Amaryllis Coltraine may have recently transferred to the New York City police force from Atlanta, but she’s been a cop long enough to know how to defend herself against an assailant. When she’s taken down just steps away from her apartment, killed with her own weapon, for Eve the victim isn’t just “one of us.” Dallas’s friend Chief Medical Examiner Morris had started a serious relationship with Coltraine, and from all accounts the two were headed for a happy future together. But someone has put an end to all that. After breaking the news to Morris, Eve starts questioning everyone, including Coltraine’s squad, informants, and neighbors, while Eve’s husband, Roarke, digs into computer data on the dead woman’s life back in Atlanta. To their shock, they discover a connection between this case and their own painful, shadowy pasts. The truth will need to be uncovered one layer at a time, starting with the box that arrives at Cop Central addressed to Eve, containing Coltraine’s guns, badge, and a note from her killer: “You can have them back. Maybe someday soon, I’ll be sending yours to somebody else.” But Eve Dallas doesn’t take too kindly to personal threats, and she is going to break this case, whatever it takes. And that’s a promise.

— Natajia, 12/30/2013" This book was a bit more graphic than usual...either that, or the crime was just more sensitive to me this time. In any case...it was a great read. I love this series. "
— Cathy, 12/4/2013" This is the 28th book in the In Death series, and I've read them all. Some day J. D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts) will stop writing these, and I'll have to say good-bye to characters I've grown to care about. Hope that day isn't soon. "

— Mary, 10/24/2013" Excellent addition to this series. Eve Dallas investigates the murder of a fellow cop, and quickly comes to suspect that the killer must be another cop. "

— Paula, 12/17/2011" Like all J. D. Robb (Nora Roberts) books about policewoman Eve Dallan and her billionaire (and very handsome) husband, Roarke, this book is a real romp. Read it and enjoy! "
— Donna, 12/4/2011" Better than average cop drama... this is the second of the "In Death" series of books I've read, but I really need to go back and read them in order. Some interesting twists given that the stories are set about 50 years in the future. "
— Annie, 5/31/2011" I love love love this series, this one had a twist I could have never predicted. She never disappoints. "

— 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/> "
