Publisher's summary

Lieutenant Eve Dallas must immerse herself in her billionaire husband Roarke’s world of big business to uncover the identity of a hit man in this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series.

On Manhattan’s East Side a woman lies dead at the bottom of the stairs, stripped of all her valuables. Most cops might call it a mugging gone wrong, but Lieutenant Eve Dallas knows better.

A well-off accountant and a beloved wife and mother, Marta Dickenson doesn’t seem the type to be on anyone’s hit list. But when Eve and her partner, Peabody, find blood inside the building, the lieutenant knows Marta’s murder was the work of a killer who’s trained, but not professional or smart enough to remove all the evidence.

But when someone steals the files out of Marta’s office and the killer’s violent streak begins to escalate, Eve knows she has to draw him out, even if it means using herself as bait…

Good listen.. typical Dallas

Good listen. If you like Dallas and Roarke story. Will enjoy listen to this one.

Book 36 of the Best Series Ever!

The 'In Death' series, written by J.D. Robb & narrated by Susan Ericksen, is a futuristic suspense series. The story is set in mid-21st-century New York City & it centers around Lieutenant Eve Dallas & her billionaire husband, Roarke.

My husband & I both love all of the J.D. Robb, 'In Death' series. We first began listening to them when they were on CDs. We've listened to the entire series, in order, three times so far! If we're driving somewhere, you can be sure Eve, Roarke, Peabody, McNab, Capt. Feeney, Mavis, Dr. Mira, Nadine, Summerset & the rest of the gang are in the truck with us. We love all of the major characters & look forward, with anticipation, to the new audiobooks that come out in February & September every year!

If you're looking for an awesome mystery series, a little romance with a bit of the futuristic thrown in, then you'll love this series! Believe me, you just can't go wrong, but be warned... once you get started, you'll be hooked!

The Dallas and Rourke are the perfect team

Love the story. And the whole series. Wish it were not an abridged version. Personally I could do without the intimate scenes.

Keeps you guessing

What’s not to like about how Eve thinks? She has a way about her & her love for Roarke is perfect.

Death series is wonderful.

Would you consider the audio edition of Calculated in Death to be better than the print version?

I prefer audible and haven't read any of the Death series books.

What did you like best about this story?

Loved the main characters and their interaction with each other....Peabody with her pink boots!

What does Susan Ericksen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I only enjoy listening to books read by females for some reason and l think Susan Ericksen is the best! She always gives the characters their personalities with her inflections and accents. Thank you Susan for making my audible experience a pleasure.

Another Winner!

Where does Calculated in Death rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is one of the best in the series. I love Eve Dallas and Rourke!

Always great

The storyline that concludes the storyline from a couple other books came to a great spin with interesting twists and turns. JD Robb really knows how to keep a person going. Every time I read or listen I get something new from the book!

Love this series

Love the In Death series. JD Robb and Susan Ericksen make a great team.

Not quite as good, but ends well...

This latest "In Death" novel has the same great narration, the same recognizable characters, but the story was not as good as most of the other stories. If you've read all of the other books, you'll want to listen to this one as well. However, the plot is too slow and repetitive until near the last third of the book. I can hardly wait for the next one!

Murder and Meyhem

I enjoyed this book. We get Eve make exceptional screen both at the Icove movie premier and catching flying babies. The magic coat is put to the test. Roarke does Roarke things. He's one of my all time favorite characters, as is Peabody. Greed goes awry and people die needlessly. I wish I could see some of the dresses that Laenardo makes for Eve. They sound sexy and interesting.
Always have to add, that Susan does a phenomenal job at the narration.
