Seconds after partaking of wine during a Catholic funeral mass, Father Miguel Flores is dead on the altar. Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas confirms that the consecrated wine contained enough potassium cyanide to kill a rhino. And though the East Harlem neighborhood is a long way from the stone mansion she shares with her billionaire husband Roarke, it’s the holiness flying around St. Christobal’s that makes her uneasy.The autopsy reveals faint scars of knife wounds, a removed tattoo—and evidence of plastic surgery suggesting “Father Flores” may not be the man his parishioners thought. Now, as Eve pieces together clues that suggest identity theft, gang connections, and a deeply personal act of revenge, she hopes to track down whoever committed this unholy act. Until a second murder—in front of an even larger crowd of worshippers—knocks the whole investigation sideways…

How does she do it? How does J.D. Robb/Nora Roberts come up with all these attention-grabbing stories? That's what I enjoy so much about J.D. Robb and the Lt. Eve Dallas series, you just can't stop listening.

I pre-ordered the unabridged 13-hour Salvation In Death CD edition which is read by Susan Erickson. I wanted to listen to this book as soon as possible, I couldn't wait. Susan Erickson does a great job of reading this book. She makes it a true production! She is a talented actor who can make the voice of each character sound unique and believable. I enjoy listening to the J.D. Robb series far more than reading it just because of Susan Erickson. Honestly, you just don't want to stop listening.

I believe Salvation In Death is one of the best in the J.D. Robb series. I thoroughly enjoyed the well-woven story line with its fast moving twists and turns. As always, I especially appreciate the well-developed relationships. I found myself laughing out loud at Dallas and Peabody on several occasions. Nora Roberts certainly knows how to write powerful and realistic dialogue filled with real-life emotion.

Susan Erickson reading Salvation in Death held my attention for the full 13 hours of listening. That's very high praise! This book is a thoughtful and intriguing read/listen. I thoroughly enjoyed the unabridged CD version and highly recommend it. Great job J.D. Robb!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Series Review! {NO Spoilers}
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2013

4.5 stars!

After basically years of seeing this series around and reading about this mystical Roarke, I gave in and decided to read the In Death Books. It was quite an undertaking, since when I started there were 33 books already released in the series, not counting short stories and novellas. Besides that, deciding to read this series was a big commitment in two fronts. One, I simply had to by 33 books and secondly, I would not be reading anything else until I was done. That's how psychotic I can be when it comes to book series.

December 2011 was when my journey began and by February 2012 I was done and now there is NO turning back. I am IN LOVE with this series! I not only obviously love Roarke, but I love Eve and all the secondary characters that make up this great story as well.

Yes, I have become irritated with Eve at times, but I adored being able to see her grow throughout the series. It has been quite a ride, but one I will never regret hopping aboard.

This series is a great mix of mystery, police drama and romance. I love every aspect of it, from the near futuristic setting, to the way J.D. Robb writes her prose. If there is one thing that bothers me, is that considering the series has 35 books published, the span of time that has passed is very short and I wish the lapse between books was a bit longer. But if you read the books throughout a longer period of time, it won't really matter, but reading them so close together made me wish for that longer lapse.

Eve is such a complex character. All that she has been through has made who she is, but her story is not less heartbreaking because of it. For that matter, so is Roarke's and the fact that these two found each other is nothing less than serendipity. They need each other and I am sure they would never have grown to be who they are in the series by book 35, if not for each other's presence in their lives. Not to mention the "family" they have built with their dear friends.

One of the biggest issues brought up in this series by J.D. Robb, is the Nature Vs. Nurture debate. I love it! It always makes me think and it is very satisfying to see these people that could have become something very wrong, rise above nature and blood, to become amazing people.

On the crime fighting aspect of the series, I find that Robb uses two types of narrative. Sometimes she carries more of a "Monk" style, where the perpetrator is clear if not early on, but soon. The other one is where we get a punch in the face when we finally find out out who it is. I really enjoy that she doesn't have only one style, since that always keeps me guessing =D

I LOVE this series and if you have yet to check it out, please do so! The first few books might not compel you completely, but keep reading! You won't regret it!
