I finally gave in and bought my own copy rather than wait (we each bought ourselves a treat in honor of our anniversary!) for it to be available at the library. While OK, this is not going to end up one of my favorites in the series. I had the impression that the writing and production were a little hurried and that maybe Robb's heart wasn't in this story. Also it has less of the ensemble cast that I have come to enjoy. The ongoing regulars tended to have cameos rather than real roles in this particular story. hailelib | Jun 11, 2009 |   Lt. Eve Dallas of the New York Police and Security Department is called to the scene of a murder where it appears philanthropist Thomas Anders died during a kinky sexual encounter. Evidence suggests the victim was sedated at the time of his demise and a lapse in the security system’s recordings signifies this was not an accidental death. Eve quickly hones in on a suspect but can find nothing to connect the killer to Anders at the time he died. But this doesn’t stop the lieutenant, who uses everyone at her disposal, including husband billionaire Roarke, as she meticulously unravels the mystery being Anders’s death. This series attracts many fans, and for a good reason. Robb’s writing is tight, flows well, and she offers characters her fans have grown to love. The mystery is a good one, with plenty of twists and turns, and, as always, Eve Dallas’s intense personality and mindset pull the reader along with her as she seeks to resolve a mystery she takes personally. (  )ctfrench | Apr 5, 2009 | knepveu | Mar 31, 2009 | Reading an In Death book is like lying in bed on a rainy afternoon, cuddled up with a cat or two, munching on chocolates... and reading a good book. I don't do mysteries as a rule, but because I love the background and characters so much, these mysteries are fun. As usual, I adore Eve and Roarke, and all their friends. More Mavis next time! Can't wait to read the next one -- I'm saving it for a while. ;) ( )hafowler | Feb 18, 2009 | A Strangers on a Train murder that overlaps with one of Baxter's.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0399154701, Hardcover)The new novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series.Technology may be different in 2060 New York, yet the city is still a place of many cultures and great divides. But as ever, some murders receive more attention than others-especially those in which the victim is a prominent businessman, found in his Park Avenue apartment, tied to the bed-and strangled- with cords of black velvet. It doesn't surprise Lieutenant Eve Dallas that Thomas Anders's scandalous death is a source of titillation and speculation to the public-and of humiliation to his family. But while people in the city are talking about it, those close to Anders aren't so anxious to do the same. With some help from her billionaire husband, Roarke, Eve's soon knocking on doors-or barging through them-to find answers. But the facts don't add up. Physical evidence suggests that the victim didn't struggle. The security breach in the apartment indicates that the killer was someone known to the family, but everyone's alibi checks out. Was this a crime of passion in a kinky game gone wrong-or a meticulously planned execution? It's up to Dallas to solve a case in which strangers may be connected in unexpected, and deadly, ways.
