About this listen

The brand-new crime thriller from Sunday Times bestselling author, J, D. Robb.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer

On a hot August night, Lt. Eve Dallas is called to a downtown club, where a joint bachelorette party full of love, friendship and laughter has taken a darker turn and ended in a crime scene. One of the brides has been garroted in a private room and lies dead in a pool of blood.

The brutal murder scene was just seconds from the packed dance floor but despite the dozens of people present, useful witnesses prove hard to come by. Someone must know something but no one is talking.

On the surface the two brides had a supportive, tightknit group of friends but when Eve starts to dig below the surface she discovers that everything may not be quite as it seems....©2010 J. D. Robb (P)2024 Hachette Audio UK

Typical Eve & Rourke.

Another cracker from JD Robb AKA Nora Robert’s. She never fails to produce good work. I really enjoy her work.

Disappointing

Well below the usual standard for an Eve Dallas book, where was the excitement, twists and turns I listened to the end but was disappointed.

Below par

I have listened to all of the Eve Dallas stories. Many have been absolutely fabulous, sadly this one isn’t. Where was the usual twist and turns? Where was the complicated plot? The pursuit of the killer was slow and rather dull, and to be honest, I knew who was from the beginning.

JD Robb is turning out a new story every six months. Perhaps she needs to take a bit more time working on a plot lines because I was very disappointed with this book. Sorry.

Consistent

You can rely on this series for providing solid entertainment. This book was a little less entertaining for me than the majority of the others in the series because I like the engagement with the characters and this book had less of that and there was really only the focus on the one crime.
Still worth a listen though and the narration is always excellent.

Quite a good listen

This started off - and stayed - slow, for longer than I expect from an Eve Dallas story, so there just wasn’t the same drive to keep on listening to just one more chapter as usual. But I enjoyed it quite a bit and that’s what matters.

I didn’t think this was one of Susan’s best narrations either - Peabody especially wasn’t as distinctive as usual I thought, but again, I enjoyed it enough.

good performance

Way too much of the book was taken up with characters sitting around having conversations. very little by way of actual plot. very weak motive for the murder and little to no investigation required to unmask the killer, Dallas just bullied him into confessinh which could have been done after 2 or 3 chapters. A weak effort in this series

Awful narration

I love JD Robb, have all of her In Death books in either paperback, hardback or eBook format, and as a huge Audible fan with over 100 titles, I wanted to try this series out in audiobook.
I've never wanted to return any book before but this audiobook is the worst I have tried to listen to.
There is no distinction between characters, making it difficult to understand what's going on.
Roarke is the only one with a distinguishable accent, which is quite honestly the worst, most laughable Irish accent I have ever heard.
It's that bad, I am questioning whether it's AI or not.
I am genuinely shocked that this production has been deemed a good enough standard when there are so many great narrators out there.
