Book Overview

In this In Death novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author J. D. Robb, Lieutenant Eve Dallas learns that when technology links the law and the lawless, predators and prey can become one and the same... He is an expert with the latest technology...a madman with the mind of a genius and the heart of a killer. He quietly stalks his prey. Then he haunts the police with cryptic riddles about the crimes he is about to commit--always solved moments too late to save his victims' lives. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas found the first victim butchered in his own home. The second lost his life in a vacant luxury apartment. The two men had little in common. Both suffered unspeakable torture before their deaths. And both had ties to an ugly secret of ten years past--a secret shared by none other than Eve's new husband, Roarke.

Vengeance in Death is the 6th book in the in death series

It's a great book, like all the in death series. Ms Robb needs to learn the phonetic alphabet however. I've been out of the military for 30 years and haven't forgotten it.

Good Story

It's Nora, so how can you go wrong? You can't. What a great story. In this one, their marriage is new and they're both struggling to stay true to themselves and each other. The murders in this story hit close to home. Close to Roarke and his questionable past, putting Eve in a tight spot. Her marriage or the badge? Can she find a way to have both? and this is the one where Peabody and McNabb first meet.

Keeps you guessing

This is an exciting story that delves into Roark's past. The love between Dallas and Roark deepens. The who of who done-it is cleverly secret until the end.

The Best Yet!

Vengeance in Death, there is a series of brutal murders involving torment and mutilation. Eve discovers that all the victims had assisted Roarke in his quest for vengeance for the murder of Somerset's daughter back in Ireland years ago.. Somerset, Roarke's butler has been jointly for many years coming to America together from Ireland. Roarke feels he partly responsible for the death of Somerset's daughter even though Somerset doesn't feel this way. The murderer sends Eve riddles before each murder. And she persecutes over each riddle believing that if she can solve the riddle in time she might prevent the murder from happening. Somerset's is really developed in this book as he is framed and made to look like the murderer. This was the best in this series yet. This series offers a perfect blend of suspense, romance. It is fast paced and full of action. I recommend this series to everybody. You won't be disappointed but start with the first book!

Vengeance in Death is a winner

In this latest installment in the "...in Death" series, Vengeance in Death, there is a series of vicious murders involving torture and mutilation. Eve discovers that all the victims had assisted Roarke in his quest for vengeance for the murder of a young girl back in Ireland. The young girl was Somerset's daughter. Somerset is Roarke's butler and they have been together for many years coming to America together from Ireland.The murderer sends Eve riddles before each murder. And she tortures over each riddle believing that if she can solve the riddle in time she might prevent the murder from happening.Somerset's character is largely developed in this book as he is framed and made to look like the murderer, also implicating Roarke. Eve decides to take the investigation underground or risk making Roarke look like the prime suspect.Figuring out the murderer was difficult and entertaining. Another excellent book in the series.

Best in the series! (so far)

I have enjoyed every book in this series. Since I've been reading them in order, I have one left to go (Holiday in Death), but so far, this was the absolute best! I used to read Sci Fi, then I switched to Romance, then I found this: tight, action-filled, police investigation starring a tougher-than-nails heroine and a gorgeous, loving, rich hero. In a futuristic setting!! Could I ask for anything more? In each book, I look forward to the fabulous "gadgets" of the year 2058: the Autochef, the voice-controlled shower, etc. I adore Eve. I adore Roarke. I adore them together. But this book seemed to show them in even more depth. Without giving too much away, my favourite scenes were THE FIGHT, where (for once) Roarke stands up for himself and doesn't let (Darling) Eve bully him. The scene was heartwrenching, funny ("neurotic snits") and sexy. The explosion scene was gripping, the raspberries on the bed scene was howlingly funny and the car speed chase took my breath away. Read every book in the series! In order! Get to know Eve and Roarke slowly. You won't regret it. They never fail to satisfy. I'm on to the next one - Holiday in Death.(P.S. They are quite gory, so be prepared. Skip over the really yucky parts.)
