Framed in Death

By: J. D. Robb

Narrated by: Susan Ericksen

Death imitates art in the brand-new crime thriller starring homicide cop Eve Dallas from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author J.D. Robb.

Manhattan is filled with galleries and deep-pocketed collectors who can make an artist's career with a wave of a hand. But one man toils in obscurity, his brilliance unrecognized while lesser talents bask in the glory he believes should be his. Come tomorrow, he vows, the city will be buzzing about his work.

Indeed, before dawn, Lt. Eve Dallas is speeding toward the home of the two gallery owners whose doorway has been turned into a horrifying crime scene overnight. A lifeless young woman has been elaborately costumed and precisely posed to resemble the model of a long-ago Dutch master, and Dallas plunges into her investigation.

"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.

Critic reviews

"Another enticing mix of propulsive pacing, an enthralling story line and one of literature's most compelling couples." —Booklist

"This is a fast-paced thriller balanced with familiar characters Robb’s fans have come to love. The crime narrative is artfully crafted and perfect for mystery genre readers familiar with the series or discovering it for the first time." —Library Journal

One of the BEST in the last few years!!

Love all of them but honestly there are a few that do not hit the mark. Dallas is a strong honest loyal woman that’s opened herself up to love, friends and so much more.

One of the better if not the Best of the Series.

I have listened to all the books in the series, many of them more than once. This particular story unfolds in its typical formulaic manner. That is, first there is the murder(s), next the hunt for the murderer, identification of the murderer, and finally the take down of the murderer. In many of the take down sequences in the previous books, the squad seems to become like "The Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight." But not this time. The squad worked like well-oiled machine, which was refreshing. And the twist at the end was inspired. Throughout the 61-book series Nora leaves what I call Easter eggs. These are things like planed events, Peabody's detective exam, the astounding quality of Roark's coffee, and the remodel of Mavis's and Peabody's homes, to mention a few. Lots of nice easter eggs in book 61. And, finally and gratefully, no discussion of Eve childhood trauma issues.

J D Robb delivers again

J D Robb continues to write a "Can't stop listening" stories about Dallas and Roarke and the murders they solve.
The Mavis and Leonard house project is offically done. Enjoyed ever minute for listening to audible version.

Love it

Mmmm Good!

As long as these are written I’ll be listening. This episode was so good. Developed characters, a heinous crime, attitude and all of the characters you know and love. So keep reading…you will not be disappointed!
