Product Description
Review
The romantic novelist Nora Roberts is quite inhumanly prolific ... Well plotted and well written ... Robb avoids excessive detail about their actions, describing instead the effect on the victims. Dallas is tireless and undaunted in her pursuit of the abductor. This book deserves its inevitable place on the bestseller list. Literary Review

I'm a long-time fan of this series by JD Robb. This next book in the series does not disappoint and the author does a great job of bringing Eve Dallas' past and present together in a riveting thriller.
All the books in the series have been leading up to this story. As more and more of Eve's past has become known it's been apparent that at some point she would have to confront it and in this book she comes face to face with her childhood nightmares. As always there is a generous helping of humour and romance in this story which helps to temper some of the ugliness of the crimes being committed.
Although I enjoy a good first person story, the beauty of a 3rd person narrative is that you get to hear what all the characters are thinking, not just the main one. That's important in this kind of book where the plot is driven by the dialogue and not necessarily the action. As Eve spends more and more time trying to profile her suspect and target where she will capture him we get variety and insight by getting to hear what the suspect is thinking and feeling.
I'm surprised that this series hasn't hit TV or the movies yet. It would make a great crime/drama/sci-fi series with the right casting and scripts.
I can see far ahead in this series. In fact it could now be called In Life instead of In Death and focus on things like Eve and Roake's children which I'm sure will be showing up sooner rather than later and even delving into the futuristic aspect that so far has only been a setting for the stories rather than a plot line. This series still has a long way to go and JD Robb shows no signs of stopping for which I'm glad.

Can't say too much about the plot without giving away the exciting twist ... but this is absolutely one of, if not the, best in the series. A must read if you are a fan!

One of the best book in the series! Like "Portraits in Death" and "Visions in Death" it had me wincing, gripping the side of my reading chair and shedding a few tears.
I truly enjoyed the story,the writing and of course, Eve and Roarke!

Possibly the best in the series
By now, the Eve Dallas series should be getting a little stale. Most of the earlier books, all of which I own, have a fairly standard formula and the stories themselves are almost... Read more

Exceptional Writing
Ms.J. D. Robb has outdone herself in this book. Dallas has faced her past in a most startling way and it was unexpected to see the confrontation in the way it was written. Read more

New York to Dallas by J. D. Robb
This is an excellent book. It was well worth waiting for and well worth reading twice. I can't wait for her next book.
