Summary

Lieutenant Eve Dallas walks the thin line between love and hate in this fabulous 40th thriller from #1 New York Times bestseller J. D. Robb....

Eve Dallas has solved a lot of high-profile murders for the NYPSD and gotten a lot of media. She - and her billionaire husband - are getting accustomed to being objects of attention, of gossip, of speculation.

But now Eve has become the object of one person's obsession. Someone who finds her extraordinary, and thinks about her every hour of every day. Who believes the two of them have a special relationship. Who would kill for her - again and again....

With a murderer reading meanings into her every move, handling this case will be a delicate - and dangerous - psychological dance. And Eve knows that underneath the worship and admiration, a terrible threat lies in wait. Because the beautiful lieutenant is not at all grateful for these bloody offerings from her "true and loyal friend." And in time, idols always fall....

Sussn Erickson always delivers

I've read the book (I usually do with audiobooks) so I knew the story. Favourite scene? I guess with Hastings. I remember him from Portraits in Death, so it was good to see the character being developed like that.

When I first started listening to JD Robb on audio, I wasn't sure about Susan Erickson (I still don't really like her voice for Peabody) but now, for me that's how Dallas sounds.

Frosty!

Obsessed! Me?

A very good listen. A tidy story that keeps you guessing all the way through to the end. And unlike the last couple of nooks that I have listened to this one has a beginning, middle and end. In that order.

J D Robb at her best

Would you listen to Obsession in Death again? Why?

I've listened to or read every book in the series, many more than once. Its a series which is set in the future which may put some people off however little is too far fetched, except the flying cars. Twist in the tale is worth waiting for,

Who was your favorite character and why?

Favourite character has to be Peabody. Down to earth, sensible shoes, loves pink and the boyfriend. Never jealous of Eve money and status.

What about Susan Ericksen’s performance did you like?

Susan Ericksen's voice is great, don't think the audible versions of the books would be as good with a different reader.

Any additional comments?

Loved this series from the start. Strong female detective with a sexy husband and a down to earth side kick. If you haven't tried any of the In Death books give them a go.

A lack-luster addition to this long running series

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I have long been a fan of this series, but I am finding the later books far less enjoyable than the earlier ones. This isn't bad - just a little unoriginal. I enjoyed the reading, but the writing is a little formulaic, and I'm finding the obligatory sex scenes just embarrassing!

What could J. D. Robb have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

This series is increasingly hit & miss, perhaps if Ms Robb wrote fewer books and spent a little more time on the plot they would be more original.

If this book were a film would you go see it?

Probably not.

Just ok

Narrator was ok, storyline was just ok too, this didn't grip me enough to listen every minute I was able to though.
