Publisher Description
The death of history teacher Craig Foster devastated his young wife, who’d sent him off to work that morning with a lovingly packed lunch. It shocked his colleagues at the Upper West Side private school. And as for the ten-year-old girls who found him in his classroom in a pool of bodily fluids, they may have been traumatized for life. Lieutenant Eve Dallas, of course, is more hardened to murder cases. And this is clearly a murder case. That lovingly packed lunch was tainted with deadly ricin. And Mr. Foster’s colleagues, shocked as they may be, have some shocking secrets of their own. It’s Eve’s job to get a feel for all the potential suspects, and find out why someone would have done this to a man who seemed so inoffensive, so pleasant…so innocent. Now Magdelana Percell – there’s someone Eve can picture as a murder victim. Possibly at Eve’s own hands. The slinky blonde - an old flame of her billionaire husband, Roarke, from his days on the wrong side of the law – has turned up in New York, and she’s anything but innocent. Unfortunately, Roarke seems blind to Magdelana’s manipulation, but not to her shapely figure and flirtatious ways. And he insists that the occasional lunch or business meeting with her is nothing to worry about…and none of Eve’s business. Eve’s so unnerved by the situation that she finds it hard to focus on the Foster case. Still, she’ll have to put aside her anger, jealousy, and heartbreak, for a while at least - because another man has just turned up dead, and the case is taking some strange turns and hitting some frustrating dead ends. Eve knows all too well that innocence can be a façade. Keeping that in mind may help her solve this case at last. But it may also tear apart her marriage.

"ok, so after book on book in the "in death" series you start to wonder whether robb was going to get tiring... my answer is that i ended up staying up well past when i went to bed to finish this book--my definition of a 5 star book. yes, i figured out who the killer was long before it was revealed, but i was stumped as to why or how dallas was going to trip the killer up. and i liked the side-story line between roarke & dallas--i felt it was a very real interaction between them that moved their relationship forward. (yes, i'm being very careful in not revealing anything.... i want you to read the book yourself!) obviously, i wouldn't recommend reading this book without the ones before it (and don't let 20+ books scare you--its worth it), but robb has not faded a bit with time."

— Cindy, 1/15/2014 -
" Chillingly possible. "
— Julianna, 1/11/2014 -
" As of May 2013, this is still my very favorite of all of the eve and Roarke books.. In it, Roarke is revealed as being human. In so many of the others, he is simply too good to be true. "
— Trish, 1/8/2014 -
" Upsetting, but an excellent read. A little hard to stomach, though not gory. I don't want to give it away, but it is beyond the pale for me. Well-written. "
— Mary, 12/20/2013 -
" This was a good book. Had me thinking and I did second guess myself a few times on what was going on. But I was originally right. "
— Danielle, 12/19/2013 -
" I love the J.D. Robb series. This book was a great one in the series. The relationship between Eve and Roarke hits a bump. The murders she investigates take an interesting twist. Always good for a fun read. "
— Casey, 12/12/2013 -
" This is by far my favorite book so far in the series! It has a little of everything in it. This one had the most spunk and drama both personally and work related for Dallas. "
— Rina, 12/8/2013 -
" As I'm new to the futuristic concept it took some getting used to. It was a good read and the characters are certainly worthy of a series. "
— Stacy, 12/6/2013 -
" Enjoyable, but predictable. Good secondary characters. "
— S, 8/23/2013 -
" This book was so heartbreaking and so very perfect. I felt so bad for Eve and Roarke as they were having some marriage issues, but it was great how it was resolved. The crime Eve was solving was even more crazy, heartbreaking, and absolutely amazing. Loved this one! "
— Shae, 7/5/2013 -
" We know Summerset and Eve's relationship has gotten better but this book is where he lets Eve know that he supports her. Great scene when Eve punches that b*tch LOL. "
— Abegail, 3/3/2013 -
" I am really enjoying reading this series of literary junk food--entertaining mystery punctuated with sex and violence. This one adds a little more spice with marital battles and make-up sex. Sure beats watching TV in order to treat yourself to a lazy, pleasant evening. "
— Lola4, 11/5/2012 -
" I have read eight "in Death" novels and this is the best - thus far. In my ever so humble opinion. "
— Bcoghill, 10/25/2012 -

" A fun quick read. I was happy to like the charact6ers in this book, they didn't annoy me, much better than "On the Run" "
— Diane, 6/28/2012 -
" Loved it even though I had it figured out from the beginning! "
— Liberty, 4/7/2012 -

" Finished: March 22, 2007 "
— Nancy, 1/19/2012 -
" Once you find out who done it and why, you'll have nightmares!!!!!! "
— Cheryl, 10/18/2011 -
" Craig Foster was a special teacher. He would have been remembered as a formative influence by many of his students if only he hadn't been poisoned at age 26. What makes this especially awkward for Eve is that so many of her witnesses are children with overprotective parents and teachers. "
— Joy, 10/7/2011 -
" Riveting plot. "
— Andrea, 9/24/2011 -
" The first few chapters were really boring because is so not like other J.D Robb's books. There are 2 murders in this book. The last few chapters was dedicated in revealing the murderer. Unexpected murderer, but the story seem very breezy, a little fake. "
— Abigail, 5/25/2011 -
" One of my favorite series! "
— Sherlynn, 5/14/2011 -

" I hadn't read any of this series since 2007 and I had forgotten how much enjoyment I had from them previously. I will search out the other books I have missed "
— Teotakuu, 5/7/2011 -
" Pretty decent who done it although Robb often forgets she is writing in the future and she gets a little too sappy. "
— Oldesq, 4/11/2011 -
" I listened to this book on CD. I would have preferred to fast forward through some of the dialog, but it did help with the drive through Nebraska and I was curious enough about the "whodunit" to finish it driving around town. "
— Kelli, 4/10/2011 -
" A bad penny and a bad seed "
— Helen, 3/31/2011 -
" I like this author no matter what name she uses. I also like that the same story characters are used and updated as we go along. "
— Jackie, 3/27/2011 -
" This book was extremely disturbing but it was so good! All the Eve and Rourke drama really added something to make me feel so engaged with the story. "
— G, 3/6/2011 -
" This has always been one of my favorite In Death books, because the appearance of Magdalena and the interpersonal tension between Eve and Roarke is totally delicious and full of awesome. The only problem with this book is that Roarke doesn't do NEARLY enough groveling. "
— Angela, 3/2/2011 -
" Woah, I didn't want to believe who the killer was until the facts were laid out and then I just wished it wasn't true. "
— Petra, 2/21/2011 -
" A good story and a good plot. Interesting characters and lots of girl power. "
— Michelleluster, 2/15/2011 -
" Such a good series! The woman detective Eve is so smart and sensual. The murderer in this story will surprise you. "
— Rio, 2/10/2011 -
" I loved this book mostly because the lives of Roarke and Eve outside the case was just as juicy and page turning as th crime itself. Books like this one really make me laugh and enjoy the series. "
— Scelest, 2/9/2011 -
" Absolutely could not put this book down. I suspected the murderer from the very beginning for once. Loved it. "
— Patty, 1/31/2011 -
