Rapture in Death

In Death, Book 4

By: J. D. Robb

Narrated by: Susan Ericksen

Length: 10 hrs and 7 mins

Publisher's summary

They died with smiles on their faces. Three apparent suicides: a brilliant engineer, an infamous lawyer, and a controversial politician. Three strangers with nothing in common - and no obvious reasons for killing themselves. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas found the deaths suspicious. And her instincts paid off when autopsies revealed small burns on the brains of the victims. Was it a genetic abnormality or a high-tech method of murder?

Eve's investigation turned to the provocative world of virtual reality games - where the same techniques used to create joy and desire could also prompt the mind to become the weapon of its own destruction.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

Good, but not best

Would you listen to Rapture in Death again? Why?

Yes, I've enjoyed the series so far.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I guessed the method and murderer early on so that was a let down.

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

Yes, and it's as good as the rest. Excellent reading and characterizations.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

A little disappointed. FIrst time I guessed the method/murderer early on and the ending was a tad abrupt.

Any additional comments?

I still enjoy this series and look forward to reading more.

Great Listen... Good Story!

Riviting

loved it
kept my intrest ,enjoyed story plot,, ju a t nev r long enough

A gripping futuristic murder mystery, with romance

I love the imagination of this author. I'm will read the next book. Powerful Roarke, unrelenting Eve and the quirky side kicks. I admit I figured out 'who done it' but it took me most if the book to do it. Read it, you will enjoy it.

Narrator Removes All Interest in Characters

I much prefer the original narrator, Cristine McMurdo-Wallis who created a cast of personalities in a rare and extraordinary way. She excelled at performing all of the characters in the In Death books and gave each of them a distinct, vivid voice. I can't seem to even tolerate listening to this narrator whose montonic dash through the book has made me lose interest in my favorite series of books. Too bad care wasnt taken to ensure continuity for fans in delivering an exceptional performance. This narrator has managed to take characters I love and make me care less about them.

Exciting Virtual Reality Book 4 of Books 43

I read in 2006 and listened to audible version narrated by Susan Ericksen in 2016. Wonderful narrator.

Who knew that brainwaves could be copied and then have special virtual reality games directed specifically to that individual? It may be a fantasy but it is too close to being possible to not worry about picking up some game toy and worrying about its impact on your brain. This is what Eve Dallas is worrying about. Why did a perfectly happy young man hang himself with a smile on his face? And why did she and Roark totally lose control and mate like minks in the car? Too much to understand but it takes the whole book too get to the bottom of the problem. Is it murder or just mind control? Is there a difference? Another fast and exciting Eve and Roark story. Book 4 of 43.

Technology

I enjoyed this book. It dealt with tech and I liked learning a little more about Roarke's business side.
