Publisher's summary

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. That lovingly packed lunch was tainted with deadly ricin. And Mr. Foster's colleagues, shocked as they may be, have some shocking secrets of their own. It's Eve's job to get a feel for all the potential suspects, and find out why someone would have done this to a man who seemed so inoffensive, so pleasant...so innocent.

Now Magdelana Percell - there's someone Eve can picture as a murder victim. Possibly at Eve's own hands. The slinky blonde - an old flame of her billionaire husband, Roarke, from his days on the wrong side of the law - has turned up in New York, and she's anything but innocent.

Unfortunately, Roarke seems blind to Magdelana's manipulation, but not to her shapely figure and flirtatious ways. And he insists that the occasional lunch or business meeting with her is nothing to worry about...and none of Eve's business.

Eve's so unnerved by the situation that she finds it hard to focus on the Foster case. Still, she'll have to put aside her anger, jealousy, and heartbreak, for a while at least - because another man has just turned up dead, and the case is taking some strange turns and hitting some frustrating dead ends.

Eve knows all too well that innocence can be a façade. Keeping that in mind may help her solve this case at last. But it may also tear apart her marriage.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

"Susan Ericksen...delivers powerful secondary characters of both genders and varying ages." ( AudioFile)

Innocent and Chilling

This is one of the books in the series that really sticks with me. Innocent and very chilling at the same time, it is well worth the credit for the audiobook. Ericksen is the voice of the series.

Always one of my fav's for J D Robb

So well-written and that I feel part of the story throughout. Excellent murder plot along with Eve and Roark interaction. Along with one of my favorites for storyline also one of my favorites for Susan Erickson 's unequaled narration.

Really great

this was a very emotional book for me. Started off with a very sad victim and family. I was very engaged with the book entirely.

Roarke!

I wish Eve would be attracted to someone a little and make Roarke seriously worry about his marriage. He’s so smirky about all the women they run into that he’s slept with. He’s just announces he’s going to see his old lover like he’s entitled. I wish Eve would say “I guess we’re seeing other people” and call him on it. That would be a great “In Death” book. Give him back some of his own.

It was no accident

Wow! What an excellent read/listen. Rapid moving story with exciting characters. Complete with road rage traffic outbursts. A strong mix of who done it and privacy issues. Nice twist and turns with a unpredicted outcome. So sweet, so innocent in death.
