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 The clothes, decades out of date.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.

Story
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?

Story
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.

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.

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.

Once they are in her grasp, they are powerless. The first victim is wealthy businessman Nigel McEnroy. His company’s human resources department has already paid out settlements to a couple of his young victims - but they don’t know that his crimes go far beyond workplace harassment. Lady Justice knows. And in one shocking night of brutality, she makes him pay a much steeper price.

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.

It was a glittering event full of A-listers, hosted by Eliza Lane and Brant Fitzhugh, a celebrity couple who’d conquered both Hollywood and Broadway. And now Eve Dallas has made her entrance—but not as a guest. After raising a toast, Fitzhugh fell to the floor and died, with physical symptoms pointing to cyanide, and the police have crashed the party. From all accounts, he wasn’t the kind of star who made enemies. Everyone loved him—even his ex-wife. And since the champagne cocktail that killed him was originally intended for Eliza, it’s possible she was the real target.

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.

But when Eve and her partner, Peabody, find blood inside the building, the lieutenant knows Marta’s murder was the work of a killer who’s trained, but not professional or smart enough to remove all the evidence.

Publisher's Summary
In the latest novel in the number one New York Times best-selling series, homicide detective Eve Dallas sifts through the wreckage of the past to find a killer.
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. She isn’t happy when she realizes that the scene of the crime belongs to her husband, Roarke - not that it should surprise her, since the Irish billionaire owns a good chunk of New York. Now Eve must enter a complex world of real estate development, family history, shady deals, and shocking secrets to find justice for two women whose lives were thrown away....

Better than ever
Sure the stories are awesome. This one breaks out of the typical mold the In Death series takes in subtle and enjoyable ways. But the voice acting and production was engaging and flawless. In earlier productions, you could easily make out redos and patches to mask mistakes. There were none here. But the acting by S. Erickson was brutally emotional and sucks you into that world we love. How she keeps the characters separate I’ll never know. Even characters we haven’t heard of in a while; you perk up as you think - hey that’s [enter name here]. It’s marvellous! Thank you for that.

good book, voices not what I expected.
Story is as expected, good if you r a follower of Dallas and Roarke.
my first audible book, I found the voices very unlike my expectations of the characters. I had also expected Eve to speak in a lower register more authoritative, she expects her authority to be acknowledged and respected. Roakes voice should be softer and sexier. Peabody (Peabuddy?) sounded childish, ok in the early novels, but she is older now not as giddy. Excitable yes, but tempered. Because of that, it was a jarring experience, difficult to listen to. i think I'll read this series from now on.

A solid addition but…
I have read the In Death series since it’s first release, and have always enjoyed them. But I just have such a hard time with the narration of them. Nothing against the narrator herself, but it just doesn’t match up with Dallas or Peabody.
They are both young women, and the narrator sounds like a 50 year old woman. It doesn’t jive with the feel of them. The authors quirky way of presenting how these characters speak and react in a future New York, when narrated, makes it a little cringy. Like your mom trying to be cool. And not succeeding.
Otherwise, I liked this story. Even with the missing characters we are so used to having in every book.

Narrator
The storyline was fairly good but I didn’t enjoy Susan Ericksen’s narration. I remember how much I didn’t enjoy her from past audibles in the Death series and from now on will only read JD Robb’s books. Eve and Rourke are the only characters who sounded normal and interesting. Most other characters sounded too loud and harsh due to Ericksen’s constant over-emphasizing every second word. I especially didn’t enjoy her rendition of Peabody. She has made Peabody,as in past audibles, sound slow and unintelligent and really not suitable to be as quick and clever as she should be considering her position.
Very disappointing since I really enjoy the Death series and hoped for a better outcome.

Forgotten in Death
Nobody stays forgotten once they come to Eve Dallas’ attention. A homeless lady and a pregnant student are found fairly near each other. Construction magnates’ families are implicated. Eve and Roark are front and centre in this mystery with APA Rio in a supporting role. Susan Erickson is an essential part of the series as she ties the books together with her voice. But if you have listened to or read this 53rd book, you won’t have to be persuaded. No doubt you pre-ordered it.

Meeehhh
I have all of the In Death series and quite like most of them, but it seems like they're getting progressively weaker. Filling pages with old words and phrases and less new content.
This book spent more time on "I'm reading The Red Horse book", " I remember you from the Icove vid", and references to when Eve was a child and not enough spent on developing a plot...., every, single chapter has at least two-three paragraphs going back to those. It got old real quick.

My last In Death book?
I can’t tell you much about this book because I didn’t get lost in the story. Instead, with every chapter, I was thinking ‘oh here we go again’ because it was so much like every other book in the series.
I’m tired of Eve Dallas (and Roarke, Peabody, McNab, Mavis). I’m tired of how every case triggers her, then we get a recap of how bad her childhood was, of Roarke being so unrealistic (what *isn’t* he an expert in?!), of the Roarke/Eve relationship where he puts in 90% of the effort while she barely contributes to the marriage, of how Eve is the only capable cop and all the others are inept, of how she treats Summerset (and everyone else not named Roarke!) i could go on and on. I’m just tired of it all.

Not her usual…
Not sure what happened with this book as it lacks the energy, character relationships and suspense as her previous stories in the series. The first 5 chapters were painfully slow and I lost interest so often I had to rewind the audio to try to listen to what I missed. I love Susan Erickson’s narrations, but she must have also been bored as her performance is not the superior quality as other books. I’ve enjoyed the various voices she’s given to the characters, but here, there was little distinction between them and sometimes I had a hard time determining who was “speaking”. I was not convinced that Susan was the narrator until I looked at the credits to confirm. Hope the next book has the energetic, fun story and the familiar narration as I’ve enjoyed in the past books.

Ugh. Should have read the negative reviews.
I gave this one a good try but returned it. I've listened to a number of these books and enjoy them as the shallow fun they are - the crimes are usually over the top but interesting, and the supporting characters are far better developed and more likeable than the main. This one is Dallas at her most childish and annoying, and there's far too much of her and not enough of the likeable supporting characters. I'm done with all her whining and bitching, and with a grown woman who thinks vegetables are yucky and calls cosmetics, "gunk" and "stuff," like she's a little boy in a 50's sitcom. I'll never understand what Roarke is supposed to see in her, and that relationship is particularly out of balance in this one. And speaking of unbalanced, she manages to tie every case to her childhood trauma, even when it has to be forced in and doesn't fit with the rest of the story. And the dreams!? Come ON, again?? I gave up - the crimes in this one are tedious, and there's far, far too much Eve and her very annoying issues.

So disappointed, after all these years
I’ve enjoyed reading/listening to all the In Death books. But, past few years I have been less excited when a new one came out. Stories are stale, the crime situations are tweaked but characters and storylines pretty much the same. Eve & Roarke, what happened?

BETTER EVERY TIME
Everytime a new Dallas story comes out, I think it can't be better but it is! This one was GREAT - almost multiple stories in one! And Susan Erickson does a fantastic job as always. She always makes it easy to follow who is speaking!

JD Robb NAILS IT AGAIN!!!
As always, Nora Roberts , (coupled with Susan Erickson) bring to life my FAVORITE character(s)…on or off planet! Eve reaches new “depths” in this brilliantly written #53! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love love LOVE In Death Series!!!!

Most boring story in the series
This is one of my favorite series to listen to so I’m sad that this one was so boring. There was no humor, no heart, the bad guys were cliche and boring. The plot was predictable and cookie cutter which I’m kind of ok with in this series but this had absolutely nothing else to it. I don’t understand what happened with this one!
