'If you're a crime fiction fan and haven't discovered them yet, welcome to the very best day of your life' Heat Magazine

The brand new thriller in the Sunday Times bestselling series

For a Homicide cop, murder often started the day. For the mixed-race female sloppily wrapped in a tarp and stuffed in a construction site dumpster, it had surely ended hers

Lt. Eve Dallas hasn't even arrived at work when her first call of the day comes in. Alva Quirk - forty-six years old, sidewalk sleeper - was beaten to death with a crowbar. Known to the local cops for handing out origami flowers to anyone who gives her change, Alva was well-liked but with no fixed address, no job and no family, there's noone to remember her.

Eve has barely had time to examine the crime scene when her second victim of the morning is discovered just a block away. Make that second and third. Jane Doe - a well-dressed young mother and her baby shot and buried over 40 years ago.

Two very different victims in the same location with no-one to claim them. Coincidence or does the history of the site hold the answer? To uncover the truth Eve must delve into a world of family businesses, Russian mobsters and shady dealings. These two women may have been forgotten in their lifetimes but Eve Dallas won't let them be forgotten in death

'J.D. Robb is a fantastic storyteller who knows how to keep the pages flying by' -#1 International Bestselling Author, Karin Slaughter

Not among the best

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

I've wondered if Nora Roberts was going stale on this series for several books now, and she hasn't broken out of her storytelling slumped with this one.

This book tells the story of two murders that really don't have any connection. I think she added the second one because there simply wasn't enough to the first to make an entire book. Eve knows who committed the 2nd murder after her first interview on the case.

There is also what feels like padding here, too, but though we hear much of all the decorating going on over at the place Mavis and Leonardo will share with Peabody and McNab, we don't get to see Mavis. Feeney and Nadine make merely obligatory appearances, as does Commander Whitney.

All of that said, this one wasn't as stale as the last several have been, but not one of what I consider the best in this series.

Good Storyline but Awful Editing

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2021

Verified Purchase

This story and plotline were better than the last 3-4 books in this series. I agree with all the other reviewers that this might not have been the most exciting plotline but it was definitely the most refreshing one compared to the more recent ones. This book weaves two stories/victims into one and while the crime itself might not be scintillating, I think the focus for this book was really less about writing about an amazing crime being perpetrated and more about the relationships. I think this book provided glimpses of what usually happens after the bad guy gets caught and Dallas grills them and closes the book. It shows what happens when we, as readers, end the book and the imagination begins. I know that, personally, I have always imagined what conversations the characters might have when a book ends and there were moments where I think the author really provided that behind-the-scenes look whether that was between Dallas and Peabody or Dallas and Roarke.

Now, you may be wondering why, if I thought this was a great book to add to the series, that I would rate it 3 stars. Great question. The reason why this is rated 3 stars is not because of the storytelling or plotline but mostly due to the editing or lack thereof. Now -- I know we're all human and this book was written and is published during a pandemic but that still doesn't excuse the punctuation and syntax errors.

There were two glaring errors...or one error and one awkward phrasing decision to keep. I got the kindle version so also not sure if it was an electronic error. Not sure if any other readers or reviewers noticed it also but while these errors might seem small, it makes reading really confusing at times and also detracts from the story. I'm also not sure if the publisher will ever read this review but I thought I should just throw it out there.

The error I noticed was in the line breaks and quotation marks in dialogue. It didn't happen in all the dialogue writing but definitely in 4-5 spots in the book where during the back and forth banter between characters, all of a sudden there would be a line break and then a sentence with opening and closing quotations but instead of it being what you expect (response from the other character), it would actually be a continuation of what was being said. I was always taught that if there was no interruption in a character speaking to not put additional quotations and I'm pretty sure that's still the reasoning particularly as this isn't the only book I've been reading these past few months and every other book uses that logic. It's not an awful error but it just means that there would be moments I would have to glance back up again and reread.

The other issue was in the use of commas and descriptors in places that don't make sense. For example "she's a malignant narcissist, classic, and..." -- this was something a character said. I think in reality, no one would quite phrase it that way. Instead, they might say "she's a classic malignant narcissist, and..." While it's not grammatically incorrect (I think?), it is very awkward, and rarely in spoken English would it have been said that way. There were a couple of other instances similar to this in the rest of the book.

Overall, I think it's a good story to add and flesh out the world of Dallas. I just hope moving forward the publishers and editing team really tighten up on the proofreading.

Disappointing - Where's the Heart?

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2021

Verified Purchase

Every once in a while, a JD Robb book comes out that lacks the essence of what usually makes these books so good. And that is heart. It's soul. It's feelings. I'm sorry to say that this is one of those books. The story is fairly interesting, although not particularly challenging, but there is not much to recommend it. There's little of the Eve and Roarke backstory that makes them such beloved and interesting characters. It's as though the author (was it really Nora Roberts? I wonder.) remembered the old Dragnet series and decided to give us "Just the facts". I actually had to force myself to continue reading it. I'm glad I did, as the ending did pick up some of that heart left out of the first part of the book, but too little, too late. Too bad.

Good not great

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2021

Verified Purchase

I don’t know, it’s not one of her best. In fact, I’m doubting if Robb even wrote the whole book. One of the things I love about the in death books is the unexpected comedy that pops up. This book had none. Nor was there any Mavis and Leonardo, Charles and Louise and there may as well have been no Mira and Summerset, their presence was so minor. JD Robb would almost definitely have gone into greater depth in describing the interaction between Eve and Alva’s brother and sister. I look forward to the release of each book and I have to say this one left me disappointed, almost cheated.

Most of the Old Gang are Back in this Story

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

Overall, it was a wonderful story, with lots of twist and turns until the final murderer(s) were caught. We got to see everyone close to Eve, except maybe Mavis, even though she and her new house were on a lot of people's minds. I can't wait to see how it turns out with both Mavis and Leonardo being so very very creative.

Eve is called to the scene of one murder, and a short time later to the scene of another older murder, within a few blocks of the first. She decides to keep both of them, and sets out on a journey that takes her to a rich Construction Family, a Small Town Sheriff and the Russian Mob. I'll let you read the book to find out how they all tie together. A great read. I highly recommend.

Another Case Solved

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

Despite my rating of three stars, I actually enjoy JD Robb. This story wasn't one of her best thus the three stars. What I did like about this book was the lack of Peabody. This story was more focused on Eve herself. Personally I could do without Peabody as I find the character to be a very silly and immature young woman. I have always found Eve to be a very interesting character and there are still layers to be revealed. In this story the reader sees a maturing strength in Eve as she is more able to emotionally manage what I'll call crimes against women. Heaven knows the character has earned it. So for these reasons I would suggest JD Robb fans read this story.

Wow, read it in a day again!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 20, 2021

Verified Purchase

Eve dallas is what every woman would like to be like and every man should be fearful of. This is yet another book that has the evilness of the world forefront and then Eve and her team follow the clues and close the case . They are such well thought out characters and so flawed as we all are that it doesn't matter if this was the first in the series or 53rd, you would really like them.
Again it grips you from the first page til the last, and when you get to the last all is right with the world and I can go to sleep.
If you ever pick up one of the in death series please start from book 1 as you get to know them and watch them evolve. Each book starts with a murder and Eve is the cop who wants justice for each one.
I have now unfortunately got to wait for the next in series.

Not a classic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

Can’t imagine that anyone would pay full price for this; it’s a shame these are descending into quite dull police procedural without any of the stand out characters and villains of previous stories. Competently done, but I’ll struggle to remember the plot in a week. As many others have said, we miss the personal stories of the rest of the gang - and I miss the flair of earlier novels.

JD Robb at her best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

A body is found in dumpster and almost immediately afterwards remains are found in an adjoining property. Eve suspects that there may be a link. This book is well written and winds through both investigations. I really enjoyed how this story was crafted and I feel that the balance of characters was well done. Some might complain about the lack of some of the usual characters but I felt that the casual mentions of them was enough, rather than trying to shoehorn them into the story.

Fast paced Action for Eve Dallas

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

At last!! Back to the original way of writing. Fast paced Action from the first page, gripping storyline. Not so much detail or character as usual, which was sad, but the speed of this action didn't leave much time for it. Brilliant book, all ready looking forward to the next, with more of Mavis, and more romance from Roarke!

great read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 26, 2021

As usual, JD Robb's Dallas/Roarke series leaves me with a sense of satisfaction and happiness. The familiarity of the characters and the ongoing storylines makes this such a compelling series that even after 53 (yes that's right 53) books, I'm still enamoured. Forgotten In Death as usual examines family dynamics, the mindset of the killer and Dallas and Roarke fight for the underdog. A soothing, easy fast read thoroughly enjoyable form beginning to end.
