Publisher's summary

He is an expert with the latest technology...a madman with the mind of a genius and the heart of a killer. He quietly stalks his prey. Then he haunts the police with cryptic riddles about the crimes he is about to commit - always solved moments too late to save the victims' lives.

Police lieutenant Eve Dallas found the first victim butchered in his own home. The second lost his life in a vacant luxury apartment. The two men had little in common. Both suffered unspeakable torture before their deaths. And both had ties to an ugly secret of 10 years past - a secret shared by none other than Eve's new husband, Roarke.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Vengeance in death

Wonderful book I liked that we got a glimpse into Routines childhood and simmer sets life. I liked that there is a shift in the relationship between Somerset and Eve.

Another good one

STORY (Suspense) I'm writing this review as if the reader is already familiar with this series. (If you're not familiar with it, you should be.) This story delivers, as they all do. In this one Eve is trying to find a gruesome serial killer while at the same time trying to protect Roarke's life and keep Summerset from being charged with the murders. Throughout the investigation, you will get nice glimpses into Roarke's past. I probably should have seen the ending coming, but I didn't.

PERFORMANCE - I love Susan Ericksen. She does so many different voices and accents for the characters that it makes listening an absolute pleasure.

OVERALL - I would recommend this equally for male and female listeners who enjoy a good cop suspense story. Just may not be for people with sensitive ears, as there is adult content and quite a bit of cussing. Highly recommended.

Excellent story the whole way through...

With over 100 plus audible books in my library, I must say after becoming hooked to the “In Death Series” this is by far my favorite book! Great narration and twists and turns throughout the book. I am BIG on endings whether books or movies and this one wasn’t bad. It was nice to get a glimpse of Roarkes and Sunmersets past and witness Eve being Eve. Would recommend you purchase this one for sure!

The past catches up eventually.

Nice. We got a look into Rourke’s and Sommerset’s past. The past eventually caught up. I wasn’t expecting the killer, and that made it even better.

Roarke's and Somerset's Pasts Catch Up to Them

Many aspects of the joint history of Roarke and Somerset are clarified and explained in this entry in the series. We meet Ian McNab for the first time, and Susan Ericksen treats us to Eve Dallas under the influence of a serious painkiller. It's a serious story, with a vengeful, brutal and bloody killer. Well done!

Is the series possibly too long?

I don't know if I have possibly "read" too much of this series and I possibly need a break, but I just couldn't enjoy this one as I have the others.

Not to say this is a bad book, same story line, Roarke always implicated, always a friend involved now it's Summerset, surely no one world can have 1 person so involved in all aspects of everything?

I couldn't give it a bad rating because as the series goes, this is the same just different deaths, victims and suspects.

Something needs to change, something needs to happen. I think as a stand alone it would be great but I might have to give this a break for some time.

As much as I want to know how this relationship gets properly onto track, I just can't see myself doing 26/27 of these books, it would drive me nuts.
