When the newly promoted captain of the NYPSD and his wife return a day early from their vacation, they are looking forward to spending time with their bright and vivacious sixteen-year-old daughter, who stayed behind. Not even their worst nightmares could prepare them for the crime scene that awaits them instead. Deena has been brutally murdered in her bedroom, and her body shows signs of trauma that horrify even the toughest of cops, including our own Lieutenant Eve Dallas, who is specifically requested by the captain to investigate. When the evidence starts to pile up, Dallas and her team think they are about to arrest their perpetrator; little do they know that someone has gone to great lengths to tease and taunt them by using a variety of identities. Overconfidence can lead to careless mistakes. But for Dallas, one mistake might be all she needs to serve justice.

"Eve is called in to solve the brutal rape and murder of a cop's daughter. It brings back a lot of bad memories but Eve speaks for the dead and nothing is going to silence her now. It's a complex case and takes everyone's skills to find the murderer. It is a complex plot but Robb manages to tie everything together while still making time for Charles and Louise's wedding. It's pretty graphic but the relationship between Roarke and Eve is always entertaining."

" Another really good read. Eve investigates the death of a young girl, the daughter of a cop. It becomes linked to a second murder, and through that Eve discovers that any others are slated to be killed, in the twisted revenge of a young man whose mother was killed. Eve is coming to terms with her own abuse and there is good scenes with Roarke, although Peabody is rather absent. "
— Brenda, 1/19/2014" J.D Robb has packed this book with action,mystery and suspense. you never know what will happen next. in the back of your mind every second you read this. you will hate the murderer. feel bad for Deena. and most of all you will become the police. "
— Maggie, 1/17/2014" wow! can't put it down "
— Leanna, 11/28/2013" I think I'm done with this series. This one fell flat for me as did the previous one. I think I'm just bored. "
— Kelley, 11/28/2013" Started reading this series. They are fun and like the Scarpetta series it helps when you start with first book and follow the character through her development. "
— Sue, 11/13/2013" In this Eve Dallas novel, Eve is once again trying to balance her domestic life with her life as one of New York's top cops. When her captain calls her in on the brutal rape and murder of a sixteen-year-old girl, Dallas quickly learns the victim is the daughter of another newly promoted captain in the New York police department and the two captains are not only colleagues, but close personal friends. Eve is the only one either trusts on this case, but Eve's involvement comes at personal cost as memories of her own abuse at the hands of her father filter through the brutality. Eve and her team, including her hunky husband Roark of course, quickly discover that this murder was not an isolated incident and must race to catch a vengeful serial killer before anyone else loses a loved one. A fast-paced, enjoyable read. "
— Samantha, 11/6/2013" Another good read from J.D. Robb. I always enjoy reading about her characters. The storyline was a good one about revenge and about things we are told versus reality. I think that she could have taken the storyline a bit deeper, but no complaints about it. "
— Kathryn, 11/4/2013" Very good and emotional. There were some funny lines in this one too. "
— Teryl, 9/8/2013" Okay, but gruesome at times especially when the murder of the young girl was described over and over. "
— Grace, 9/6/2013" Hard to read about the rapes and sodimy of a 16 year old virgin, but another good book. Charles and Louise get married at the end. "
— Tweller83, 9/3/2013" fantastic!!could not put it down.I have fallen in love with eve dallas!!! "
— Tanya, 8/23/2013" I love this series. This was a really interesting one. I liked how we hot to hear more of Jamie. Even though the wedding was mostly in the background it was still interesting. "
— Gina, 7/11/2013" I never miss anything by Nora Roberts or JD Robb, but I wouldn't say I found anything in this book to be illuminating. It's just an easy read in a genre that I enjoy. "
— Cristin, 4/10/2013" Not much to say about this story. Once again I enjoyed an Eve Dallas mystery. This one, we learn more details about Eve's past which isn't pretty. Roarke is once again a lovely and supportive husband. There's just something lovely about this man. I wish there was more about Roarke. "
— ♆, 3/19/2013" This was in insane book about a murdered 16 year-old girl. Her death was brutal. This book was really hard to read, but it was really well written. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes a good murder mystery. "
— Becca, 11/28/2012" What more can I say about this series . . . the series just improves with each book that comes out! "
— JazzRizz, 9/4/2012" I'm on an Eve and Roarke kick right now. These books are so good! I think what I especially enjoy are the characters and their relationships. We usually get to see old friends popping up from book to book and they actually tend to grow as the series goes along. "
— Maddy, 6/20/2012" Just another one of many I have loved by her. "
— Thomas, 4/16/2012" Since I've stopped watching TV and movies, my ability to read books with explicit violence in them has retreated back to pre-TV levels. This book was good, but the rape scenes were too much. "
— Anna, 9/16/2011" More of the same. I don't have a lot to say about any of these at this point. It's a formula and I'm reading them so close together, that it kind of tires me. "
— Jenn, 9/11/2011" It's hard to say this is a wonderful story when the plot was so dark, but it was. As always I loved see how Eve and the gang is doing. Robb has a wonderful way with words, she's one of those authors that make you feel emotion after emotion, as you read her stories. This is a must read. "
— Ann, 6/9/2011" I just love this series! "
— Beth, 5/29/2011" Another really good book in this enjoyable series! "
— Jana, 5/8/2011" Ah, another great Lieutenant Eve Dallas and Roarke book! You can see the action as if watching a movie while you read. "
— Sharon, 5/5/2011" This was a great JD Robb book. JD Robb's mysteries are always a book I read in 1 or 2 days because I do not want to put the book down. She is fun writer and it is a light read. "
— Bonnie, 5/1/2011" I like how Eve's softer, more emotional side is coming out in the later books in the In Death Series. Could've used more of it based in Ireland, but that's a personal preference, not a flaw.<br/>All in all a good read, hard to put the book down. "
— Shirl, 4/28/2011" I really enjoy this series. This book was as well written, engaging, and as fun to read as the rest. Keep them coming!! (er, as in, more books please) "
— Karen, 4/18/2011" Eve and Roarke in fine form. One of the best of this long-running series. "
— Stephanie, 4/16/2011" This wasn't my favorite Death book. I really liked the beginning, but it lagged big time in the middle, and raced to the finish, and had an abrupt ending. It seemed to take me a long time to read this one.<br/> "
