Technology may be different in 2060 New York, yet the city is still a place of many cultures and great divides. And as ever, some murders receive more attention than others - especially those in which the victim is a prominent businessman, found in his Park Avenue apartment, tied to the bed - and strangled - with cords of black velvet. It doesn’t surprise Lieutenant Eve Dallas that Thomas Anders’s scandalous death is a source of titillation and speculation for the public - and humiliation for his family. While everyone else in the city is talking about it, those close to Anders aren’t so anxious to do so. Fortunately, because Dallas’s billionaire husband, Roarke, happens to own the prime real estate where Anders’s sporting-goods firm was headquartered, she has some help with access. Before long, she’s knocking on doors - or barging through them - to look for the answers she needs. But the facts don’t add up. Physical evidence suggests that the victim didn’t struggle. The security breach in the highly fortified apartment indicates that the killer was someone close to Anders, but everyone’s alibi checks out, from the wife who was off in the tropics to the loving nephew who stands to inherit millions. Was this a crime of passion - or a carefully planned execution? It’s up to Dallas to solve a sensational case where all involved guard secrets from one another - and strangers may be connected in unexpected, and deadly, ways. “Nora Roberts is cool.” - Stephen King

"Reading an In Death book is like lying in bed on a rainy afternoon, cuddled up with a cat or two, munching on chocolates... and reading a good book. I don't do mysteries as a rule, but because I love the background and characters so much, these mysteries are fun. As usual, I adore Eve and Roarke, and all their friends. More Mavis next time! Can't wait to read the next one -- I'm saving it for a while. ;)" — H.A. (4 out of 5 stars)

" Another brilliant audio book by J.D. Robb and Narrated by Susan Ericksen . "
" This was the 1st one I've read in this series. The futuristic setting wasn't too far beyond the realm of possibility. I figured out the plot for the most part. It dragged just a little in the middle - I was ready to nail the killer already. The love scenes were too much of the "bodice-ripping" variety for me. The characters are well developed and my favorite part of the book was the dialogue between them. "
" Here is why this book got 5 stars: I knew who the murderer was, I knew the basic plot-who isn't familiar with "Strangers on a Train"?-and I still couldn't figure out HOW she did it! It kept me reading until late at night. Loved it!! "
" Audio Book - J.D. Robb is NOT one of my favorite authors. "
" The end made me grin. "
" A fairly solid, straight-forward entry in the series. There is a big twist toward the end, and I'm rather surprised I didn't predict it given the hints were obvious, but sometimes they sneak up on you. "
" I listened to this one because I was able to get it dirt cheap on ebay :) But I'm glad I did. I thought this detective story was more complete than many others I've read. "
" I love all of these books "
" Eve Dallas in my favorite character - I just love this series. This was another excellent book. It was well written and funny too. "
" I am hooked on the J D Robb books and this is another enjoyable and interesting book. The stories for Lt. Eve Dallas in New York in 2050+ continue to be ineteresting mystery stories and entertaining reads. "
" Read for a mystery book club...I need to read a few other books in the series to tie the characters all together. "
" I love this books, I still have not read one that I have not been satisfied with. Hard to put down. "
" loved it...can never have enough of Eve and Roarke. "
" This book didn't have the steam that the other In Death have had. I cannot tell you what was missing without spoiling the book, so I will just say read it and make up your own mind. "
" This is another good Eve Dallas Murder mystery. I guess you could say they were predictable but I still enjoy them and all the characters. "
" Tis book was much better as an audio. But I can see how it didn't seem as good reading it. Have it performed is more entertaining. But it was a lot of talking with an anti climactic ending. Not one of my favorites. "
" I found the title leading and was able to guess the killer far too early in the book. I still liked it though as the characters are always entertaining. "
" As always Nora delivers, again. Dallas and Roarke work through another murder and advance the depth of their marriage. I was very satisfied with this book. I have read the entire series and have enjoyed all but one. "
" Another solid adventure in the series. Really, I could just cut and paste any of my previous positive reviews of any book in the series; they're all consistently entertaining and interesting. "
" Not quite as intense as some of her other "In Death" stories, but always a good read. Looking forward to the next one. "
" I don't really learn anything from these books I just like to read them and relax. After the last book I read I need something kind of easy. I've read all these books and really like them. "
" This was another fun installment of the In Death series. I quite enjoyed it. "
" I like it especially, when Eve (and we) knows whodunnit from almost the start and she has to outwit the killer. "
" but not on a train. Long and meaty with a satisfying end "
" Easy to read and go to sleep after. "
" Couldn't even get through 50 pages. I couldn't figure out half the things they were talking about and then realized it takes place in the year 2060. I still didn't really care what happened with the story line. "
" I do not care for the books that Nora Roberts wrote as J.D. Robb. "
" Again, great book. Could not put it down!! JD needs to write more of these! "
" tak perlu dikatakan lagi d.. thumbs up!!!! "
" To read an "in Death"... is to love the characters. Its best to start from the begining and grow with them. You actually start to think of them as friends. Roberts is by far the best writer of this century. Keep them coming. "
" Fast paced and kept my interest the entire book. Very different than a usual Nora Roberts "
" Even though there is only one murder in this book it was longer than any of the other books I've listen to so far, but it was also really interesting and seemed to go really fast. And I have been waiting for this particular plot. [spoilers removed] Interesting and engaing. "
" Another wonderful installment. This one lacked some of the tension with Eve and Roarke that made the last one so great, but I love how they resolve issues in this one. "
