Echoes in Death: An Eve Dallas Novel (in Death, Book 44)
Echoes in Death: An Eve Dallas Novel (in Death, Book 44) | J D Robb
44 posts | 39 read | 12 to read
This chilling new suspense novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author J.D. Robb is the perfect entry point into the compelling In Death police procedural series featuring Lieutenant Eve Dallas.As NY Lt. Eve Dallas and her billionaire husband Roarke are driving home, a young woman dazed, naked, and bloody suddenly stumbles out in front of their car. Roarke slams on the brakes and Eve springs into action.Daphne Strazza is rushed to the ER, but it s too late for her husband Dr. Anthony Strazza. A brilliant orthopedic surgeon, he now lies dead amid the wreckage of his obsessively organized town house, his three safes opened and emptied. Daphne would be a valuable witness, but in her terror and shock the only description of the perp she can offer is repeatedly calling him the devil ...While it emerges that Dr. Strazza was cold, controlling, and widely disliked, this is one case where the evidence doesn t point to the spouse. So Eve and her team must get started on the legwork, interviewing everyone from dinner-party guests to professional colleagues to caterers, in a desperate race to answer some crucial questions: What does the devil look like? And where will he show up next?"

I‘m in a slump…of sorts. I tried to read 8-10 different books in the past month and couldn‘t get past the first chapter in any. I think I‘m so overloaded that nothing new sinks in. Fortunately, I‘ve been able to enjoy my ongoing series. I read the above 6 books in quick succession. Echoes in Death is book #44…and still going strong! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ it‘s been just 3 years in Eve and Roarke time. Yay. Hope that means another 44 books. 😜

I don‘t know why I‘m not keeping up with my reading maybe because I‘m reading them so fast while I‘m also working 🤦🏼‍♀️ but finished this so I liked this as I have all of the rest of the in death series I‘m almost at the 50 mark 😊📖

Roarke let‘s watch the Avengers and Eve response Is this porn😂😂😂 This is why they are my favorite fiction couple❤️ And let‘s be honest on some level the amount of Eye Candy in the Marvel movies might be PG Porn lol

wanderinglynn I love how Eve always questions idioms and sayings. Those conversations always make me laugh. 3y

Echoes in Death finally came available from the library so I grabbed it for my holiday weekend. This book wasn't about the mystery as much as the investigation and the impact on Dallas. Definitely not a stand alone. I prefer the storylines that focus on Dallas' relationships but this worked.

One of my very favorite series - every one feels like a visit from an old friend. I enjoy the way Eve interacts with the other cops, victims, witnesses, suspects, and ESPECIALLY Roarke.

tpixie Yes and Peabody! 7y

This sounds crazy but reading each new In Death book feels like coming home....it's like the best comfort food, my most favorite pajamas and a totally silent house, all rolled into one. ❤️ I had pretty much pegged the bad guy early on here, but that's not the point. These characters are like family, and as long as I can visit with them, I don't really care so much who the bad guy is. #romantsy #osrbc

Lauren_reading Yes!!! I feel the same way. 8y

robinb @CoverToCoverGirl thanks! It's one series that I have stuck faithfully to and STILL anxiously await the next one. Hard to believe its consistently great longevity....😮😮😮 (edited) 7y
tpixie Yes i'm halfway through echoes. I feel like there was another book where there was a devil face mask, so I'm worried I may have read this when the book came out, but the rest of the book does not seem familiar!! Lol 😝 @robinb @CoverToCoverGirl @LaurenReads (edited) 7y
robinb @tpixie 🤣🤣 I know what you mean! I think Echoes is the most recent that I've read. I try to wait until either the price comes down a little or I can get it from the library. You're right though. I know there have been some masked villains in the past, but the stories are always original and fresh so I can immediately tell if I've read them before...thank goodness! 😳 7y
tpixie @robinb yes! I probably remember all the social life stuff the most!! And I guess if I've read it and forgotten then I might as well be reading it again! 7y
robinb @tpixie I like your thinking and totally agree! 😉 I look forward to going back and re-reading the entire series at some point. For those first ones, it's been a looong time! 7y
tpixie @robinb yes!! I'd especially like to read those first few ones as all the characters are introduced! 7y

Another enjoyable excursion into Dallas and Roarke's world. More snark than the last one (yay for the witty banter!), but still on the serious side. I liked not knowing the UNSUB till close to the end, as it left me trying to guess.

You have no idea how good it is seeing my 89-yo mom able to read again!!! I got my love of reading from her. She read to me even after I could read on my own just because I loved hearing her read aloud. We went to the used bookstore and library every week when I was a kid. An evil medication called Amiodarone took reading from her but she's off that now & back to the books! Monitor your loved ones meds!

Bookworm83 This is the most heartwarming photo! I got my love of reading from my grandma...who reads 30+ books a month. It would break my heart if she couldn't read for whatever reason, so I can only imagine what they must have been like for both you and her. 8y

jfalkens I used to read a book with my mom too ☺ we did it thru high school during the summers with my sister, all three of us would have two books going- one to read by ourselves and one to read together. Of course mom would make us take turns reading out loud once we were old enough to read. 8y

The In Death books are predictable in the best way. Loved this one. After a slower start this reading year is picking up. I'm working to balance my book choices between comfort reads and more diverse picks. It's working for me. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

44 books in and I still love this series. Eve is such a badass and I would marry Roarke in a second😍😍 the storyline is great, but the characters keep me invested. #litsyatoz

I am a solid fan of the series, audio reader, & author. This book is titled based on the crumbs the writer started to drop in book 4 of the series regarding the main character and her past... its an underlined theme.

There's something amazing about a book series comprised of 44 books focused on the same characters. Eve, Roarke, Peabody, McNab, Mira, Mavis, and so many more wonderful characters from this series feel like family. Every book Nora puts out as Robb is a chance to visit old friends. ❤️❤️❤️

Another excellent installment in the series! I did know who the murderer was from the first meeting and I guessed the twist pretty early as well but it was still a very enjoyable read. Also, the change to St. Martin's Press seems to have decreased the number of typos. I guess they still have copy editing unlike PRH :)

Instead of buying books, I had to get a new hot water heater. Going to curl up and read my book instead of thinking of all that money spent on something other than books.

CocoReads That's a much less fun purchase. 😟on the other hand, hot water is quite a nice thing to have! 8y
