Publisher's summary

Lieutenant Eve Dallas struggles with the end - and the beginning - of life in this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series.

Just as Eve Dallas begins to investigate the grisly double homicide of two young lovers - both employees of the same prestigious accounting firm - her friend Mavis need a favor. One of the moms-to-be in Mavis’s birthing class has gone missing. Normally, such a case would be turned over to Missing Persons. But Mavis wants no one else on the job - and Eve can’t say no.

Now Eve’s trying to track down the missing woman, while simultaneously unearthing the deals and double-crosses hidden in the files of some of the city’s richest and most secretive citizens, in a race against this particularly vicious killer. Luckily, her multimillionaire husband Roarke’s expertise comes in handy with the number crunching. But as he mines the crucial data that will break the case wide open, Eve faces an all too real danger in the world of flesh and blood.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

Critic reviews

"The audio skips smoothly along, connecting subplots blithely, and Susan Ericksen never misses a beat." ( AudioFile)

Best of the series

The birthing sequence had me laughing out loud- reading this series is my guilty pleasure, somehow i missed this one before- fab indeed

A Crazy Case!

Eve is primary and Mavis is about due so you know what that means. Eve is about to scream when 1 case turns into 2 and she has more pregnant women that she wants. Enjoy

Babies arrive

This is a wonderful addition to the series. I love Eve and Roarke's reactions during all the birthing scenes. From the first time while they go through the coaching class to the actual delivery, this book is just a riot of emotions and humorous situations. Oh, and has some murder and a kidnapping just to round out the plot,

Excellent Book!

I'm a big fan of this series and with a few exceptions, every book has been good and well worth the read. This one had one of best story lines of any I've read so far and didn't go into Eve's childhood too deeply.

Typical

This is a typical In Death Book. It is good with all the usual characters, but not the best of the series.

The perfect duo!

Robb and Erickson are the perfect pair! Erickson brings Robb’s characters to life matching Robb’s character personalities with their “voice personalities.” Robb never disappoints in creating strong, suspenseful stories.

The suspense

The story n interactions between characters. I also would like a little more danger with Roark and or eve

I love Mavis!

I like this book a lot because Mavis plays a bigger role in this one. It's an interesting story. Worth the time and the credit.

Born in Death

I love this book series!! The characters feel like real people, in my opinion. I like this book in general because it brings out Eve’s softer side and makes me feel that there’s a possibility of Eve and Rourke having at least one child at some point. I would love to see how Ms Roberts would write Eve as a pregnant woman and how pregnancy would affect the way Eve does her job. Let’s face, Eve is a hard ass and i love that about her, but I’m curious as to how hard assed she’s be when carrying a child. Considering she and Rourke both feel more comfortable disarming a bomb than holding a baby, that’s a dynamic I’d love to read. But the whole series gets 4 stars from me, so far. I haven’t read them all but I have read a lot of them. Love, love, love this series, keep them coming please.

Born in Death

Finally the baby! I loved this book. There was a lot of interaction between Mavis and Eve and some very laugh out loud parts.
