Description
Lieutenant Eve Dallas returns in Dark in Death, by J.D. Robb, the #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense, and takes on a case of death imitating art…
It was a stab in the dark.
On a chilly February night, during a screening of Psycho in midtown, someone sunk an ice pick into the back of Chanel Rylan’s neck, then disappeared quietly into the crowds of drunks and tourists in Times Square. To Chanel’s best friend, who had just slipped out of the theater for a moment to take a call, it felt as unreal as the ancient black-and-white movie up on the screen. But Chanel’s blood ran red, and her death was anything but fictional.
Then, as Eve Dallas puzzles over a homicide that seems carefully planned and yet oddly personal, she receives a tip from an unexpected source: an author of police thrillers who recognizes the crime—from the pages of her own book. Dallas doesn’t think it’s coincidence, since a recent strangulation of a sex worker resembles a scene from her writing as well. Cops look for patterns of behavior: similar weapons, similar MOs. But this killer seems to find inspiration in someone else’s imagination, and if the theory holds, this may be only the second of a long-running series.
The good news is that Eve and her billionaire husband Roarke have an excuse to curl up in front of the fireplace with their cat, Galahad, reading mystery stories for research. The bad news is that time is running out before the next victim plays an unwitting role in a murderer’s deranged private drama—and only Eve can put a stop to a creative impulse gone horribly, destructively wrong.
From the author of Echoes in Death, this is the latest of the edgy, phenomenally popular police procedurals that Publishers Weekly calls “inventive, entertaining, and clever.”
Reviews
Dark in Desth
1By LstairsIf you like random sex scenes, a writer paid by the word, a completely unbelievable character, and unending discussions of what a woman is wearing, you will like this book. Perhaps my dislike of this book is just because I am male and someone with a female perspective would love it but I think good writing should be gender neutral.She does it again
5By MrsBankyjD Robb entrances me yet again. Another one that’s hard to put downDark in Death
4By Niecey62I love all of the “in death” series. I loved that the plot revolves around a plot of a book and involved a female killer. However, In comparison to the other books in the series, I feel the ending left me wanting more interaction between Eve and her husband beyond the solving of the case & the apprehension of killer.So awful
1By SilverporscheShe used the word, drek, to describe one author’s work. That is too kind for this book.As always an incredibly good read!
5By Rjay1023I can’t get enough of Dallas and Rourke! Excellent plot if you love Lt. Dallas, Peabody, Mcnab and of course Rourke you will not be disappointed. JD Robb just can’t write fast enough for me . Already looking forward to the next book.Dark in Death
5By Au reAlways a pure joy to read J D Robb...already looking forward to the next book.Dark in death
1By CgpcpaSlowest book I’ve ever endured!Done, finally!
1By melodyveUgh. Really- This is on the best seller’s list?! I drug myself to the end.Ok
4By Shoegal00It was okDark in Death - Excellent
5By MSYGIRLI’ve read all the books in this series and they are all unbelievably nail biting and heart wrenching at times. This book was well written and kept me interested from beginning to end. I do wish the author would shake it up a bit. In every book a murder - the investigation - husband gets involved - and the other characters are thrown in. Can’t wait for the next.Good circa 2026 Mystery
4By LakewacoGood murder mystery with good tracking tactics. Lieutenant officer married to super rich husband with circa 2026 technology items at home, office, and cars. Pretty cool.Good as always
4By DomeDr.Dark in Death is a good book, but not my favorite of the series. There’s always room for more sex, more gruesome details and more mystery. It wasn’t the heart-racing page-turner like many of the others in the series, but still kept me guessing. Nonetheless, this is my favorite book series of all time! Keep them coming!A subtle notation
5By The Brain MomLove the underlying themes and messages written in this book along with a simplistic plot...interesting twists. Love the continued development of the depth of character also. An author who writes death..Dark in Death
5By Christy74441Fantastic story line! I love any time I get to spend with Eve and Roarke! Can’t wait for the next one.Dark in Death
5By peanut/bonnieI have read all of the series and love them all. I especially love her interactions with the other characters.Good read!
4By SuSu-AshevilleThis was another good story by JD Robb. This book focused a little more than usual on the amazing loving relationship between Eve and Roarke. Very nice to read. In many of the IN DEATH books, the story focuses mostly on the case. Readers received both this time. Always enjoy these books. If you are new to JD Robb, start with Book One. The development of the characters and their relationships with one another adds another great dimension to her books. Enjoy!BBC you you
