Publisher's Summary

Lieutenant Eve Dallas struggles with the end - and the beginning - of life in this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series.

Just as Eve Dallas begins to investigate the grisly double homicide of two young lovers - both employees of the same prestigious accounting firm - her friend Mavis need a favor. One of the moms-to-be in Mavis’s birthing class has gone missing. Normally, such a case would be turned over to Missing Persons. But Mavis wants no one else on the job - and Eve can’t say no.

Now Eve’s trying to track down the missing woman, while simultaneously unearthing the deals and double-crosses hidden in the files of some of the city’s richest and most secretive citizens, in a race against this particularly vicious killer. Luckily, her multimillionaire husband Roarke’s expertise comes in handy with the number crunching. But as he mines the crucial data that will break the case wide open, Eve faces an all too real danger in the world of flesh and blood.

Another Good Story

I enjoyed this story as it had a much lighter tone to it than the other's. Mavis went into labor and with Eve beung her birthing coach alobg with Roake broght a welcome tone showing that Eve Dallas does have a soft, gooey side to her personality. The story was good and so was the narration.

Passed on this one

I'm not a fan of this one, I just couldn't get into it

Further, the audio quality of this book is poor and inferior to the other In Death books.. why? And how did this get past quality control? I actually find the audio quality in this group of books (#~17-23) to be inferior..

Not the best story

Still okay, but subpar compared to the rest of the catalog. The sound quality on this one was terrible!

Book was better

I wanted to try an audio and since I love this series, why not? I was expecting a different voice for each character and was disappointed that not much oomph went into it. Especially Roake. I will keep trying these though :-) I got a laugh at Peabody's voice over
