Eve has seen this crime scene before: the artfully arranged body of a young brunette, arms spread, palms up, body marked by the signs of prolonged and painful torture. Carved into her torso is the time it took her to die - in hours, minutes, and seconds. And on the third finger of her left hand has been placed a silver ring. Eve is catapulted back to a case nine years earlier, when a man whom the media tagged “The Groom” put the city on edge with a killing spree that took the lives of four women in fifteen days. Eve and her partner Feeney, her friend and mentor, couldn’t stop him before he disappeared, only to resurface in other parts of the world to kill and kill again. But now The Groom seems to have come back to where he started. When it turns out that The Groom’s most recent victim was employed by Eve’s billionaire husband, Roarke, she brings him onto the case. A move that proves fitting when it becomes chillingly clear that the killer has made it personal. The corpse was washed in products from a store Roarke owns and laid out on a sheet his company manufactures. With the Groom’s monstrous return, Eve is determined to finish him once and for all. Familiar with his methods, she knows that he has already grabbed his next victim. But his sights are set on the biggest challenge of his illustrious career - an abduction that will test his skills and that promises to give him satisfaction as he’s never known. Time is running out on another woman’s life…and for Eve.

" Torture murders. Not as much sex as usual. "
" I read this as an audio book. Interesting mystery/fantasy. This series. In Death, takes place in 2060's. Really like the blend of technology with police procedure "
" The mind of the criminal/villain in this book reminded me of Hannibal Lector! Another good read by JD Robb in her futuristic series about policewoman/detective Eve. "
" An absolutely amazing book!!! It's certainly in my top five! "
" Too Gruesome. "
" Another one of my fave authors, great book! "
" Another great book in the series, with each book Eve and Roarke's relationship strengthens and there is more depth to the friends and colleagues Once you start this series you just have to read the next book "
" An entertaining read. I wish it would have introduced more technology since it was set in the future. "
" REALLY liked the ending on this one. "
" This is one of my favorites in the In Death series. "
" Great Book!!! All of her J.D. Robb books are great. I just love her characters in this series. Especially Eve Dallas :) "
" This one was about the same the second time around. Not the best, but still good. I think the fact that I was able to listen to this as if I'd never read it before kind of shows how forgettable it was. It just doesn't stand out much. But, it was enjoyable while reading/listening to it. "
" Loved rereading this book, it was interesting and intriguing, and my mom had a copy to read. Yep. "
" This is a re read for me. I have read the whole series as I love Roarke and Dallas and seeing their relationship grow stronger through each book. This one was Eve and roarke working together to catch a particularly nasty serial killer. brilliant! "
" Most of the books in this series I only read because Deanna passes them off to me, and I can't say no to a free book. This one book pleasantly surprised me. Interesting plot, suspense, what more could a girl ask for! "
" I have to say that the actual mystery/crime in this story irritated me and it felt like it was cleaned up too quickly in the end. However, the new information about the character relationships redeemed the book and made it totally worthwhile. "
" Another good one! I have read all of them and although there is a lot of "Oh my woman is so strong and wonderful" it's still good to read it. "
" Excellent excellent book. One of my favorites in the series. "
" Sometimes difficult to read as it was so vivid in detail on the way the victim dies. But, still compelling and very good. "
" Really Really Good.... Kept me going the whole time! "
" Except for the first in this series, which I really found unique, these books are interchangeable although still enjoyable. Roarke and Eve are an interesting couple. "
" This story was a bit difficult to get into than most of the others. Personally I didn't like that Roarke was so involved in the case, but I did like that the relationship between Eve and Feeny was developed more and that we got to see more of the dynamics among the officers in cop central. "
" Okay, I think this is has become one of my favorites in this series. It was excellent. I enjoyed it as it was more the "police work" end of it and seen from Roarke's perspective a lot of the time. "
" This was one of the better ones in a long time and could be read out of sequence. Boils down to the police thriller, the chase, the story. The backstory of the characters was incidental in this one. Really enjoyed it. "
" All one can expect from a J.D. Robb novel. Nora is very reliable. "
" Yucky Serial Killer! I had to skip a few chapters because the torture scenes were pretty gross! Really good book! Loved that Rourke was involved in the case from beginning to end. "
" Excellent, the best one yet!! "
" 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. "
" Hated it: too many names, never know who's talking; too technical; profanity; gross. Quit: did not read past p 40 "
" I love this series, it' s a great escape, futuristic, funny, nice character development over the arc of the series, some steamy sex scenes and good crimes. "
" Eve gets another crack at a serial killer that was never caught 9 years ago. Lots of Roarke POV as he helps with the case. Great read. "
" My love for this series has probably reached an unhealthy level. Eve Dallas can do no wrong. This bad guy was a particular bastard. I thoroughly enjoyed his demise. "
" Two-haiku review:History repeats.Torturer back in New York.Feeney feels failure.This time it's Eve's case.Roarke's employees being killed.Can she finish it? "
" The usual escapist eve and roarke read. :) "
" Oh, I didn't rate this. Oh well, another Eve Dallas cop thriller. Sometimes you just need to scratch the itch. "
