The bookstore sold this one autographed!
I love powerful Lt. Eve Dallas and how the complex New York City 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 City is like this, I fear these futuristic killers who are sneaky and complex.

I don't really review books, but I have read all the In Death series up to this book and I love them all but I have to say that to date this has been the best one.

I enjoyed this one. A bit different from the usual Eve Dallas. Maybe children are in the future! A hope anyway.

Without a doubt, a MUST read.

Great book, interesting action. Futuristic - I wouldn't think I would enjoy this book but I really liked it. I want to read the series now.

No affairs. No crimianl connections. No DNA. No clues. Eve Dallas may be the best cop in the city-not to mention having the lavish resources of her husband, Roarke, at her disposal-but the Swisher cas has her baffled. The family members were murdered in their beds with brutal, military precision. The state-of-the-art security was breached, and the killers used night vision equipment to find their way through the upper middle-class house. Clearly, Dallas is dealingw ith the pros. The only mistake they made was to overlook the nine-year girl covering in the dark kitchen.....

Eve discovers a little girl survived her family assination. Eve gets caught up in taking care of the little girl and finding the murders.

Wonderful series! I can't get enough of the "In Death" series. Suspense, romance & mystery all wrapped into one.

No affairs. No criminal connections. No DNA. No Clues. Only a nine year old girl - the only survivor. Can they keep her alive long enought to capture the guilty?

A novel in the futuristic series starring Lt. Eve Dallas. She returns to New York City in 2059---where she struggles to solve the murder of a seemingly ordinary family, and protect one small, terrified survivor.

Excellent mystery writer

Excellent, I love this series!!

Lieutenant Eve Dallas struggles to solve the murder of a seemingly ordinary family, and protect one small, terrified survivor.

A really good romance/suspense book.

Engaging story set in the future.

Can be read individually, though it is a triology, and an excellent read. Enjoy all her books.

Eve and Roark what else needs to be said. This one add's a child in need of rescue and Dallas must find who and why her parents and brother and her little sleepover friend was killed. Great story See how much Eve has grown from the first few books. Excellant addition to the In Death Series.

One of my favorite authors...a great read.

I enjoy Nora Roberts/JD Robb and I found this particular book to be better than most in the "In Death" series. Very entertaining and even moving.

showed Eve's compassionate side

In the 20th fine volume of Roberts's futuristic mystery franchise, police lieutenant Eve Dallas is called in when lawyer Grant Swisher and his family are massacred with eerie skillfulness on the Upper West Side. The only survivor is 10-year-old Nixie, who evades—and witnesses—the killers as she creeps down to the kitchen for a midnight snack. Despite the painful memories of her own childhood that Nixie's presence calls up, Eve decides to hide the girl in the high-tech mansion she shares with her husband, billionaire businessman Roarke. With help from Roarke; her faithful sidekick, Peabody; and others, Eve discovers the existence of a shadowy former military operative with a grudge against Swisher—the lawyer helped the operative's battered wife divorce him right before she disappeared. The relatively early disclosure of the villain's identity and the dearth of other viable suspects dulls the suspense in the first half of the book, but tension escalates toward an absorbing denouement as a trap Eve sets for her target ends up with Nixie as its unintentional bait. Throughout, the series' colorful supporting cast and Eve's prickly personality—smartly showcased in her power struggles with everything from space-age vending machines to her own past—remain as vividly appealing as ever.

Fast paced book centering around a bike messenger that becomes involved in a murder investigation.

An upper-middle class family is murdered in their beds with brutal, military precision. A state-of-the-art security system was breached and the killers used night vision equipment to move through the house. They might have pulled off the perfect crime except they overlooked a nine-year-old girl who hid in the dark kitchen. Not one to be comfortable with children Dallas takes the child into protective custody hoping that she can help her solve this crime.

Another J.D. Robb in the "Death" series. Involves a child, which gets to Eve very deeply.

Eve and Roarke rock!
Reading them all! :)

Eve Dallas mysteries. I like the fact that they take place in the future and have imaginative technical advances as part of everyday life. The characters are enjoyable.

Nora Roberts writing mystery as J.D. Robb

You know police lieutenant, hard-as-steel, Eve Dallas on another terrific murder mystery.

The Swisher family was murdered in their beds with military percision. There is no DNA, no criminal background, no affaifs, no clues. The only suriver is the small daughter who saw all. Can Eve Dallas save her? Why was the family killed? This is a twisted tale that will keep you guessing.

another excellent story in the "In Death" series

J.D. Robb/Nora Roberts is an excellent writer. I love her books as must read!

I always enjoy the Eve Dallas mysteries and this was no exception. This one tells of the trauma of a young girl witnessing her parents murders and the affection that Eve's hard core husband, Roarke, and sometimes snide butler, Summerset, develop for the child.

In her newest novel in the series, Nora Roberts, aka J.D. Robb, returns to the New York City of 2059 - where Leiutenant Eve Dallas struggles to solve the murder of a seemingly ordinary family, and protect one small, terrified survivor. Kid's are not Dallas' strong point but she steps up to the plate and provides the child a safe place to stay - with her. She makes a promise to the child that she will find the killer and bring him to justice. Her involvement in the case unearths some of her own darketst memeories and deepest fears. I liked the pace of the book and found myself ignoring all my evening chores to sit down and read !

As always, J.D. Robb delivers in this Survivor in Death book!

a tear jerker

A great mystery-romance read in the "In Death" series

Another great story of Lt Eve Dallas.

Another exciting mystery solved by Lt. Eve Dallas in 2059.

Nora Roberts, writing as J.D. Robb, returns to the New York City of 2059--where Lieutant Eve Dallas struggles to solve the murder of a seemingly ordinary family, and protect one small,terrified survivor.

"Any 'In Death' book should be at the top of any reading list. Eve, Roarke, and the rest of the cast will enchant you, and the murder plots will entrall you. --Grand Forks Herald

Very good book. Held my attention all the way.

Great characters, I recommend this series. It's Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb. Futuristic detective novels with great romance angle.

wonderful installment in this series-kept me on my toes

Lieutant Eve Dallas struggles to solve the murder of a seemingly ordinary family and protect one small terrified survivor

One of the best in the series. Makes you start to wonder when Roarke and Dallas are going to have kids.

Return to 2059 New York City. Lt. Eve Dallas struggles to solve the murder of a seemingly ordinary family and protect one small terrified survivor.

Love this series. These stories just keep getting better even when you think she would run out of story ideas. This is one of the best of the series in my estimation.

Fast and flawless in the true form of JD Robb.

Eve Dallas & Roarke keep getting better. THis is perfect blending of the science fiction and mystery genres.

If you like the Eve Dallas series, this one will not disappoint! I think I read this in two nights :)

This has been my absolute favorite of the Eve and Roarke series. I loved the addition of Nixie. I highly recommend.

One of her best books. Lots of action.

A little girl who is the sole survivor and witness to the murder of her family complicates the murder investigation for Det. Eve Dallas. Nightmares of her own childhood are brought to the fore. J.D. Robb is Nora Roberts' nom de plume for her mysteries set in the near future. One of my favorite mystery series.

A fabulous book. Anyone who loves the Death series knows what I mean when I say I cannot way for J.D. Robb to write the next Eve and Roarke story! A must read.

As always, love Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb!

Eve and Roarke in another stunning futuristic novel. Must read!!

If you are a fan of J. D. Robb or Nora Roberts, this book lives up to her rep. Eve Dallas is as great as ever. This book shows Dallas has a heart.

Very Good
