About this listen

 Summer, 2059. A man wearing a cape and a top hat approaches a prostitute on a dark, New York City street. Minutes later, the woman is dead. Left at the scene is a letter addressed to Lieutenant Eve Dallas, inviting her to play his game and unveil his identity. He signs it, "Jack."

Now Dallas is in pursuit of a murderer who knows as much about the history of serial killers as she does. He has studied the most notorious and the most vicious slayings in modern times. But he also wants to make his own mark. And he has chosen his victim: Eve Dallas. And all Eve knows is that he plans to mimic the most infamous murderers of all - starting with Jack the Ripper.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.©2004 J. D. Robb (P)2004 Brilliance Audio Crime Murder Mystery Police Procedural Romance Romantic Suspense Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction

Have enjoyed ever book so far. The main characters build each time. Must be read in order to really appreciate. Loving it.

this is the 17th book in this series( according to the narrators, who introduce the continuation of the story as book 18 at the end..., there seems to be some confusion on the audible page, but I just go by which book is stated as the next on the book I am listening to) and where some parts of the content are predictable and come up in every book in the series, the main storyline is fast paced, twisted and keeps going strongly to the end.
There is some further exploration of Ltd. Eve Dallas's lost childhood memories, which affect her focus temporarily, and a different ending to this book compared to all other books with a first.... you will have to listen to the end to find out.

Brilliantly read and acted with clear differences between the characters. I love the fact that she reads all of the JD Robb books.

Brilliant story, excellently read with clear definition of characters

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this book. It had many funny moments in it and as always I enjoy Roarke and Eve working together. The Peabody becoming a Detective storyline was brilliant as well. I love the development of the characters so you end up caring about a whole bunch of them in the end not just the main ones.

Exciting and funny

Second book of Robb's that I have downloaded. Enjoyed this as much as the first. Nicely woven plot, humour through Peabody, and the narrator does a good job with the various character voices.

Another good tale

it was a good listen as always but didn't feel like the strongest book in terms of story lines. seemed to be a filler to move the narrative

Not one of the strongest books but moves narrative

This is the first in death book that I say this about. I just couldn't get into the story, my sister thinks that I have listened to to many one after another. May be this is so but I found this story a little disappointing even though when we got to the end I still didn't know before it was revealed who did it.

Couldn't get into it
