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.

The Narrator gave the Characters real personality!

I was two thirds through Immortal in Death as a hard copy when I saw this title in Audible.
In spite of having the difficulty of reading a title in the middle of a series, I was sufficiently hooked to order the Audible version of Book 4.
This turned out to be a real bonus largely due to Susan Ericksen's interpretation of the book's Characters.
The Irish brogue of Roarke & the very amusing accent chosen for Peabody, gave the book more appeal & made for easier listening.
Maybe if I had started at book 1, I may have had a better understanding but book 3 was given to me and I dutifully pitched in and read it!
I realise now that I had very little understanding of the characters or the era in which the books are set.
I would advise any potential readers/listeners to probably start at the beginning!!

my favorite

my favorite of all the in death books. Have both read it and listened to it multiple times, but it's more fun to listen because Susan Erickson is the best in the business.

book

great book enjoyed so much can't wait for next book. love these books books are great

Great

Can’t wait for the next episode of the series. The future is full of surprises.

Good but <br />

the story was a bit futuristic for me, more so than her earlier books in this series. Perhaps subliminal mind control at the level covered might be possible in the future but I prefer to think we as humans will have the final control of our mind and actions.
The voice of Peabody was awful and distracted my enjoyment of the book. I can only hope in future audible performances it will be modified, the narrator has demonstrated with other characters she has the ability

Death series

I love this series. thank you for the recommendation audible! It is funny, exciting, has plenty of twist and sexy. Well done.

5 Stars!

Another great book! I simply love the interaction with Mavis in this one, and simply love angry Roarke hahaha.

Good book in a good series

Another good In Death book. This is a good series with great characters. One strange thing to me is that I totally dislike the main character, Eve Dallas, but I love the series. Eve is obnoxious, self important, self absorbed, rude and generally disgusting to me, but the story and the other characters make up for her loser personality. Robb is an excellent story teller and writer of dialog. She also created realistic and likable characters, as well as ones that are difficult if not impossible to like. I highly recommend this series, but strongly suggest that you begin with Book 1 and go forward because the story and characters build from one book to the next.

Always a winner, never a disappointment.

You can never go wrong with a combination of Roberts/Robb and S. Erickson on any book. The detail imagination brought together with the narrative talent are a WIN WIN to this or any of Nora Robert's books.

Then you have the most memorable and interesting experiences given to each character and story line, that keeps you finding ways to continue listening to what is about to play out.

The fantastic story continues.....

Once again Ms Robb is excellent in her writings. The narrator is one of the better one I have listened to.
