When a murder disrupts the Irish vacation she is taking with her husband, Roarke, Eve realizes that no place is safe—not an Irish wood or the streets of the manic city she calls home. But nothing prepares her for what she discovers upon her return to the cop shop in New York City.... A driver for a top-of-the-line limousine service is found dead—shot through the neck with a crossbow. The car was booked by an executive at a venerable security company whose identity had been stolen. Days later, a stunning, high-priced escort is found killed at Coney Island, a bayonet stuck in her heart. And again, the trail leads to a CEO whose information has been hijacked. With a method established, but no motive to be found, Eve begins to fear that she has come across that most dangerous of criminals, a thrill killer, but one with a taste for the finer things in life—and death. Eve does not know where or when the next kill will be, or that her investigation will take her to the rarefied circle that Roarke travels in—and into the perverted heart of madness....

"A guilty pleasure but I have listened to/read every "in death" installment and will continue until they are no longer being written. Love the character development from book to book and the mystery is always interesting. The reader does an excellent job with the voices."
— Cara (4 out of 5 stars)
" One of my favorites. Totally worth the wait! "
— Keira, 2/14/2014" Amazing! So good as always. She can definetly solve a case. :) "
— Kaci, 2/8/2014" As always, a great read by JD Robb! "
— Debbie, 2/7/2014" She is just off her feed. I had to pick up Naked in Death as a palette cleanser. These books are getting predictable and boring: of course there are always flashes of Eve & Roarke brilliance but overall, I may have read the last book in this series that I'll feel the need to eventually buy in softcover at a UBS. Take a year off Nora! Let the creative juices for this series start to flow again. "
— Janet, 2/5/2014" Just as good as the rest of the series, though a bit improbable. "
— Marilyn, 2/3/2014" A detective, Eve, and her husband Roarke make a good couple in tracking down crime. She had a very nice relationship with his family in Ireland but always comes back to her native job of "crime-fighting. From crossbows to bayonets being used as weapons, they set out to find the killers. A good story but at times was repeticious. "
— Joanie, 2/1/2014" Another quality JD Robb/Nora Roberts book in this series. Roarke continues to be the hottest man in any books, in my humble opinion, and Eve Dallas kicks ass! "
— Trina, 1/1/2014" Another excellent addition to the series. "
— Steven, 1/1/2014" Great Story.. Favorite line in the book (or at least one of them)..."Why is that? Why do we love each other?" "Because we are what we are, & we're both okay with that.".... "
— Imjstgr8, 12/30/2013" I always enjoy this series, but Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb outdid herself with this one. "
— Denise, 12/30/2013" Awesome book! I love J.D. Robb and read through these fast. Kept me on the edge of my seat and couldn't put it down. I love these mysteries! "
— Amy, 11/30/2013" For the most part a good addition to this series. I missed not seeing Feeney, Peabody or McNab as much but the story all comes together just right. "
— Ivy, 11/16/2013" Like the TNT series Leverage, this story deals with "entitlement" along with boredom. Two wealthy men, best friends, who have always had everything grow bored with their life, so they create the ultimate game - a game of murder. "
— Kathryn, 10/10/2013" Another great book. Almost caught up on the series. "
— Abby, 7/7/2013" These are my escape books. Never let me down. Strong characters, murder, and fantasy. "
— Gail, 6/17/2013" Eve is great character. She is tough and loyal. I never get sick of Eve and Roarke's story. I love their relationship and I how they really understand each other. "
— Larissa, 3/13/2013" Typical to the series. Easy read. "
— CE, 11/10/2012" I can't beleive how long it took me to read this book. No fault of the book though. It was a good classic JD Robb. "
— Tiffany, 10/10/2012" How can you go wrong with Dallas, Rourke and the gang! "
— Gina, 7/21/2012" Another really good book in this enjoyable series! "
— Jana, 7/13/2012" I love the title of this book, as I always feel its an indulgence to read the JB Robb books. I get empowered by Eve's actions and get to live the life of a kickass detective. When I grow up, I want to be Eve Dallas. Or maybe Peabody. Hard to choose between the two. "
— Maggie, 3/20/2012" One of her better ones --- a whodunnit without much blood and gore. "
— Anna, 2/9/2012" Probably one of my favorite books in the series. "
— Soos, 9/23/2011" <br/>anonther " In Dearth " seriers <br/> <br/>Followtbg Eve Dallas, her husband , and Peabody <br/> <br/>takes place in 2060..... "
— Gene, 5/23/2011" I enjoyed it, and had a hard time putting it down. However, compared to some of the previous books it lacked a bit of suspense and the dialog is getting a bit harsh. It's hard to read with all the clipped conversation. Still love Roarke and Eve though! "
— Dawn, 5/23/2011" These are solid formulaic futuristic police procedural romances. I love them, have read them all. Eve Dallas is a terrific character. "
— Juno, 5/13/2011" I was beginning to think her plots are getting a bit stale, but I'm liking how this one changes it up. Still just getting into the meat of the story, but it's good so far. "
— Kristen, 5/12/2011" I thought this was one of the best ones she has written in a long time. I enjoy the series, but thought this was one of her better books. "
— Holly, 5/12/2011" Not quite as satisfying as her usual, but well-executed 'formula' writing. "
— Becky, 5/11/2011" Gives lots of insight into what kind of LT Dallas is. I don't really have anything else to say. So many corrupt cops. "
— Cassandra, 5/4/2011" Still enjoy this series. "
— Deb, 5/4/2011" One of the best in the In Death series. "
— cassie, 5/3/2011" I've read all thirty two books in this series and they are all exceptional. Gritty and edgy yet filled with wonderful characters and complex relationships. I highly recommend them all but you need to read them in order or you'll be confused! "
— Barbara, 5/3/2011" I love the characters in this series, unfortunately this one was nothing special. "
— Katie, 5/3/2011" I am hooked by this ongoing series - especally the evolution of the characters - all even the so called minor ones "
