Publisher's Summary

In the latest thriller in the number-one New York Times best-selling series, homicide detective Eve Dallas investigates a murder with a mysterious motive - and a terrifying weapon.

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 - though he did ruffle some feathers over the years by taking stands for the weak and defenseless.

While the lab tries to identify the deadly toxin, Eve hunts for the sender. But when someone else dies in the same grisly manner, it becomes clear that she’s dealing with either a madman - or someone who has a hidden and elusive connection to both victims.

Can't stand the narrator!

The narrator is so awful with some voices especially Peabody! I also hate how she pronounces it Peabuddy instead of Peabody. I love this series but I think I'll stick to just reading them myself.

Highly entertaining as always

Another great story from J.D. Robb. Susan Ericksen is an outstanding reader and she makes the characters sound like what's in my mind when I read the print versions, She is the reason I took out the subscription to Audible, never disappointing.

In death series

I love all 50 in death novels by R.D. Rob. the narrator for most of the series is amazing and really adds to the stories. This novel wasn't as good as most of them but After 50 books it must be getting difficult for ideas. It is worth having a listen.

An average detective story

No clue why this is at the top of the best seller list, it's a perfectly mediocre crime story.

My biggest gripe with this title is the narrator though. She sounds extremely stiff and forced. Maybe it's just me, but I pick up a lot of misplaced emotion in the narration that doesn't fit the story at all. A very sort of tight and stiff reading that at times sounds condescending, disinterested, angry when there's no need to be angry. Absolutely not my cup of tea. Didn't enjoy it.

Another great plot

As always great story line. I didn’t care for the voice portrayal of Peabody but aside from that good all around.

Always entrancing.

Susan Erickson is the best narrator of all that I have listened to! J. D. Robb's series keeps me interested all of the way through.
