On a hot August night, Lt. Eve Dallas and her husband, Roarke, speed through the streets of Manhattan to the Down and Dirty club, where a joyful, boisterous pre-wedding girls’ night out has turned into a murder scene. One of the brides lies in a pool of blood, garroted in a private room where she was preparing a surprise for her fiancée—two scrimped and saved-for tickets to Hawaii. Despite the dozens of people present, useful witnesses are hard to come by. It all brings back some bad memories for Eve.

No stakes, no worry, no hurry
Revisado: 09-16-24
Unlike most of the other books in this excellent series, this story was mostly dialogue, rumination, and repetition. Usually there is the risk that the murderer will hit again or that someone else will be in danger— or that Eve or Peabody themselves are in danger. But in this story there is no rising tension, no stakes. There is no worry that anyone else is going to get hurt, so there is no pressure to close the case.
The only conflicts are the ones that Eve and Peabody are trying to dream up in their heads. Even the suspect interviews are cordial.
The result is a flat story arc, flat dialogue, and flat characters.
Nora Roberts should be commended on having written so many intricate, engrossing stories in this series as well as in all her other series.
Can it be that the Eve Dallas series is ready to be put to bed? If so, I hope Roberts’s publisher will give her plenty of time so she can write a great final case, get Peabody andMcNab married, and wind this series up with the polish it deserves.

Fun, engrossing, addictive.

Loved the story, the characters, the narrator. The story was tight, beautifully crafted, and moved briskly without a gram of flab. Nice work! Gotta go now. Book Two is waiting.

When Clive, anxious to distract a depressed Henrietta, begs Sergeant Frank Davis for a case, he is assigned to investigating a seemingly boring affair: a spiritualist woman operating in an abandoned schoolhouse on the edge of town who is suspected of robbing people of their valuables. What begins as an open-and-shut case becomes more complicated, however, when Henrietta, much to Clive’s dismay, begins to believe the spiritualist's strange ramblings.

Perfect voice for this intriguing story
Revisado: 04-08-21
As the story opens, Jayne Entwistle’s voice and restraint invite the listener to savor the story itself as a mystery reveals itself and lives begin to unfurl. The narrator’s diction is perfectly matched to the story’s, and each character’s voice brings forth both image and personality.
A lovely story, beautifully told.

Evocative performance of an immersive story
Revisado: 04-08-21
Dead Air is an engrossing story so well performed that from the first scene I was hooked. Narrator Rachel Fulginiti is a pro who brings Bradley’s story to life.
