Connections in Death

In Death, Book 48

By: J. D. Robb

Narrated by: Susan Ericksen

When recovering drug addict Lyle Pickering is found dead of an overdose, it looks like a tragic accident. But his sister Rochelle knows better, and so does Lieutenant Eve Dallas. Lyle was murdered, and the evidence points directly to his old street gang.

As Eve and husband Roarke track the killer through the city's dive bars, drug dens and strip joints, another body is discovered. With connections growing between the living and the dead, and the body count on the rise, Eve knows she needs to close this case fast, before the killer's lust for power turns the city's streets into a bloodbath.

Critic reviews

"If you're a crime fiction fan and haven't discovered them yet, welcome to the very best day of your life." (Heat)

"Eve Dallas - tough as nails and still sexy as hell." (Stephen King)

"J.D. Robb's novels are can't-miss pleasures." (Harlan Coben)

Did not disappoint

Loved it, cannot wait for next one. Loved the narrator can listen until book is done.

Connections abound

The title says it all for this foray into the world of Lt Dallas.

Connections abound.

Like many of the Dallas series what should (from the villains POV been an easy "sell" gets overturned because Dallas and company look deeper) .

From the stand point of being part of the In Death series this is a good outing. From the stand point of character growth and development this one hits is out of the park. I admit I read the In Death series as much, if not more so, for the joy of watching Dallas mature, developing connections of her own that deeply root her to her city; connections, rather than her origin story point which was basically single minded copness. Dallas now, is deeply connected to the city because of the people she is connected with.

Another wonderful aspect, showcased very well in this book, is the plethora (in joke here) of other characters that fill the world. In Death remains the story of a full and vivid world with a great many characters who are the top (or near top) in their respective fields who interact to help each other rather than tear each other down. This wold has all the fundamentally people being fundamentally people but many of those people are strong enough to build up other around them. It a jot seeing competent people being competent without the fall back of "miscommunication" which is often the staple of tales within the generalized romance genre.

When do I get the next one? Just asking because I'm like Oliver with this series.... "Can I have some more, please, JD?"

Connections in Death and others

Always enjoy Eve Dallas and her sidekicks, always keeps me guessing, action plans a king and always a joy listening to, working my way they the lot

Of all the In Death series, this one was above average for plot mystery and character development. enjoyable! Thanks to Susan Erickson- I couldn't listen if the narrator changed!
