Not only is she lead detective, she's also a witness - and when the press discovers that her husband owns the theater, there's more media spotlight than either can handle. The only way out is to move fast. Question everyone and everything...and in the meantime, try to tell the difference between the truth - and really good acting.

Another Great Listen

as usual narrator Erickson delivers excellent performance. Not one of my favorite JD Robb in Death books but her writing is unparalleled

Witness in Death

I’ve read this series multiple time and am on my second listen of the series. Even knowing the series, these early books are still heartbreaking. Terrific job again by the narrator!

Great futuristic murder mystery

The Lt. Dallas murder mysteries are unique in that they are set in the future and it is fun to read about a world dominated by droids and technology and modern conveniences. But murder is murder and even with the new tools, detectives have to work hard and sometimes using tried and true methods to solve cases. I have enjoyed the first 10 in the "In Death" series but this one wasn't quite as good. There is a play within a play that ends in murder and it is interesting that Lt. Dallas witnesses the actual murder on stage but it is not cut and dried. I always enjoy the recurring police characters and the narration in the Audible version is very good at presenting the different voices. The reason I could not give this one 5 stars is that there are many characters/suspects in the theater company and staff and it gets a bit confusing. And delving into all the suspects backgrounds and motives drags a little. It is still worth reading and I cannot wait to start the next book in the series. Dalla's rich husband Roarke is to die for - he is such a supportive, creative man but edgy as well.

It’s a JD Robb thanks Nora

Dallas and her team are always welcome. Am waiting for the next one(s). Read or Listen.

Love J.D Robb stories

After listening to these stories I would really love to see them on the screens

Good, but not the best.

This plot reminded me of a "Murder She Wrote" mystery. It seemed rather more simple and predictable. The story was well written and the process of uncovering the culprit was good, but just not the best of the lot.

Once again, the narrator was excellent!

Yes, I'd recommend it to those reading the series in order.. it continues the saga of the characters.

This was fun and different kind of pace.

What made the experience of listening to Witness in Death the most enjoyable?

I enjoyed seeing Eve showing a little different kind of emotion and her relationship with all the other characters. I enjoyed how the story unfolded with so many suspects.

What did you like best about this story?

As usual I enjoyed the ending being revealed only at the near end. I also like the relationship between Eve and Roarke.

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

Susan Ericksen brings life to the characters and when I read the book, I can put her voice in my mind as read after listening to the audios for so many other books. I think she has each character distinguished to a perfect match.

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

Yes, I almost finished this one in a couple of days and couldn't wait to start the next book.

Any additional comments?

I am trying to go back and strat from the first book and read in order, but to keep the audio and reading going I often have to skip around, but I won't stop until the all have been read, then I might start again...I hope the Death series keep coming out.

Best so Far

This is the best book in this series so far. Things are really coming together and relationships maturing.

Foul Language

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I love the In Death series. But, I do have one complaint with all of them (so far). I really hate the fact that Eve feels she has to use God's name in vain REPEATEDLY. I really find this word disturbing and wish there was some way it could be removed or beeped out. I believe the story would be just as well written and read without this one foul word used repeatedly.
