Publisher Description
Eve Dallas and her partner, Peabody, are following up on a brutal, senseless crime — an elderly grocery owner killed by three stoned punks for nothing more than kicks and snacks. And for the first time, Peabody is primary detective on the case, which means she has to get used to a new level of authority and responsibility. Good thing she learned the ropes from a master like Eve. But after rounding up the perps, Peabody stumbles upon a much trickier situation. Determined to start working out as hard as she grills suspects, she chooses to do it at the old, rarely-used gym at Central. After a grueling workout, she squeezes into one of the narrow shower stalls, happy to have the place to herself. Just after she shuts the water off, the gym door clatters open — and while she cringes inside the stall, trying not to make a sound, Peabody overhears two fellow officers, Garnet and Oberman, arguing. References are made to delivering product, and a house in the islands, and someone named Keener who’s supposed to look like an OD. It doesn’t take long for a naked and vulnerable Peabody to realize that both officers are crooked — guilty not just of corruption but of murder as well. Fortunately, the two clear out of the locker room without realizing there was a witness. Eve Dallas may have trained Peabody well — but this is too dangerous for one person to take on alone. Now Peabody, Eve, and her husband, Roarke, must try to get the hard evidence they need to bring the dirty cops down — knowing all the while that the two have already killed to keep their secret, and are no doubt willing to do it again.

"This is one of the best books in this long-running series, IMO. In the beginning of the series (this is the newest at #32), Lt Eve Dallas was pretty much a loner with only a couple of people she was close to. Then she met and married Roarke and her world opened up considerably. One of the best aspects of this series has been watching Eve learning to care about other people as her circle of friends keeps expanding. In this book, Dallas and her partner, Detective Peabody, are up against some dirty cops and, while we've always known that Eve cared about the cops who work under her, we get to see just how much those cops care for her, too."

Treachery in Death Listener Reviews

" Eve kicks ass, literally. I'm so proud of her and Peabody! Yay! "
— Keira, 1/30/2014 -
" Absolutely not one of her best. Roberts may be running out of steam and who could blame her. Mediocre Eve Dallas is still better than other options so I won't give up yet. However, I felt like the character has lost her edge. All happy heroines are alike. "

" I thought this was one of the better In Death books. I loved how many of the characters were showcased, and how we got to know our main characters even better. "
— Beth, 1/20/2014 -
" I thought it was well put together and that all the characters are progressing, personality wise, as they should. I have to say I enjoyed this one better than the last "
— Deborah, 1/17/2014 -
" Nora Roberts as J.D. Robb never disappoints. I love my time spent with Dallas, Roark and everyone else! "
— Lorrie, 1/7/2014 -
" I enjoyed this story about a dirty cop and her demise. I didn't know it was a series. I'm going to have to track the rest down. "
— Deb, 1/2/2014 -
" Finished this one a while ago, guess I forgot to update. Anyway, another "killer" (tee-hee) from JD. "
— Kathy, 12/24/2013 -
" The "in death" series is one of my favorite go to brain-candy reads. After 32 editions, clearly Robb/Roberts isn't inventing the wheel. But they're consistently well written and entertaining. "
— Lori, 12/14/2013 -
" Hard to believe this is her 32nd book in the series; and I have read them all...... yes, i do enjoy them and this is just as enjoyable as her others. Peabody finally gets to be lead. And they are hinting of Eve actually taking over the chief's job..... "
— Nancy, 12/3/2013 -
" Everytime I read a new book in this series, I say to myself, no more . And yet, here I am again. There is something to be said about an easy, quick comfort read. Especially on a long flight. "
— K, 8/28/2013 -
" it starts out with a basic robbery/homicide and then leads into corruption "
— doug, 4/11/2013 -
" Another great Eve Dallas story. This time she's out to bring down some dirty cops. "
— Yvette, 2/3/2013 -
" Just finished it, had a hard time putting it down. I loved it. "
— Leanna, 11/25/2012 -
" One of the best Robb's in a while. Dallas and the gang investigate a murder and take on a group of dirty cops. "
— Deborah, 7/15/2012 -
" I guess some peple like this series but I will not be one to revisit it. I have read one or two in the past and my opinion has not changed "
— Cathy, 12/30/2011 -
" I thought that it was a good story. I'm one of those people who loved Columbo, so knowing who did it was fine. I had lots of fun watching them figure out a way to catch the baddie, and getting to see more interaction between the characters. "
— Dena, 7/28/2011 -
" 4.5 stars. So good! "
— engarde, 7/19/2011 -
" Since I like this series so much, I enjoyed this book. It wasn't my favorite one though. Partly because this story never left the precinct. The characters were well done, and the language flowed like the previous ones. "
— Ellen, 7/4/2011 -
" Satisfying as always, and the truth is I can't explain why. I am foolishly fond of the characters in this series. It feels like checking in on interesting old friends just to read about them. When is the next book due out? "
— Deborah, 3/28/2011
