Bestseller Robb's subpar 42nd novel set in a near-future New York (after 2015's Devoted in Death) finds Eve's friend Dennis Mira, husband of her psychiatrist colleague, Charlotte Mira, requesting her help after his cousin, former U.S. senator Edward Mira, goes missing, presumably kidnapped. It doesn't take long for Edward's corpse to show up or for another similarly tortured and abused victim to be discovered. Edward was a serial adulterer, and as Eve tracks down his paramours, she discovers disturbing connections. Links between Edward and the second victim also appear, and Eve, assisted as always by her lover, Roarke, and supporting staff, engages in a race to identify the killers and protect other likely victims. The crimes are ugly and the victims more so, and Eve has to fight through her own brutal past in this less than sparking entry in Robb's popular series. Agent: Amy Berkower, Writers House. (Feb.)

In this installment in the In Death series, Lt. Eve Dallas, of the New York City Police, is faced with solving a crime that starts close to home, with the assault of her close friend, Dennis Mira. Susan Ericksen continues her narration of this series as only she can, with a deep no-nonsense voice for Eve and a quieter Irish-accented voice for Rourke, Eve’s husband. The mystery is full of twists and turns as Eve and her team track down the brotherhood and find the truth behind the murders. Ericksen’s reading keeps up with the action and emotion as she uses changes in pitch and tone to match the mood. This audiobook can be listened to as a stand-alone title or as part of the series.
