Publisher's summary

It was just another after-work happy-hour bar downtown, where business professionals unwound with a few drinks, complained about the boss, maybe hooked up with someone for the night. Until something went terribly wrong. At first it was just a friction in the air. The noise intensified. The crowd seemed oppressive. Some sharp words were exchanged, some pushing and shoving.

Then the madness descended. And after 12 minutes of chaos and violence, 80 people lay dead.

Eve Dallas is trying to sort out the inexplicable events. Surviving witnesses talk about seeing things - monsters and swarms of bees. They describe sudden, overwhelming feelings of fear and rage and paranoia. When forensics makes its report, the mass delusions make more sense: it appears the bar patrons were exposed to a cocktail of chemicals and illegal drugs that could drive people into temporary insanity - if not kill them outright.

But that doesn’t explain who would unleash such horror - or why. Eve’s husband, Roarke, happens to own the bar, yet he’s convinced the attack wasn’t directed at him. It’s bigger than that. And if Eve can’t figure it out fast, it could happen again, anytime, anywhere. Because it’s airborne....

Another Entertaining Story by JD Robb

Any additional comments?

Since I've listened to all of these books, its a given I enjoy them. There wasn't much new as far as characters and the plot was familiar. I'd love it if the author would add new and different twists to this series.

Another excellent book by J.D.Robb!

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

I've listened to many of the J.D.Robb audiobooks and have liked all of them, so it's rather difficult to place it in a slot - all of these books are excellent. When you hear one, it's hard not to keep getting them!

What other book might you compare Delusion In Death to and why?

Along with J.D.Robb, I listen to Grisham and other mystery-detective-type audiobooks.

Have you listened to any of Susan Ericksen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've listened to many of Susan Ericksen's performances with the J.D.Robb books, and they are all quite good.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Would have been nice, but not very practical.

Any additional comments?

I listen to audiobooks when I'm on the road, because they keep me alert, and I'm able to pay attention to the traffic while I'm listening. I don't listen to self-help or learning audiobooks when I travel; just fiction. The J.D.Robb series is excellent for traveling.

Did not disappoint!

What made the experience of listening to Delusion In Death the most enjoyable?

As always Susan Ericksen delivers with distinctive voices that I've come to look forward to. Even if I decide to pick up one of the older books and read it for fun, I still hear the same character voices in my head.Watching Eve and Roarke grow in their marriage and Peabody grow as a detective, but still with her own style and free-ager fiber is delightful and adds to the plot just as much as the murder, mayhem and investigating.

Book 35 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!
