About this listen

"Narrator Susan Ericksen's performance vibrates with energy, as she portrays old and new characters in this series."—AudioFile on Desperation in Death, an Earphones Award winner.

Homicide Detective Eve Dallas hunts a killer who turns a wedding party into a murder scene in the next novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling author, J.D. Robb, Passions in Death.

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 who once suffered an assault in the very same room—but she’d been able to fight back and survive. She’d gotten justice. And now she needs to provide some for poor young Erin.

Eve knows that the level of violence and the apparent premeditation involved suggest a volatile mix of hidden, heated passion and ice-cold calculation. This is a crime that can be countered only by hard detective work and relentless dedication—and Eve will not stop until she finds the killer who destroyed this couple’s dreams before the honeymoon even began....

Critic reviews

"Puts the “procedure” rewardingly back into the police procedural."—Kirkus

"With the fifty-eighth irresistibly readable entry in the ever-popular Eve Dallas series, Robb (Payback in Death, 2023) continues to showcase her mastery when it comes to creating inventive plots generously spiked with nail-biting suspense and populated with compelling characters, including Eve, who never stops working to bring justice to the victims in every murder case she investigates."—Booklist

Not a very compelling mystery :(

As usual I’ve waited anxiously for the this next “In Death” story and I was so excited when it finally arrived but……
The narrator, Susan Erickson, was amazing as usual, and it was great hearing about all my favorite characters (kind of, in the shortest briefest way possible)…… it was just a dragging boring story line.
This wasn’t one of J.D.’s (Nora’s) better tales.
It was great that she incorporated a lesbian couple and touched, ever so lightly, on a trans woman but the story was just so lackluster.
The O.G. Characters seemed like an afterthought as did the whole actual story.
I KNOW J.D. (Nora) can do SOOOOO much better and I’ve read so many examples of her better tales!! Maybe she had a lot going on and her publisher demanded something??
It just seemed like this was the same crime Dallas’ detectives solved at the beginning of the book, so why give us the same story drawn out?
I was glad she released a book but it could have easily been a crime tucked into an ACTUAL J.D. Robb “In Death” book or a short story.
It’s a lot of money to buy books (or credits on Audible) and this one just wasn’t worth it.
Fingers crossed for the next one. (Looks like I’ll hit the library for the next book just in case….. :(

Love Eve but not this story

I have all of Eve Dallas books and this is the first one that disappointed me. None of the usual characters were in this one except for a brief chapter. Hopefully the next one will be filled with all of the characters we’re used to. Great writing just not my kind of storyline

I really like Eve and Works personalities. Would love to live in that fantasy world.

I really like JD Rob and I've enjoyed all of her eve Dallas books, but they are getting very formulaic. It's always a surprise to know "who done it" but the rest of the storylines are getting much too familiar.

Amazing

Magnificent as usual. The intrigue and heart, some joking and some sadness. The good guys prevail and the bad guys are locked up as it should be. Always a good read from J.D.

Passionate about In Death series

Lieutenant Dallas, Eve is, as ever, Passionate about catching her killer, plots and all. I love seeing her characters come to life and continue to grow and evolve, yet still hold true to their core, as little sideline stories, while the bulk holds our minds riddling out the case with Dallas!
I’m so grateful Nora continues to write this series and with the JD Robb pen name. Her gripping style of character development, humor, plots and twists are superb. The tidbits of real world issues in futuristic spins and detailed storytelling are always gripping and have me wishing for more! She’s a master and In Death series is her absolute best works, in my humble opinion.
I can hardly wait for the next installment!
