Delusion In Death

In Death, Book 35

By: J. D. Robb

Narrated by: Susan Ericksen

Length: 13 hrs and 8 mins

Publisher's summary

It was just another after-work happy-hour bar downtown, where business professionals unwound with a few drinks, complained about the boss, maybe hooked up with someone for the night. Until something went terribly wrong. At first it was just a friction in the air. The noise intensified. The crowd seemed oppressive. Some sharp words were exchanged, some pushing and shoving.

Then the madness descended. And after 12 minutes of chaos and violence, 80 people lay dead.

Eve Dallas is trying to sort out the inexplicable events. Surviving witnesses talk about seeing things - monsters and swarms of bees. They describe sudden, overwhelming feelings of fear and rage and paranoia. When forensics makes its report, the mass delusions make more sense: it appears the bar patrons were exposed to a cocktail of chemicals and illegal drugs that could drive people into temporary insanity - if not kill them outright.

But that doesn’t explain who would unleash such horror - or why. Eve’s husband, Roarke, happens to own the bar, yet he’s convinced the attack wasn’t directed at him. It’s bigger than that. And if Eve can’t figure it out fast, it could happen again, anytime, anywhere. Because it’s airborne....

Another Entertaining Story by JD Robb

Any additional comments?

Since I've listened to all of these books, its a given I enjoy them. There wasn't much new as far as characters and the plot was familiar. I'd love it if the author would add new and different twists to this series.

Good read!

what next and how long will it take to finish it.

Another excellent book by J.D.Robb!

Where does Delusion In Death rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I've listened to many of the J.D.Robb audiobooks and have liked all of them, so it's rather difficult to place it in a slot - all of these books are excellent. When you hear one, it's hard not to keep getting them!

What other book might you compare Delusion In Death to and why?

Along with J.D.Robb, I listen to Grisham and other mystery-detective-type audiobooks.

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

I've listened to many of Susan Ericksen's performances with the J.D.Robb books, and they are all quite good.

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

Would have been nice, but not very practical.

Any additional comments?

I listen to audiobooks when I'm on the road, because they keep me alert, and I'm able to pay attention to the traffic while I'm listening. I don't listen to self-help or learning audiobooks when I travel; just fiction. The J.D.Robb series is excellent for traveling.

Did not disappoint!

What made the experience of listening to Delusion In Death the most enjoyable?

As always Susan Ericksen delivers with distinctive voices that I've come to look forward to. Even if I decide to pick up one of the older books and read it for fun, I still hear the same character voices in my head.Watching Eve and Roarke grow in their marriage and Peabody grow as a detective, but still with her own style and free-ager fiber is delightful and adds to the plot just as much as the murder, mayhem and investigating.

Hooked on a he in death series

Enjoyed listening to this series while working in the house. Keeps me engaged while house work at times is monotonous.

sissymom

typical ruff & tuff Dallas story. I enjoy listening but find I need breaks in between.

Performance slipped in this book

Story was great. The usually superb Susan Erickson was not as crisp and clear in this performance. Several times throughout I could not discern which character was speaking as they began to sound alike. That disrupts my enjoyment as I have to take a second to figure out which character is saying/doing what.
