Publisher's Summary

Lieutenant Eve Dallas returns in the new novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense, and takes on a case of death imitating art...

It was a stab in the dark.

On a chilly February night, during a screening of Psycho in midtown, someone sunk an ice pick into the back of Chanel Rylan's neck, then disappeared quietly into the crowds of drunks and tourists in Times Square. To Chanel's best friend, who had just slipped out of the theater for a moment to take a call, it felt as unreal as the ancient black-and-white movie up on the screen. But Chanel's blood ran red, and her death was anything but fictional.

Then, as Eve Dallas puzzles over a homicide that seems carefully planned and yet oddly personal, she receives a tip from an unexpected source: an author of police thrillers who recognizes the crime - from the pages of her own book. Dallas doesn't think it's coincidence, since a recent strangulation of a sex worker resembles a scene from her writing as well. Cops look for patterns of behavior: similar weapons, similar MOs. But this killer seems to find inspiration in someone else's imagination, and if the theory holds, this may be only the second of a long-running series.

The good news is that Eve and her billionaire husband Roarke have an excuse to curl up in front of the fireplace with their cat, Galahad, reading mystery stories for research. The bad news is that time is running out before the next victim plays an unwitting role in a murderer's deranged private drama - and only Eve can put a stop to a creative impulse gone horribly, destructively wrong.

From the author of Echoes in Death, this is the latest of the edgy, phenomenally popular police procedurals that Publishers Weekly calls "inventive, entertaining, and clever."

The story was entertaining and very typical of the Eve Dallas series. I've read the other books in the series and this is the first time I've listened to one in audio format. I did have a couple of issues with the performance. Dallas's sidekick is "Peabody" so I'm not sure why the narrator kept calling her "Peabuddy". Also, the voice she used for Peabody sounded like Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer when he had to wear that black thing on his nose. I don't know why she couldn't just talk normal. Some of the other voices were strange, too, but that one really bugged me.

I love J.D. Robb Books

Classic Eve Dallas mystery. Has you going along with the hunt for the bad guy. Great storyline. But the growth of Nadine is this book just makes you want to read the next and see what happens for her next.

disappointing...

As usual narrator was perfect........however, can find fault with almost every other aspect of this novel....have been a fan since NAKED IN DEATH but have noticed a decline in quality in the approximately last 3 books of the series......too much talking....too little gripping action.....too much Roarke/Eve sex (believe it or not!!)....too little dependence on fine cast of characters built up in other books of series .....Will return this one asap
