Lieutenant Eve Dallas, homicide cop in the New York central division and wife to Irish billionaire Roarke, mostly reformed criminal and electronic and financial wizard is on the case again. Dallas is the primary on a series of linked date rapes that end in murder. There are differences that are muddying the case and though the first murder seemed accidental, each subsequent murder is premeditated. Young girls are being groomed in online dating forums with romantic poetry and gestures. When they meet up with the man of their dreams they are fed a cocktail of prohibitively expensive date rape drugs in lethal doses, it's a race against time to establish which innocent young girl will be the next target.

Eve must use all her skills and resources to uncover the leads and go undercover to trap a suspect. Enlisting the help of Dr. Louise Dimatto, angel doctor to the disenfranchised and Charles Monroe, high-class licensed companion (legal prostitute). (view spoiler)

As usual, Eve is ably assisted by her faithful aide Officer Peabody, her mentor, former partner and father figure, Captain Feeney of E division, his best E-man Detective McNab and top psychologist Dr Mira is on hand to help Eve formulate a profile, or should that be profiles? Meanwhile, ace reporter Nadine First is hot on the story and hounding Eve for a comment, while Roarke lends a hand/meddles in the case as he sees fit, much to the bafflement and consternation of his wife Eve.

Another great instalment in J.D. Robb's In Death Series, which focuses on the cases of complicated and damaged homicide cop Eve Dallas. Although a standalone story focusing on a particular homicide case, the novel picks up the timeline from the previous novels in the series and you'll miss key character events and developments if you skip the previous novels.

I listened to this novel on unabridged, audible audio. The narration by Susan Ericksen is top class, she does a great Irish accent and her tone for male and female characters is well developed, with great individual and recognisable character voices. It's great to have a consistent and talented narrator through the whole series of over 50 titles to date! ...more

6/18/16 - 6/22/16 - 5 stars - #13 in the In Death series. I listened (as usual) on audio and enjoyed (as always) Susan Ericksen's narration. She's amazing, and I fully believe that she enhances my enjoyment of this series.

This case in another tough one for Eve because of her history, although she doesn't get too bogged down in it this time. But it's a sexual predator case, and it was so sad and brutal to hear about all the young people's lives wasted. It seems that Eve gets on the trail fairly q ...more

I enjoyed this instalment. I love the chemistry between Rourke and Eve and the tension between Peabody and McNab was also fun to read. As usual the mystery was clever, intriguing and compelling and the characters complex and interesting. There is something about this seres that makes me just want to pick up the next instalment as soon as I finish reading the previous one and I really had to stop myself from starting the next instalment Reunion in Death right away to read as i have to read some o ...more

I love this series, I can't get enough of Eve and Roarke. In this installment Eve is tracking down a pair of murderers who date rape their victums to death with a combination of very expensive, rare and undetectable drugs called Whore and Rabbit. Throughout the book, Eve is battling her own issues while being reminded of her own rape and childhood of abuse. Normally I listen to these books on audio but this time I read it and enjoyed it more. I took my time reading through the action scenes and ...more

Another great installment in this series. It is fascinating to see the growth Eve has gone through as both a cop and a woman. She is really getting the hang of the married thing and it is a delight to see!
