Taken in Death

In Death, Book 37.5

By: J. D. Robb

Narrated by: Susan Ericksen

Two young children disappear from their East Side home in New York City, their nanny killed in cold blood. As Lieutenant Eve Dallas begins to unravel the crime scene and search for Henry and Gala MacDermit, she's drawn into the twisted mind of a kidnapper who will stop at nothing to take revenge. Horrific threats concerning the brother and sister hit far too close to home for Eve, drawing her back into memories of her own tortured childhood.

But Eve knows that there's no time to waste on the past, and with every passing hour her determination to bring the children safely home strengthens. Eve and her team find themselves following an electronic breadcrumb trail left by a boy desperate to escape the evil witch. Their investigation into the kidnapper's sordid past reveals violent coercion, ritualistic killings, and chilling bloodlust - making her terrifying plans for the children abundantly clear.

Great!!

This is probably her best short story. I'm not a fan of short stories- I think they leave readers unfulfilled. This one however, was pretty awesome. It was an interesting story and it was well told. Ericksen is brilliant- men, women, kids, accents- she can do them all.

loved it

I had read the story, and enjoyed it. The narrator brought it to life. Will look for more by her. I especially liked the accents.

This is one on the best JD Robb stories!

I’ve read most of the series and can say that this is one of the best stories. Sometimes, it’s not the length of a story that matters, but the quality.

short one with fairly tale twist

Susan Erickson is great. it's a short one. typical in death action with our favorite cast of characters

the twin bond

I couldn't read the cannibal parts. The teamwork was excellent as usual between Eve and cops, the foundation being the love between Eve and Rourke
