Description
Lieutenant Eve Dallas uncovers a conspiracy when she investigates the murders of some of New York City's troubled youth in this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series.
Leading the demolition of a long-empty New York building that once housed a makeshift shelter for troubled teenagers, Lieutenant Eve Dallas’s husband uncovers two skeletons wrapped in plastic. And by the time Eve’s done with the crime scene, there are twelve murders to be solved.
The victims are all young girls. A tattooed tough girl who dealt in illegal drugs. The runaway daughter of a pair of well-to-do doctors. They all had their stories. And they all lost their chance for a better life.
Then Eve discovers a connection between the victims and someone she knows. And she grows even more determined to reveal the secrets of the place that was called The Sanctuary—and the evil concealed in one human heart.

5By RHb girlExcellent and surprisingly excitingAnother great book
5By Ggranny6I have read every one of these books in this series. This one is not a disappointment. Same strong characters, story line etc. Looking forward to the next one. Recommend highly. Each book stands alone but the series is also connected.Outstanding.
5By RescuedragonIf you are looking for excellence in crime and mystery, Nora Roberts is the best. Her attention to detail, from a snow flake on a warm hat, to the persona of her characters is outstanding. She keeps you guessing until the very end.Awesome read
5By SajiiI have read every book in the series, obviously, but I seriously think this was the best of the lot, and that's saying something as they are all really good.JD rocks
5By texasluvs9Another top-notch book about my favorite detective. Lieut. Dallas rocks! I love the way that Ms. Roberts makes her characters so sympathetic when you finish a book you really feel like you know every single one of them.Sickeningly mawkish
1By CentralCALadyThe plot invites but does not require the smarmy, sickening portrayals especially of the Peabody character. She has to go! Worthless, gushing, ignorant cow. And Dennis the Dumb is just nauseating. Too much Roarke mooing at Eve to continue the bovine metaphor. I hated reading this trash. If the author wants to switch to sickening, cloying romance writing let her at least be honest about it and end this pathetic series.Boring
1By ddskinsfanDid not finish reading, no suspense.ho...ly. Cooooowwww it's slow!!!

5By Chef CarriBest one yet!!!Concealed in Death, 2014
3By traveler-elleI've read all the Dalas books, have been a fan for he past 3 years. I loved the book about their vacation to Ireland. I believe that the books are popular because of the personal story about one or more of the characters that is woven into the book, that seemed to be missing in this story.Concealed in Death
5By Dr GrantJust love the JD Robb "in Death" stories. Once I start I seriously can't put it down. She doesn't write new stories fast enough!!! Please hurry with the next book!!!! If you haven't read any of these books yet, I would strongly suggest you start with the first and go in order.Waste of money
1By RoyalceeThis book was no where near as good as the other in death books. It was very predictable and not very interesting. I hope the next one is better. Perhaps Nora Roberts has run out of ideas for the series.Best so far
5By RoadWarriorPrincessI've read the entire Eve Dallas series, and think this is the one with the most heart. But it could not have been written without the previous books, giving us a history and sense of Eve, Roark, and Mavis in particular; where they all came from, what they rose above, and how this case connects to the heart of each of them. Thank you, Nora.Concealed in Death
5By Alice C PettyI have read every JD Robb Death Series book. I have never read a bad one, never a boring one, never one that I have failed to thoroughly enjoy! As with all the Death books, this one was amazing! Thank you for the joy you give your readers! Alice PettyConcealed in Death
4By Yolanda WilliamsIn her usual style Robb has presented a mystery with twists and turns that aren't always readily seen. I enjoy this about her novels. What I don't enjoy with her novels and quite frankly many futuristic novels is the treatment of African-American people. They have not ever been main characters within Eve's or Roarke's inner circle. The preference is always for white or patois. When the occasional Black person arrives, you can tell. They are given stereotypical language, jobs, skills, or backgrounds. They aren't doctors, consultants, wealthy, or powerful. Why is this? Do white authors think Black people will not fare well in the future? Anyone of the reappearing characters in the series could have been black, married to someone black, and having black children. They could have worked alongside Eve and Roarke and spoke exactly the same as Peabody, Mira, or Trueheart. I find it disturbing that authors think we will not have held onto any of the culture we have exhibited from the 1600s has professionals, as educated, as cultured African-Americans. I pains me to see that social class based on skin color by skin color is honored by authors who paint futuristic worlds. Sex may have advanced, but white people and light- skinned people of mixed heritage will still be in power over black people. Native Americans and Hispanics won't even exist. The world will not be smaller, but larger. For someone in that day and age to think talking to someone in Africa is special....wow. I truly enjoy Robb's books, but always wish this author would grow up and see the future as more rather than less inclusive.Super
5By Whit witchFor an author that lives right down the road from me I sure have to wait a long time for her super duper books. This is again a great read. Love these characters. The personal an professional lives an real an funny and shows you a real honest future for all. Keep up ten good work but faster , please. Thanks from all of us.... Vicki
