Description

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…

  • Eve is the coolest cop

    Eve is so cool, the way she plods through all the evidence to get the culprit. What makes her better than cool is the people she has around her, and the fact that she stands for the victim until the case is resolved. And having Roarke at her side and back certainly makes her special. I have never read an “in death” book I didn’t thoroughly enjoy.

    It wasn’t a page turner. Still like all the characters but somehow they are not evolving.
  • Just ok. Definitely not a page turner

    I’ve been a fan of the In Death series for more than 20 years. As time has gone by I’m starting to wonder if Nora Roberts is writing this series anymore. The characters have become stagnant. This particular story was weighed down with mundane details and procedural specifics. The interaction between Roark and Eve has become short and repetitive, almost dull. At the end of the day I’m still a fan, but might not continue this series if the over all story line doesn’t improve.
  • Flow of the storyline dragged

    There were some syntax errors (used Shauna when Erin was meant) and the flow was very stilted in the book. There was quite a bit of repetition in the plot that seems absent in the other books of the series. I love the series and will re read them, but this one was really poorly done.
  • Not the best….

    Started out good and then went downhill. I had to force myself to finish. Very predictable.

  • 77% boring, 100% repetitive

    I was tempted to stop reading several times, but wanted to see how bad it could get. Eve repeats the same thing to the same people throughout the book, and nothing happens for 3/4 of it. I also wonder what the whole “futuristic” time placement adds to this series. The ‘link is a cell phone, the “tube” is a can, the flying cars don’t do anything to add to the story. Just useless gimmicks. I had read a few of these books, but I’m done now with the “in death” series. You should save your money too

    It was ok. Kind of dragged on some. I’ve read better from this series.
