About this ebook
The complex world of virtual reality takes on a whole new meaning as Lieutenant Eve Dallas weaves through the underbelly of New York's crime world of the future.
Praise for J. D. Robb:
'J.D. Robb is a fantastic storyteller who knows how to keep the pages flying by' -#1 International Bestselling Author, Karin Slaughter
"One of my all-time favorite authors hitting a golden moment in one of my all-time favorite series. J.D. Robb never disappoints!" Lisa Gardner

He killed himself, Lieutenant. He was hanging there, just hanging there from the ceiling light in the living room. And his face . . . Oh God.'
Death follows New York City cop Eve Dallas everywhere - even on her honeymoon with Irish lover Roarke. When one of Roarke's employees is found dead, the post-mortem confirms suicide. An isolated case, or so Eve thinks.
But more suicides follow - strangers with nothing in common. The pathologist's report states each victim has an unexplained mark on their brain. Is this a genetic abnormality or a high-tech method of murder? With the body count rising, Eve must delve into the world of virtual reality to hunt down a twisted killer. A killer who preys on the minds of the innocent.

I'd actually forgotten how good this 'In Death' series is as I haven't read/listened to one in a while, but I'll definitely be amending this now as I'm only on No.4 and there's 47 - so far! I'm a big Nora Roberts fan anyway, but the J D Robb books are just another string to her bow and different from her other books as they're set in the future. The characters are so good, Eve and Roarke are the main ones of course and just complement each other perfectly. Eve is very independent and has a hard shell because of her (very hard) life when she was young, and of course being a cop, but Roarke (charming, Irish, extremely rich) softens her edges. All the tech stuff is fascinating to me, as I love new technology, but it's not so far out that you feel it's a science fiction book. It's definitely a murder/suspense sort of book, but with amusing moments between the characters too which lighten the subject matter. I love Eve's sidekick, Peabody. She is a really likeable, amusing character and their partnership works so well. This time Eve is just back from her honeymoon with Roarke and her first case back is about suicide/murders. They were staged to be suicides, but she doesn't entirely believe it, and so starts investigating further. It's amazing that this book was published in 2006, as it certainly doesn't have the feel of a 12 year old book, as some older books do when you read them, but I suppose as it's set in the future it misses that feeling. I have to say the narrating is top notch too, absolutely perfect, and 'makes' the story. Really engrossing book with lots going on and never, ever boring. I look forward to reading the rest of this series, now it's back on my radar!

I stumbled across the series when I started readin "Concealed in Death" not realising it was #38 in a series. The book was so good I went back to the beginning & haven't once been disappointed. So far I've loved every single one & I'm going straight onto #5!!. BRILLIANT from start to finish!!!
