Promises in Death

In Death, Book 28

De: J. D. Robb

Narrado por: Susan Ericksen

Amaryllis Coltraine may have recently transferred to the New York City police force from Atlanta, but she's been a cop long enough to know how to defend herself against an assailant. When she's taken down just steps away from her apartment, killed with her own weapon, for Eve the victim isn't just "one of us."

Dallas's friend, Chief Medical Examiner Morris, had started a serious relationship with Coltraine, and from all accounts the two were headed for a happy future together. But someone has put an end to all that. After breaking the news to Morris, Eve starts questioning everyone, including Coltraine's squad, informants, and neighbors, while Eve's husband, Roarke, digs into computer data on the dead woman's life back in Atlanta. To their shock, they discover a connection between this case and their own painful, shadowy pasts.

The truth will need to be uncovered one layer at a time, starting with the box that arrives at Cop Central addressed to Eve, containing Coltraine's guns, badge, and a note from her killer: "You can have them back. Maybe someday soon, I'll be sending yours to somebody else." But Eve Dallas doesn't take too kindly to personal threats, and she is going to break this case, whatever it takes. And that's a promise.

What did you love best about Promises in Death?

I like when Eve has her dreams with the dead. It is always a harder book to read when it is one of the team members loved ones.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Promises in Death?

Eve dreaming and talking to Amarylis.

What about Susan Ericksen’s performance did you like?

As always, spectacular.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I would love to hear these books all the way through but I like to pace myself, I like that I am starting with book one reading them in order. I like to savor them and can't wait for the next but I just will hate it when I have to wait for the next to come out.

I love her books

I love her books I just wish she could quit making Eve a heartless person. I wish Eve could love her fiends and not hate being with them and also I wish she could let Eve love Mavis' baby.

Always a Great Listen

The story is so well written and read with the many different voices, it is almost like you are there in person. That is one of the major reasons I keep coming back to this series. I enjoy the characters so much.

Another great book

When I saw that J.D. Robb had a new book coming out I could not wait. I saved a credit specifically to get this book. I am ashamed to say, I cannot get enough of the Death Series. I love all the characters and how their lives evolve. I am happy Nora is giving all the characters a chance to be the focus of the book. She still has quite a few left. I doubt I will ever get tired of this series. I wish she would come out with new ones sooner than she does. Please do not let anyone narrate these books except Susan. She does a fantastic job. Before I bought the book I made sure, she was the narrator. She is a much a part of the series as the characters in the books.

Accent

I have always enjoyed the In Death series. Truth be told I never read anything by Nora Roberts and was unaware that J. D. Robb was one of her pen names until I was hooked. This book is well written as usual and an excellent listen. That being said I have deeply enjoyed Susan Ericksen's wonderfully flexible narrating style. She has done an excellent job giving the different characters within the story a unique voice; until this book I have appreciated the fact that she has never over done Roark's accent. It seem as though she has been playing around with her interpretation of several different characters in the last few books. My thought is leave perfection alone.
