As it often did since he'd married a cop, murder interrupted more pleasant activities. The again, Roarke supposed, the woman lying in a pool of her own blood a few steps inside the arch in Washington Square Park had a heftier complaint.

When a night out at the theatre is interrupted by the murder of a young woman in Washington Square Park, it seems like an ordinary case for Detective Eve Dallas and her team. But when her husband Roarke spots a shadow from his past in the crowd, Eve realises that this case is far from business as usual.

Eve has two complex cases on her hands - the shocking murder of this wealthy young mother and tracking down the shadow before he can strike again, this time much closer to home. Eve is well used to being the hunter, but how will she cope when the tables are turned? As Eve and the team follow leads to Roarke's hometown in Ireland, the race is on to stop the shadow making his next move . . .

Who's writing these books now?

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

I have every one of the In Death books. I've reread them all several times. I always pre-order them. But. The last few books have been phoned in and I wonder if Nora is actually still writing them or has a ghostwriter now posing as JD Robb. Where are all the wonderful relationships that made up the first 48 or so books? Where are all the beloved characters? All we get is a fast forward ride with Eve to catch the bad guy. Where are Mavis, Leonardo, Bella, Charles and Louise? Where is the relationship between Peabody and McNab? Peabody and Eve for that matter? None of the repartee is there, none of the warmth of the relationships, none of the banter. I'm feeling cheated in a big way and I've canceled me pre-order of the next book for this reason. Paying $14.99 for something I read in one day is grand theft IMO. I can now easily wait a year or two until the price drops to half this before I buy another one. Nora is writing another series each year along with these so I get that she's got her time divided but we're getting cheated on the In Death end of things! Nora! Please get back to writing these like they matter to you! The stories are good but we're missing out on the reason we stayed with you all these years!

Well Plotted, Well Written

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2020

A lonely cop with one best friend outside of cops. Then an unexpected romantic situation. And a cat. And over the series, Eve Dallas has grown into being loved, married and living in a mansion, solving difficult and fascinating cases, and developing a large extended family of strange and not-so-strange friends and loved ones. In the years of the series, a fascinating cast of secondary characters have developed who make all-too-infrequent appearances. I hate finishing a book since I know it will be a long wait until the next. And I'm always disappointed if Mavis hasn't appeared with quirky husband and hairdresser. She adds color and humor and a daughter who is a tiny riot. There ought to be more Mavis in every book for balance. Crime procedure is fascinating but surely Roarke and Eve have SOME social life. I'd like to see more "Eve and Roarke celebrate the engagement of Peabody and McNab with a backyard BBQ, or Peabody's parents show up and decide to teach a class in weaving and pottery at An Didean, or Morris meets a nurse who can really sing the blues." We know these people, and the regulars are missed when they don't show up. I wish Nora would write 3 Robb books a year. Frankly, they're family and I miss them when they're gone.

Better than I expected

I love this author, have from the first book. I wasn’t impressed with her last two books as she seemed to be going downhill in the general writing and ideas department and bought this when it first came out pre release so had forgotten what it was about. When I read the description before actually reading it my first thought it great it’s going to be stupid as it almost always is with long standing characters who never get mentioned in any previous book but are now sudden family members. Happy to say it didn’t suck completely and wasn’t badly written but I will say this will be a read once and once only for me. I used to read and reread favorite books until the binding fell apart (read books lol) this is not destined to be one of those favorites. Cases are few in it and backstory isn’t interesting enough as it is as stated a new family member no ones heard of introduced as such. It’s meant to have always been eve who can’t remember her childhood but suddenly Roarke has memories problems, convenient and unbelievable.

My new favorite! No slowing down for Eve and Roarke!

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2020

I could not put this one down! It was fantastic to see more of Roarke's background. The action was also much faster paced than usual. A despicable villian, with so many of the supporting characters pulling together to catch him. I've read them all, and this is one of my favorites.

Yes, peripherally it's about solving a crime. But Roarke is the core of this story. We learn so much more of his past. And it's about family. And how it's not just blood that makes a family but choice. I felt all the pieces come together in this one. You come for one of us, you come for all us.

Just absolutely loved Shadows in Death! One of the best ones because it had to do with Roarke. I loved that the entire department worked together on this. Sadly though, I finished this book in one day because I couldn't put it down and now I have to wait again for the next one. Nora, I just love the way you write.

Outstanding

I couldn't put this book down. The storyline was based on Roarke's past so that made it that more intriguing. Even with 51 books, we're still learning more about Roarke's background. The case was challenging, but the obvious love between Eve and Roarke was more apparent. Kudos on another great book.

Another great read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 27, 2020

Verified Purchase

The most disappointing thing about this book, is that it's finished and I have to wait impatiently for the next to come out.

If I'm perfectly honest, this wasn't my favourite, it felt a little rushed I think. It would have been a bit better in my opinion if we had gotten a view into Cobbe's head as we do for the killers in some of the others in the series. Seeing his obsession of Roarke from his own head would have made him seem more real to me.

It wasn't a bad instalment, just not my favourite. Reading how Eve ran an entire department to get to one man was very interesting and the commitment from the other detectives and officers to Roarke was spot on. The investigation itself reminds you that cop work is tedious. I will probably be picking this up to read again as I tend to read from naked in death all the way to the new one coming out when it's time. I must admit, another thing that would have made me like this more? If Feeny and Whitney were the ones to get the collar.

Good book but shame about the price

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

I have bought, some more than once when transferring the series onto my kindle, because I just love a Eve and Roark. What I don't understand is the increase in buying the past few books in this series, really £9.99 for this one which is just to expensive.

However, I liked this fast pace story which had a bad penny from Roark's past determined to kill him and all he loves. In comes Eve and Roark's NYPD 'extended family' who will do anything to make sure that does not happen. The support network made this story hard to put it down. There was a lot of input from Eve's bull pen with her usual colleagues looking into all angles to find the bad penny. An emergency trip for the bull pen to save Roark's family in his homeland Ireland, brings everything to a head.

As I said, enjoyable read.

She's back!! Fast paced, intrigue that leaves you wanting more

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 9, 2020

Delivery - as it was a kindle version it was fast, timely and efficient delivery (just after midnight on the day of release)
Aesthetics - the covers are looking very stylish and I do love to see what they will come up with
Cost - it's reasonable. She's Nora!
The Story - AMAZING!!! I wont repeat the synopsis. But I will say that is was jam packed with content - no wasted scenes, pages or words!! Sometimes fast paced, sometimes extending other areas of the Roarke/Eve world. We got to interact with most for the key players and some more than we are used to!! aka Whitney. Although at one point I thought 'that would never happen/the character would never do that' - I humbly defer to Nora on that as she is the creator and can have her characters do whatever she wants as she knows them best :)...I also felt I got two stories for the price of one - one spring boarded from the other - as they are masterfully intertwined it wasn't jarring and beautifully executed.
All I can say is I LOVED IT. It felt more inline with her early work (in creativity, substance and sheer enjoyment) which has been missing at times of late. Don't think about it - just read it. You won't regret it!!

A welcome return to form

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

Not that the last few books have been bad, because they haven’t, but I have been mildly disappointed as Roarkes role —- in the last few books——- has been more along the lines of an ancillary character. Well not this book, Roark is from and centre with as much page time as Eve. An old acquaintance from his childhood in Dublin is in New York, this man, Cobbe has always hated Roark and would see him dead, as painfully as possible, after first killing everyone Roarke cares about. Eve and Roarke will need all her team and friends, all his resources and contacts and it still may not be enough to capture a man who has eluded authorities all over the world for over twenty years. Cobbe is a straight out killer, the best at what he does and he’s coming for Roarke.

Series definitely losing its sparkle!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

First of all let me say that I have really enjoyed ALL the In Death series up to about Book 40. But after that they have been losing steam. And I can't help wondering whether Nora is actually writing them at all! That's not to say they are bad, they aren't. But, in my opinion, what made the earlier books so enjoyable was that while the detective/thriller stories were engaging, the running back stories of the various characters and their interaction with each other made the whole story come alive. In the more recent books, even Peabody and McNab barely appear! Almost none of the other characters are even mentioned. And Eve and Roarke's relationship has become so humdrum that frankly he might just as well not appear at all. This whole series has become far too formulaic and is rapidly approaching boring. I will probably read one or two more but I certainly will wait the 9 months or so till the price drops to mass paperback level.
