Book Description:
At the luxurious Roarke Palace Hotel, a maid walks into suite 4602 for the nightly turn down - and steps into her worst nightmare. A killer leaves her dead, strangled by a thin silver wire. He's Sly Yost, a virtuoso of music and murder. A hit man for the elite. Lieutenant Eve Dallas knows him well. But in this twisted case, knowing the killer doesn't help solve the crime. Because there's someone else involved. Someone with a more personal motive. And Eve must face a terrifying possibility - that the real target may, in fact, be her husband Roarke...

# 12 in the JD Robb/Nora Roberts series.

Well, though I tend to like the "In Death" series, this one wasn't my favorite. I thought the plotline was a little heavy handed, and the villains were fairly obvious. I was never surprised and felt that the characters should have been able to find the origin of the threat much sooner.

This is my least fave of the books, so far, but its still worth a read if you've already got some sympathy for the characters, but, if you haven't read the series, despite the fact that they are all good stand alone novels and don't require you to have read them in order, I wouldn't start with this one.

Not that they're not all pretty good, but best books I've so far read in this series IMHO are #1 Naked In Death, #21 Origin In Death, #9 Loyalty In Death, and #18 Divided In Death...even #19 Visions In Death.

I love powerful Eve Dallas and how the complex New York crimes are solved. If you don't wanna bite her husband, don't read these books! Nora Robert's best writing is as JD Robb in this "In Death" series of some 30 stories to date. I collect all of the JD Robb books, but skip the Roberts, whose stories are not as tight as those about Lt. Eve Dallas - ass kicker! If the future of New York is like this, I fear these killers who are sneaky and complex.

Nora Roberts is an excellent writter.
Everyone knows her books are always great reads.

Lt. Eve Dallas is investigating a series or murders. The only thing that ties the murders together is that both victims worked for her husband, Roarke. Fearing that Roarke may be the actual target of the killer, Eve wants to keep him out of the picture. Roarke has other ideas and talks Eve into letting him help as a civilian consultant.

Another interesting addition to the "In Death" series. These books never disappoint.

I had given this book a B+ on my personal rating scale. It is always good to read another Eve and Roarke adventure...just like visiting with old friends again. This book was just as good as any of her other ones. Nothing to extrodinary but certainly not bad. When it appears that Roarke is a target for a hitman Eve does everything in her power to protect him. Of course Roarke has other ideas...thinking that if it is him that is being targeted...Eve might just be next in line to get hurt. There is a little bit of a twist towards the end that was a little bit shocking. The mystery aspect of the book was fair but then I personally don't read these books for the mystery anyway.

Can't get enough of Eve Dallas, always a great read

I loved this book. It was so hard to put down once I started reading it. All of the J.D. Robb boopks were like that for me. They keep you involved until the very end. If you love some suspense with a touch of what could be many years down the road you will love this book.
