Story
While Eve examines a fresh body in Washington Square Park, her husband, Roarke, spots a man among the onlookers he’s known since his younger days on the streets of Dublin. A man who claims to be his half brother. A man who kills for a living - and who burns with hatred for him. Eve is quick to suspect that the victim’s spouse - resentful over his wife’s affair and poised to inherit her fortune - would have happily paid an assassin to do his dirty work. Roarke is just as quick to warn her that if Lorcan Cobbe is the hitman, she needs to be careful.

Story
The body was left in a dumpster like so much trash, the victim a woman of no fixed address, known for offering paper flowers in return for spare change - and for keeping the cops informed of any infractions she witnessed on the street. But the notebook where she scribbled her intel on litterers and other such offenders is nowhere to be found. Then Eve is summoned away to a nearby building site to view more remains - in this case decades old, adorned with gold jewelry and fine clothing - unearthed by recent construction work.

Story
Pediatrician Kent Abner received the package on a beautiful April morning. Inside was a cheap trinket, a golden egg that could be opened into two halves. When he pried it apart, highly toxic airborne fumes entered his body - and killed him. After Eve Dallas calls the hazmat team - and undergoes testing to reassure both her and her husband that she hasn’t been exposed - it’s time to look into Dr. Abner’s past and relationships. Not every victim Eve encounters is an angel, but it seems that Abner came pretty close.

Story
The woman’s body was found in the early morning, on a bench in a New York City playground. She was clean, her hair neatly arranged, her makeup carefully applied. But other things were very wrong—like the tattoo and piercings, clearly new. The clothes, decades out of date. The fatal wound hidden beneath a ribbon around her neck. And the note: Bad Mommy, written in crayon as if by a child.

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.

New York, 2061: The place called the Pleasure Academy is a living nightmare where abducted girls are trapped, trained for a life of abject service while their souls are slowly but surely destroyed. Dorian, a thirteen-year-old runaway who’d been imprisoned there, might never have made it out if not for her fellow inmate Mina, who’d hatched the escape plan. Mina was the more daring of the two—but they’d been equally desperate. Now Dorian is injured, terrified, and wandering the streets of New York, and Mina lies dead near the waterfront while Lt. Eve Dallas looks over the scene.

The shots came quickly, silently, and with deadly accuracy. Within seconds, three people were dead at Central Park's ice skating rink. The victims: a talented young skater, a doctor, and a teacher. As random as random can be. Eve Dallas has seen a lot of killers during her time with the NYPSD, but never one like this. After reviewing security videos, it becomes clear that the victims were killed by a sniper firing a tactical laser rifle, who could have been miles away when the trigger was pulled.

Publisher's Summary
"[Narrator Susan] Ericksen's quick pacing matches the intensity of the story. Whether one is new to the series or a longtime listener, Ericksen's presentation will entertain." (AudioFile Magazine)
In the new Eve Dallas police thriller from number one New York Times best-selling author J. D. Robb, what looked like a lover’s quarrel turned fatal has larger - and more terrifying - motives behind it....
The scene in the West Village studio appears to be classic crime-of-passion: two wineglasses by the bed, music playing, and a young sculptor named Ariel Byrd with the back of her head bashed in. But when Dallas tracks down the wealthy Upper East Side woman who called 911, the details don’t add up. Gwen Huffman is wealthy, elegant, comforted by her handsome fiancé as she sheds tears over the trauma of finding the body - but why did it take an hour to report it? And why is she lying about little things?
As Eve and her team look into Gwen, her past, and the people around her, they find that the lies are about more than murder. As with sculpture, they need to chip away at the layers of deception to find the shape within - and soon they’re getting the FBI involved in a case that involves a sinister, fanatical group and a stunning criminal conspiracy.

Think Handmaids tale...
Really enjoyed this last one in the series. The beginning had us thinking it would be pretty cut and dry. Nice twists, and good pace.
The only thing I would change about how this series is being narrated is with so many characters in the series, it would be so much better to have separate voice actors. It makes it hard with all the dialogue between characters.

First In Death Installment I ever returned
I hate to do this, but I’m going to drop this series as I’ve grown tired of the similar or parallel plots to previous installments. In addition, the frequency of victimized women and/or their circumstances similar to Eve’s past has become tedious. Don’t get me wrong, I applaud Eve’s resolute determination to make something of herself despite her tragic beginnings. However, I'm tired of almost every victim reminding Eve of herself and that room in Dallas, TX.
I've stuck with this series for this long because I love how the supporting cast is well fleshed out. Unfortunately, the increasing transparency of social commentary cancels out any "escapism" in fiction. For the first time, I ended up returning this title and exchanging it for something else.

Peabody is still my favorite character
I have listened to every book in the series and there is now a sameness about the books. The series is getting old and tired. The books are interesting in parts but many of them fail to keep my attention. Some of the things I did not like, or that are growing old are:
The plots have become unbelievable. NYPSD does not plan an international assault.
No police Department would allow a lieutenant's husband to take a central role in a complex assault.
Dr. Mira is completely unbelievable - a psychologist cannot know everything about a criminal after only one interview
Mavis is way too over the top dramatic. In fact the entire books are becoming too melodramatic
Eve is always snarky and is very self important - she expects Roark to stop everything and help her.
Roark has too much to do with his businesses to get so involved in his wife's police work.
Sex scenes are thrown in randomly and are unrealistic and repetitive.
The introductory music for this book was not like previous books - I did not like it.
I thought this book was a little "woke" and I am sick to death of woke. I want to escape from it.
This book and most of the previous books are much too long - a lot of unnecessary detail - it drags.
Robb consistently throws almost every character into each book - usually gratuitously
I do like Peabody an little Bella. They are fun characters and make me smile. And I like the narration by Susan Ericksen. She is always excellent and is NOT old and tired.

Every year I waite for the release of the next In Death book. This does not disappoint. I love reconnecting with all the characters. Mavis bought a house.(sorry for the spoiler) This is a complicated, many layered story, Thank you Nora Roberts all the hours of pleasure you have given this old lady. You make me feel young.

fanaticism to the ult
Another winner from J D Robb in the In Death series. The gang is all here in this one. But Eve must bring in outside help to take down a cult committing the most heinous of crimes in the name of a " higher power". It starts with the murder of an artist who was having a secret lesbian affair with a member of the Natural Order cult. Robb never disappoints, and this is a truly good one. Highly recommend this one if you love a strong kick-ass cop.

Maybe getting close to running out of adventures for Eve?
This story started off slow . Got better as it went on, but I get the overall feeling that the author is making Eve seem a little on the boring side. Her gruff personality is sometimes annoying and even with all her years of experience hasn’t improved her demeanor. For someone so gifted at solving crimes, she has trouble being gracious to those close to her. Some levity is fine, but in some personal situations she needs a good slap. I can only hope the stories and Eves sour disposition get better.

The end of a series
This series has always had two components...the story of Eve, Roarke and all of their friends and then there was the crime component-the “case” or police procedural. I loved the portion of the story that let us be part of Eve’s world-the personal. I toggled between interest and boredom on the “case” in each story. This installment really signaled the end for me because the author seems to have run out of meat for Eve, Roarke and their friends and colleagues. I miss Charles and Louise and the house parties and one-off conversations over a glass of wine at some dumpy bar with bad food. This entire book, with the exception of some forced, half-hearted meaningful moments (poor Eve saw herself in the face of the victim, Mavis gets a new house, etc.,) was centered around a far-fetched, overly contrived, and completely unbelievable case. I set the audio book to a speed of 1.7 and desperately wanted to fast forward through the case just to get to something meaningful, but alas, there was nothing of substance. This one could easily be skipped and would not be missed. I really hope this author figures out a way to bring interest back to Eve and Roarke, otherwise this series should gracefully find a way to wrap up. Wait for a library copy-I have read and listened to freebies that surpassed this one by a mile.
But the narrator is my favorite!

YANCY, TIBBLE, SHELBY, HER ENTIRE DEPARTMENT ALONG WITH WHITNEY AND MIRA AND THEN NADINE AFTER ASSI\TING EVE IS ALREADY PLANNING HER NEXT BOOK FROM THE SIDELINES.THE FBI IS HELPFUL ALONG WITH INTERPOL
GREAT NARRATION AS USUAL.
THEN THERE IS THE GREAT LOVE STORY OF ROARKE AND EVE.
OH AND CONGRATES TO MAVIS AND LEONARDO AND PEABODY AND MCNAB.
