolt like a scared rabbit.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

New York To Dallas is perfect

WOW!!!! JD Robb but a different twist on this one!

I love all the Eve series books this one was another hit. But I must say it got very sad..Eve's childhood comes out alot in this book and if you are a reader of her books you know how bad that was...Anyway I love te twist in this one!

love the In death series!

J.D. Robb\ Nora Roberts...... one my fave authors! been reading these books for a few years now. Feel like I know the Lieutenant personally!😍😍😍😍

Too long

The "In Death" series has been one of my favorites by Nora Roberts, but this one repeated the plot premise over and over again - and almost pounded it to death. I am aware, as are most people, of the devastating consequences of sexual abuse of young children and teens.
This novel repeated that lesson ad infinitum from the perspective of the protagonist and most of the other characters in the novel.
This lesson is one that the public needs to know. I suggest Ms. Roberts use other venues to emphasize her point.

A great listen

I really enjoy the reader and the story was just as great. Just when you thought it was over it wasn't and it kept going with twist and turns. If you're a fan of the Eve Dallas series you will enjoy this one.

One of her best!

Would you listen to New York to Dallas again? Why?

I have read every one of this series. This is one of the best of the

Any additional comments?

If you are a fan of the 'in death

Second Time is a Charm!

If you could sum up New York to Dallas in three words, what would they be?

Don't Underestimate Dallas

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I couldn't stop listening. Between the suspense, heart-wrenching drama, and side-splitting banter, I couldn't wait to find out what was next.

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

Erickson can bring the characters to life with her vocalizations and accents. I really don't think I would appreciate the characters as much if I would have read the book.

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

Any of the scenes with the abducted girls and their treatment really ripped my heart out.
