In Death, Book 45

By: J. D. Robb

Narrated by: Susan Ericksen

Length: 13 hrs and 2 mins

Publisher's summary

A new novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series: Lt. Eve Dallas must separate rumors from reality when a woman who traffics in other people's secrets is silenced.

The chic Manhattan nightspot Du Vin is not the kind of place Eve Dallas would usually patronize, and it's not the kind of bar where a lot of blood gets spilled. But that's exactly what happens one cold February evening.

The mortally wounded woman is Larinda Mars, a self-described "social information reporter," or as most people would call it, a professional gossip. As it turns out, she was keeping the most shocking stories quiet, for profitable use in her side business as a blackmailer. Setting her sights on rich, prominent marks, she'd find out what they most wanted to keep hidden and then bleed them dry. Now someone's done the same to her, literally - with a knife to the brachial artery.

Eve didn't like Larinda Mars. But she likes murder even less. To find justice for this victim, she'll have to plunge into the dirty little secrets of all the people Larinda Mars victimized herself. But along the way, she may be exposed to some information she really didn't want to know...

Seems different

I've missed my favorite characters and narrator but something seems different. This book, like her last few seem rushed. We aren't getting as much interaction with other characters like we use too. There isn't as much of a build up to the bad guy, the discovery and interrogations don't seem as heart felt as they use too. I'm beginning to think our author is tiring of these characters.

Always a favorite

I always love these books. Not a bad one in the lot and Susan Erickson does a fine job on the narration. Had me guessing who the bad guy was up to the end.

Good Addition to This Series

Good story overall with excellent narration as usual. I guessed the murderer's identity early, although the "how done it" was a mystery until _________. Sorry, shouldn't reveal spoilers. I subtracted a star because the ending was rushed and IMO unsatisfactory as a result.

In the J D Robb tradition

This book is excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Eve and Roark continue to be a great couple and the characters continue to engage.

Another winner from my favorite author

Loved this new book. Kept me in suspense all the way through. I was disappointed in the ending until I realized I had slept thru the actual end. Love audio books but have to listen several times cuz I miss so much snoozing.
Love Susan's narration - Don't know how you do it. You are very adept!

Love 💘💘

JD and Susan Erickson...great writer and can Sue tell the story! great team and love the books.

Best series in audible books

I have listened to all of these books and each new one is like visiting old friends. The story line is interesting and challenging. You have to try these books.

love, love them!

great read,plot sub plots. They all come together in the best way. can't wait for the next book.

One of my favorites

This is one of my favorite books in the series. The crime is different and the investigation interesting. However the best part is the way the crime and resulting investigation reveal more character depth on Eve and Roarke and those in their circle. So well done! And of course, Erickson’s performance, as always, is superb.
