Publisher Description
Lieutenant Eve Dallas struggles with the end—and the beginning—of life in this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series.
Just as Eve Dallas begins to investigate the grisly double homicide of two young lovers—both employees of the same prestigious accounting firm—her friend Mavis need a favor. One of the moms-to-be in Mavis’s birthing class has gone missing. Normally, such a case would be turned over to Missing Persons. But Mavis wants no one else on the job—and Eve can’t say no.
Now Eve’s trying to track down the missing woman, while simultaneously unearthing the deals and double-crosses hidden in the files of some of the city’s richest and most secretive citizens, in a race against this particularly vicious killer. Luckily, her multimillionaire husband Roarke’s expertise comes in handy with the number crunching. But as he mines the crucial data that will break the case wide open, Eve faces an all too real danger in the world of flesh and blood.

"Very good! I love crime novels and Nora Roberts writing. So I knew I was going to like this book. Unfortunately, I'm not reading the books in order so I think I'm missing the big picture with the character relationships. Going to go back to the beginning and start."

Born in Death Listener Reviews
-
" I liked this one. The bad guys were kinda creepy, but with the baby and everything else, the murder was a smaller part of the plot. This one was more about Eve and her relationships with friends and family. "

" Adequate as usual for a weekend read. Nothing earth shattering but enjoyable. "
— Meredith, 2/14/2014 -
" The one in which Eve hosts a baby shower for Mavis! Hijinks ensue. Eve is solving a murder - and a missing person case, as a favour to Mavis - and the book doesn't neglect those - but it also spends a lot of time on the personal relationships which I love. "

" I thought the book was pretty good. First time with "the death" series by Nora Roberts. I am just starting to read her romance and death books. I will give them four stars. "
— Rosario, 1/29/2014 -
" This series is fun, forgetable fluff. I listen to these on audio a lot and the narrator is really good. They are all very similar, and I forget which I've already read. "
— Shannon, 1/22/2014 -
" This was one of the better ones of late. And, with a happy ending to boot! :) "

" mavis baby shower "
— Kinnu, 11/24/2013 -
" These books are quick, easy reads, and incrdibly entertaining. It's easy to forgive the coincidences because of that. This one was a little MORE coincidental, but the relationships and Dallas's style were still there, so... "
— Kandice, 11/21/2013 -
" 3.0 out of 5 stars -- You know what you get when you read one of these in the Eve Dallas series. This was #23 and I still really enjoy the characters and the glimpse of the future in this entertaining tale of this NYPD cop and her mega rich husband and friends. "
— Denise, 11/20/2013 -
" Nora Roberts continues this wonderful series with another solid work. I love the characters in this series, I love the passion between Eve and Roarke and I love the detective story that never gets forgotten. Great fast read. "
— Dani, 10/17/2013 -
" Even without the friend in the story existing, for some reason, I just felt that I kind of had the story figured out. I did enjoy this for more of the Mavis pregnancy story line. "
— Laura, 8/1/2013 -
" Good. Cool how one muder links to another. Glad they didn't torture tandy I probably would have cried. "
— Cindy, 7/1/2013 -
" totally hated the villains which makes this wonderful! "
— Sheila, 6/11/2013 -
" Love all her books! Wonder when (if) they make a TV series of Dallas' life. "
— Sharon, 4/30/2013 -
" Best one of these I've read in awhile. Mavis is one of my favorite characters in this series......WAY after Roarke, of course!! "
— Melodie, 4/5/2013 -
" I guessed this within the first few chapters. I've never been able to do that before, so I'm disappointed. There's starting to be a predictability about these books, and I hope it breaks. "
— Christine, 2/28/2013 -
" Babies are front and center...as may be obvious from the title! Crime solving, chases, and, ick, emotional stuff for Eve AND Roarke! "
— Kathy, 12/10/2012 -
" I thought it was two seemingly two unrelated story lines but somehow J.D. Robb managed to mesh the two together. In the end there was joy and happiness for her friend, Marvis. "

" attack of the baby snatchers "
— Helen, 7/4/2012 -
" I am planning to go back and read this series now that I have been introduced to it. I have been checking Ebay for a deal on a bunch of them together. "
— Angelle, 8/31/2011 -
" Total garbage. Maybe if she put more thought into her books instead of publishing one lime every two months, they might be worth reading. Her books require no intelligence whatsoever to read. "
— Kim, 5/21/2011 -
" Must be one of the best in this series, and it ended with me laughing my butt off. Great story line, two of them, actually. Not a dull moment from page one to the very end. It was nearly impossible to put this one down at all. Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! "
— Sandra, 5/10/2011 -

" This is not one of my favorites "
— Angela, 2/28/2011 -
" Again, a great book. The different scene with Roarke and Eve and Mavis' delivery were both touching and hilarious. "
— Patty, 1/31/2011 -
" To read an "in Death"... is to love the characters. Its best to start from the begining and grow with them. You actually start to think of them as friends. Roberts is by far the best writer of this century. Keep them coming. "
— Carla, 1/8/2011 -
" Love this series of books. Entertaining murder mystery's "
