Summary

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....

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.

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.

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.

Awful Woke Progressive Propaganda

I’ve read over 50 In Death books and JD Robb (Nora Roberts) has always found a nice balance of different characters with different backgrounds, races, and orientations, and she’s done it really well. Always kind and respectful. Never preachy. However, this book reads like she not only hired woke progressive narrative consultants, but it sounds like she let them write the entire last third of the book. She doesn’t just push racist white hate, misandristic, anti-American, anti-traditional, divisive, trite, woke, talking points, but she repeats them over and over again to the point that the story and characters become vague afterthoughts to the hard, alt-left, progressive propaganda she unrelentingly shoves down your throat.
The closer you get to the end the more the characters start talking and acting in odd, one dimensional, uncharacteristic ways. They become hollow shells that have no purpose other than to carry the aggressively political messaging.

Unless you love hateful, western nihilistic propaganda keep your memories and attachments to this series and its characters intact and stay away from this book.
