Another Great Dallas Story

If you could sum up Born in Death in three words, what would they be?

Dallas and Rorke continue to evolve, and Mavis gives birth, while another killer is brought down. What more is there to say? :)

What does Susan Ericksen bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?

I have listened to the entire series up to this point, and Susan is outstanding in almost all of them. There was one or two titles where she seemed to lose her rhythm, but she is back on track here. Her use of separate voices for each character makes it easy to picture the conversation going on, and help keep the story flowing without the constant

Any additional comments?

If you love the Dallas series, this one will make you happy. If you are not familiar with the series, you should probably start back at volume 1. Though each title mostly stands on its own, there is a definite progression of the characters and their relationships, and the story makes more sense with that background.

I loved it.

Classic Nora -- fantasy, mystery, love, and suspense, all wrapped up with a ridiculously happy ending. The narrator does a great job and it's just great, fun, escape.

Funny, capturing, sad .... did I mention VERY funny?

I listen to the story in bed, at the end of the day, instead of watching the boring car shows (fixing the old & making the new, recreating for auctions...etc) and/or Pawn shop shows...you know, the guy's choice when they have the TV remote control. I set for the book to turn off at the end of the chapter just in case I fall asleep. But I end up laughing, cracking up, and now I am being watched by my spouse. Most times I share with my husband: How Roark and Eve act when Mavis has the baby....what Eve says as the head come out and the thought was just so hilarious! Just as funny as what Roark says when Even suggests that she (at the end of bed, where Mavis's the legs are spread) and Roark (at the head of the bed) switch places: His retort to that and to most everything to do with the Prego-Mavis were hilarious!

The story was creative (as most of them are in the Death Series), chilling, and well, a story w/o humor is not that impressive. But hey, listen to the Death series and make an opinion all your own.

What I don't like about the series is that in many/most or if not every one of the stories: Bad man 1 kills bad man 2 or when two other characters in the book hurt each other ... they have a mind to this own, nothing to do with Eve and Eve sits their and has a fit "I should've done this or that...." and takes the actions of someone else and complains, whines, kicks the desk because she is the one to blame: The only thing going on is Eve having her asinine fit. And she is like a spoiled brat: I don't wanna go to sleep now..... I don't wanna eat now..... then Roark has to literally treat her like a child, scold her, make/trick her take her medicine. I like Eve, but I wish she hadn't turned into such a spoiled brat (at times).

I love Mavis!

I like this book a lot because Mavis plays a bigger role in this one. It's an interesting story. Worth the time and the credit.

Funny and Creepy

Figured out the villain/villains quite early in the book . Even though, I sort of enjoyed it; this isn't one of the best of the series.

The baddies and why they were bad plotline faltlined halfway through.

Only saving grace was Mavis and Leonardo hilarious storyline and Susan Ericksen great narration.

I love Lieutenant Dallas.. Susan Erickson is "Mag"

Susan Erickson is the "Ult"... She nails it every time! She keeps me coming back. Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb is a black comedy genius! I'll probably listen to all of them!

Great book

This one was even more entertaining than usual, with the birthing antics and with Roark's creative cursing. Blurb covers storyline. Highly recommend.

Babies everywhere

I love that two strong people were brought to their knees by the prospect of helping birth babies. The comedy is golden and well written. The heart, Summerset loans Mavis his beloved’s wife’s ring.
