Eve Dallas is one tough cop. She’s got no problem dealing with a holiday reveler in a red suit who plunges thirty-seven stories and gives new meaning to the term “sidewalk Santa.” But when she gets back to the station and Trudy Lombard shows up, it’s all Eve can do to hold it together. Instantly, she’s plunged back into the past, to the days when she was a vulnerable, traumatized girl - trapped in foster care with the twisted woman who now sits in front of her, smiling. Trudy claims she just wanted to see how Eve was doing. But Eve’s husband, Roarke, suspects otherwise - and his suspicions prove correct when Trudy arrives at his office demanding money in exchange for keeping the ugly details of his wife’s childhood a secret. Barely restraining himself, Roarke shows her the door - and makes it clear that she’d be wise to get out of New York and never bother him or his wife again. But just a few days later, Trudy’s found on the floor of her hotel room, a mess of bruises and blood. A cop to the core, Eve is determined to solve the case, if only for the sake of Trudy’s bereaved son. Unfortunately, Eve is not the only one to have suffered at this woman’s hands, and she and Roarke will follow a circuitous, dangerous path to find out who turned this victimizer into a victim.

"Memory in Death by J D Robb is an excellent addition to her "In Death" series. I am not a fan of detective or murder mystery reader. However, I love this series. A futuristic cop and her not exactly legit wealthy husband make for humor, intense drama and a sweet romance."

— Caro, 2/20/2014" I enjoyed this book. I didn't want the victim to be killed as soon. Wanted to see what would have happened if her blackmail plan went through "

— Debbie, 2/13/2014" Takes place in the year 2059. It is a murder mystery. Kept me turning the pages. I enjoyed it. "
— Robin, 2/10/2014" [Copied across from Library Thing; 9 February 2013] "
— Kerry, 1/25/2014" Interesting character development, but again, although these are enjoyable (or I would not have been reading through the series), there is not really much new here beyond decent world building and enjoyable supporting cast. "
— S, 1/16/2014" This was the first of the In Death series I read, but I found it so easy to follow and "get", even though I was starting in the middle. Eve's internal tug-of-war over her childhood becomes even clearer here. Powerful Memories, powerful growth. Love this. "
— Amy, 1/10/2014" Not a bad book, but just like Eve, it's hard to feel interested in a subject if you just don't care. Well-written as usual. I like getting more of Eve's background, but the actual mystery was uninteresting and I knew who the bad guy was from the minute they were introduced. "
— Katiedavis, 1/9/2014" Still loving this series. I thought I might try to catch up this year, but I just don't see it happening. "
