About this listen

 The brand-new crime thriller from Sunday Times bestselling author, J, D. Robb.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer

On a hot August night, Lt. Eve Dallas is called to a downtown club, where a joint bachelorette party full of love, friendship and laughter has taken a darker turn and ended in a crime scene. One of the brides has been garroted in a private room and lies dead in a pool of blood.

The brutal murder scene was just seconds from the packed dance floor but despite the dozens of people present, useful witnesses prove hard to come by. Someone must know something but no one is talking.

On the surface the two brides had a supportive, tightknit group of friends but when Eve starts to dig below the surface she discovers that everything may not be quite as it seems....©2010 J. D.

I've read all of the books in this series, and only listened to 2 on Audiobook. Have to say I don't really like the narrator. Her voice for Roarke makes me cringe - she's made him sound like a stereotypical Irishman (it's a wonder she doesn't pepper his speech with, "for sure, for sure"). Also the voice for Peabody is not how I would've imagined her speaking. She sounds like she was bought up in the Bronx - she's not a native of New York (perhaps the narrator hasn't read the earlier books?). I listen to a lot of books on audio (as well as reading a fair few as well), and even though the audiobook is slightly cheaper than the new release on Kindle, I think I'll wait to read the next one when the price is reduced.

The story for this one was very slow, but it was interesting to hear more of the dynamics of the main characters that are always to be found in any Eve Dallas story. In real life I think they would've closed this case much quicker - it was really drawn out, and could have been a short novella, instead of a full-blown Eve Dallas crime novel.

Could've been condensed into a Novella

Way too much of the book was taken up with characters sitting around having conversations. very little by way of actual plot. very weak motive for the murder and little to no investigation required to unmask the killer, Dallas just bullied him into confessinh which could have been done after 2 or 3 chapters. A weak effort in this series

good performance

Well below the usual standard for an Eve Dallas book, where was the excitement, twists and turns I listened to the end but was disappointed.

Disappointing
