1: Disappointing rendition of excellent writing
In fairness, to put JD Robb's superior writing into audio or (God Forbid) video format is a very difficult task. Her written images make her characters seem real and that reality would be different for each reader.
I would have given this production 1 or 2 stars based only on the presentation. The only thing that saves this product is the excellence of the writing of JD Robb. Susan Ericksen does a terrible job of separating the dialog of different characters and different emotions - the word "flat" comes to mind.
It is also very evident that Ms. Ericksen has not read the "In Death" series.
If she were familiar with the series she would know that Rourke only uses an Irish accent when he is emotional-very angry, worried about Eve's safety, or sometimes during seduction. She also has no clue of the relationship between Eve and Peobody, or it wouldn't come across so boring.
I regret buying this product. It would be much better in written form.

2: J.D. ROBB IS THE BEST
I have been reading Nora Roberts' books for years...and ALL the J. D. Robb books since she began writing them....LT. Eve Dallas, Rorke, and all the characters are just "Out of this World"!!! My only complaint is she doesn't write them fast enough!!! I can't wait for the next one!!!!

3: Eve's better than ever!
A wife/mother has been reported missing on a New York ferry. There is quite the crime scene but no "body", and when the "missing mom" turns up uninjured with no memory of where she has been, could the NYPSD think of anyone better than Lt. Eve Dallas to solve the crime? And of course, with little or no leads, lack of food and sleep, she will do the job. Ironically, this case will touch her life in ways she never imagined. The victim and the suspect have ties to her painful past, and the secret organization (the HSO). Confronted with the truth, and knowing the motive, Eve must look deep within herself for a solution that she can live with. This short "In Death" story was great. There wasn't the usual amount of romance (although Roarke is still to die for), but there was everything that made a good tale....there were spies, secret weapons, assassins, murder, mayhem and a decent story to boot. I definitely recommend this story to people who love the series (they will know and appreciate the back stories), they won't regret it.

4: Wrong format shipped
I wish I could review this book but you sent it to me in MP-3 CD format instead of standard book format. I can't read it.

5: Missing in Death
You can't go wrong buying a J.D. Robb suspense thriller. A great writer who serves up a great read.
