Summary
When recovering drug addict Lyle Pickering is found dead of an overdose, it looks like a tragic accident. But his sister Rochelle knows better, and so does Lieutenant Eve Dallas. Lyle was murdered, and the evidence points directly to his old street gang.
As Eve and husband Roarke track the killer through the city's dive bars, drug dens and strip joints, another body is discovered. With connections growing between the living and the dead, and the body count on the rise, Eve knows she needs to close this case fast, before the killer's lust for power turns the city's streets into a bloodbath.

Predictable
This is the latest in a long running series and the story for me appeared formulaic. A difficult juggling act for the author who wants to give long running fans what they want but perhaps at the expense of any real surprises. This reminds me of the late great Robert b Parker, his dialogue was always sublime but whose plotting could sometimes appear perfunctory. I keep reading though which is perhaps the point but I really do wish that J D Robb would shake things up a bit.

Another winner
Really engaging story line and I was captured immediately. Narrator was excellent as always. Can’t wait for the next instalment of Eve and Roarke.

Always amazing
I just love the In Death series so much. I have listened to them all many times. This book I will say you should listen to if you already know the characters from the earlier books. There are so many different characters and I feel like they are so well described and brought in along the book series that it might be a lot to take in if you just tried to start from this book. For an avid fan it doesn't disappoint.
On a side note I was disappointed, like another reviewer, not to be able to enter the competition. I think that was very short sighted of the Macmillan book people.

Overall decent quality, with a good performance despite some of the accents needing work
There is a formula to the Eve Dallas novels, expected patterns of behaviour and expected outcomes. That doesn't mean that the story isn't enjoyable, in fact it's predictability is one of the things that makes these novels so successful. We know that Eve is going to be irritable, Roarke will have women swooning, while Peabody and McNab remain the cute young couple of kick ass detectives. It's a formula that, on the whole, works.
I enjoyed this novel as I've enjoyed it's predecessors. It isn't complicated or particularly deep, it's a comforting read where the good guys beat the bad guys and life continues on.
While I do enjoy Susan Erikson's audio performance for the most part, there is one element that continues to grate; the attempt at an Irish accent for Roarke. At times it morphs into Scottish, even hints of Welsh and an underlying American twang. As someone who lives in an area with a reasonable number of Irish accents - from all over the Emerald Isle - it has been interesting to see what native Irish friends have thought. The overall opinion hasn't been high. However I will say that if you can get past the Roarke accent, then the rest of the performance is a good standard and an enjoyable listen.

Another hit from J. D. Robb
Great story, as usual. I don't know what has happened with the audio editing in this book, but compared with the previous books, the sound here is hollow, as if the ears are filled with cotton. No complaint on the narrator, Susan Ericksen is one of the best!

Dallas Obsessive
Fabulous as always!
I own all of the In Death titles, and have listened to each of them dozens of times. They are my go-to entertainment, and can guarantee that Dallas's New York is irresistible.
This book isn't as complex as many others, and there aren't the surprises or twists we usually enjoy , which was a bit disappointing, but the characters are as reliable and attractive as ever. As always, Susan Ericksen's narration is perfect.
But UK listeners - anyone outside the US - can't enter competition so don't bother counting the bells throughout the story. It's a shame, but probably to be expected. Would have appreciated to be told from the beginning though!

No other
I have both read and listened to Nora Roberts and as I D
Robb since her first writings, I look forward to each new book under her own name and that of J D ROBB. For me I can go back and forth and listen to each book a second and third time easy. I never get tired of listening over and over again. Thank you . As an 82 year old your story's still keep me rivatad.. Roll on next ones .
