Publisher's Summary

Eve Dallas is one tough cop. She's got no problem dealing with a holiday reveler in a red suit who plunges 37 stories and gives new meaning to the term "sidewalk Santa". But when she gets back to the station and Trudy Lombard shows up, it's all Eve can do to hold it together.

Instantly, she's plunged back into the past, to the days when she was a vulnerable, traumatized girl - trapped in foster care with the twisted woman who now sits in front of her, smiling.

Trudy claims she just wanted to see how Eve was doing. But Eve's husband, Roarke, suspects otherwise - and his suspicions prove correct when Trudy arrives at his office demanding money in exchange for keeping the ugly details of his wife's childhood a secret. Barely restraining himself, Roarke shows her the door - and makes it clear that she'd be wise to get out of New York and never bother him or his wife again.

But just a few days later, Trudy's found on the floor of her hotel room, a mess of bruises and blood.

A cop to the core, Eve is determined to solve the case, if only for the sake of Trudy's bereaved son. Unfortunately, Eve is not the only one to have suffered at this woman's hands, and she and Roarke will follow a circuitous, dangerous path to find out who turned this victimizer into a victim.

enjoyable

I always enjoy this book. I seem to read it always in the summer. I love the way Eve and Roarke banter over Christmas presents.

#Audible1

jd robb's in death series has been a pleasure to follow. not only are the crimes well thought out and a mystery to solve as I listen; Susan Erickson brings each character to life with a commitment that is consistently entertaining. in memory in death, eve Dallas comes face to face with the serious side story of her past as an abused child. this has been evolving in the stories incredibly in depth and well plotted so that we see her struggle to be a good person despite it and a better cop. 5 stars!

A step down from other entries in the series

The story and case are a noticable step down from other entires in the series. I won't give details, so as to not spil the plot, but it's just not as good as other books.

Overall, the book is fine if you want to give it a try, and the performance is good as usual
