Eve has seen this crime scene before: the artfully arranged body of a young brunette, arms spread, palms up, body marked by the signs of prolonged and painful torture. Carved into her torso is the time it took her to die - in hours, minutes, and seconds. And on the third finger of her left hand has been placed a silver ring.

The death of history teacher Craig Foster devastated his young wife, who'd sent him off to work that morning with a lovingly packed lunch. It shocked his colleagues at the Upper West Side private school. And as for the 10-year-old girls who found him in his classroom in a pool of bodily fluids, they may have been traumatized for life. Lieutenant Eve Dallas, of course, is more hardened to murder cases. And this is clearly a murder case.

In a New York City fifty years in the future, Detective Eve Dallas tracks down those who break the law - including the ones sworn to uphold it. Eve Dallas and her partner, Peabody, are following up on a brutal, senseless crime - an elderly grocery owner killed by three stoned punks for nothing more than kicks and snacks. And for the first time, Peabody is primary detective on the case, which means she has to get used to a new level of authority and responsibility. Good thing she learned the ropes from a master like Eve. But after rounding up the perps, Peabody stumbles upon a much trickier situation.

It was one of Eve Dallas’s earliest takedowns, back in her uniform days. A monster named Isaac McQueen had been abducting young victims and leaving them scarred in both mind and body. Thanks to Eve, he wound up where he belonged, removed from civilized society in Rikers. But he’s not behind bars anymore. After his escape, McQueen has two things in mind. One is to take up where he left off, preying on the young and innocent - when necessary, with the help of a female partner all too willing to be manipulated and to aid and abet his crimes.

Her career in homicide has taken her into the darkest depths of New York City’s underground - and sometimes Lieutenant Eve Dallas feels more comfortable in those kinds of places than in the high-rise, high-society world of her billionaire husband, Roarke. But while she’s no party girl, she’s managing to have a reasonably good time at the celebrity-packed bash celebrating the debut of The Icove Agenda. This time it’s Eve, not Roarke, who’s a guest of honor, since the film is based on one of her famous cases. Her partner, Peabody, is practically giddy....

Story5 out of 5 stars 10
It was just another after-work happy-hour bar downtown, where business professionals unwound with a few drinks, complained about the boss, maybe hooked up with someone for the night. Until something went terribly wrong. At first it was just a friction in the air. The noise intensified. The crowd seemed oppressive. Some sharp words were exchanged, some pushing and shoving. Then the madness descended. And after 12 minutes of chaos and violence, 80 people lay dead.

Story5 out of 5 stars 18
For Lieutenant Eve Dallas of the NYPSD, the job is a useful reminder of what she has to be grateful for this season. Hosting Roarke's big Irish family for the holiday may be challenging, but it’s a joyful improvement on her own dark childhood. Other couples aren’t as lucky as Eve and Roarke. The Reinholds, for example, are lying on the floor of their Downing Street apartment, stabbed and bludgeoned almost beyond recognition. Those who knew them are stunned - and even more heartbroken by the overwhelming evidence that they were murdered by their own son.
Publisher's Summary
It doesn't surprise Lieutenant Eve Dallas that Thomas Anders' scandalous death is a source of titillation and speculation for the public - and humiliation for his family. While everyone else in the city is talking about it, those close to Anders aren't so anxious to do so. Fortunately, because Dallas' billionaire husband, Roarke, happens to own the prime real estate where Anders's sporting-goods firm was headquartered, she has some help with access.
Before long, she's knocking on doors - or barging through them - to look for the answers she needs. But the facts don't add up. Physical evidence suggests that the victim didn't struggle. The security breach in the highly fortified apartment indicates that the killer was someone close to Anders, but everyone's alibi checks out, from the wife who was off in the tropics to the loving nephew who stands to inherit millions. Was this a crime of passion - or a carefully planned execution?
It's up to Dallas to solve a sensational case where all involved guard secrets from one another - and strangers may be connected in unexpected and deadly ways.
What the critics say
"Concisely narrated with verve and humor by Susan Ericksen.... Her Irish accent for Roarke is uncannily believable as is the voice of a character who is suffering from a terrible cold. The production is engaging, and Ericksen's verbal nuances add drama to the novel." (AudioFile)

Interesting Story
I dont agree that this was boring. I would say it was too long breaking down the why and how, since Eve already knew the who. I loved getting an update on Charles and Louise and the jokes and banter between the characters alwasy make me laugh out loud as if they are really chating and I am involved. To me these stories are real and easy to get your self wrapped up in. The story was interesing and murderer is easy to dislike from the beggining (very annyoying and mean).
Happy reading. On to Book 27...

Great Series
Its often been said in many reviews that to start at the begiing and just keep going is the way to go. ABSOLUTLY. The background characters and their stories are as much a part of this series as the actual gruesome deaths and although each book can each be listened to individually to get the most out of it I feel you need the whole lot. Excellant narration, geat job Susan even though you did have a hiccup with Peabody at one stage. Only 2 to go and I have caught up here's hoping J D Robb has another about to go.

Excellent series
I picked this series up at about book 5 and it didn't take long to get me hooked. I have read many police procedural book series and this series ranks up there with the best of them. Sometimes it's kind of hard to understand some of the futuristic technology, but what sci-fi/futuristic type novel isn't nowadays? It is full of Nora Roberts' trademark steamy romance scenes and humor, but that only adds to the drama and intrigue of this series. Eve Dallas and her partner Roarke make an excellent pair in solving the many mysterious and action-packed cases they encounter. There is also lots of memorable characters as well. I never miss a book. There is not a bad book in this series. I say sit back, relax, and enjoy one of the best narrators in the business take you through a police adventure that will have you wanting more once it ends. And there are a lot of books to enjoy in this series. Read them all. You will not be able to get enough!!!

Binge listen
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Years ago I got hooked on Eve Dallas' personality and the characters she deals with while on the job in 2060 New York. Then I put the series away and went on to listen to others. On a whim, I started again at book one and have gone straight thru to book 40. Wonderful summer escape. Susan Erickson IS Eve Dallas. She has infused each character with a distinctive voice and personality. I hope there is another 40 books and my friend Eve is forever.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Peabody. Yes, Eve Dallas is a wonderful, flawed personality, but Peabody is a joy. She is always good for a laugh.

Why aren't more audio books read like this?
Any additional comments?
Susan Ericksen is an exceptional performer! Her voices throughout this series are consistent, it is such a joy listening to them. You really a find yourself lost in each story and as soon as one book is finished I can't wait to start the next. I wish more audio books would be performed as this. However good some narrators are I still find its hard to distinguish one character from the next in audio, but not with Susan. You won't be disappointed, but start the series from the beginning.

Another home run in the Eve Dallas series
If you could sum up Strangers in Death in three words, what would they be?
No I won't
What did you like best about this story?
I thoroughly enjoyed the story arc, the villain and of course the consistently excellent elements of the series: the witty banter and relationship development of our Merry Cast of Regulars. And of course there's the steam. Not that I noticed. I've also mentioned before that I'm thinking we are beginning to get more peeks into Rourke's thoughts and those of the other characters. Either I just didn't notice it before (entirely possible) or it's a minor tweak in the usual narrative. I choose to think I've noticed a subtle nuance in the evolution of the series. So there.
What about Susan Ericksen’s performance did you like?
Everything. The characters are clearly defined, we always know who is speaking. I cannot imagine anyone else being able to capture Dallas, Rourke, Peabody, McNab, Feeney, Dr. Mira and the rest of the Wacky Gang in the simply outstanding way Susan Ericksen gives them voice. She rocks.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It's almost that good, but no. Frankly, there have only been one or two books I've ever encountered that fall in that category and this is not one of them. But that doesn't mean this isn't one of my favorite series of all time. It's still outstanding. Just not bleary-eyed, marathon, binge-listen worthy.
Any additional comments?
I'm a Libra. I like mystery and procedural cop novels - and anything else that makes me chuckle. In the literary sense. Get your mind out of the gutter. Sheesh.

Another great listen "in death"
This is a great series. Can't believe I'm already on book 26 in the series.
Lt. Eve Dallas has her work cut out for her with all the crazy homicides she encounters in this series. Each story follows several core characters while introducing new murder victims and killers. Can't get enough and hope new ones come out before I get to the end of the series.

As usual another excellent JD ROBB book!!
When Lt. Eve Dallas is sent to the scene of a very sexual murder case. She is positive that the wife did it she just has to figure how she did it. In the meantime Baxter has a murder that has gone cold and it didn't follow the same pattern as hers but eventually Eve figures out that they are connected.
I loved getting an update on Charles and Louise and that Charles finally see the light and quits being a LLC, changes his profession and asks Louise to marry him.
