Lt. Eve Dallas and her crew once again have to unravel a mystery surrounding the death of a prominent man. This book was not as action-filled as many others in the series, but the story was engaging and moved at a fast pace. Very enjoyable read.

This is one of the few series that I will purchase new in hardback. This title is the only one that has been less than satisfying.

There is less action, sex (if you care about that), character growth/change than any other in the series, IMHO. I didn't care much about the victim or the villain. Surely hope that this series is not dying off because I love the characters but it seemed as if the author owed her publisher a book so she scrawled out 350+ pages.

I didn't hate it because I love the characters, major and minor, but it didn't grab me and if this had been the first title I had read, I probably wouldn't have read another.

This is my all-time favorite series, but STRANGERS IN DEATH wasn't my favorite book. Although the mystery is interesting, as always, there wasn't much character development, and most of my favorite characters (Mavis, Summerset, McNab, etc.) are rarely mentioned.

Overall, you won't want to miss this installment if you're a fan of the series, but this isn't the best place for a newcomer to begin reading.

I didn't think it was the typical Dallas. A little slow read, but ok.

A very intriguing story that again leaves me amazed how this author can continue deliver another book in such a lengthy series without repeating herself or making the series boring. Eve Dallas is a character that impresses me with how focused she is on the case and with the tenacity of a pit bull, doesn't let go of our suspect once her sight is locked on them.

The sub-plots going on in each book make the stories even better and the characters more real. I enjoyed Charles and Louise's side story and look forward to seeing how Eve deals with this as time goes on.

This review is from someone who's read only a few novels in this series. This book flagged a bit in the middle, but the premise grabbed me from the very beginning, and about 4/5 of the way through, the pace and suspense both picked up quite a bit for a satisfying ending. Not terribly original, since the plot borrows from a famous Hitchcock film, but a good read all the same.

She never disappoints. I'm going to be ticked off when I get to the end of this series and have to wait for new ones to come out.

Another great read from Robb. The "Dallas-Roark" combination can't be beat. Full of suspense, romance, humor and fun!!
