Missing In Death

Missing In Death
Author: Nora Roberts writing under name of J.D. Robb
Reader:  Susan Ericksen
3 discs (3 hours)

Suspicious happensings on the Staten Island Ferry draw Lieutenant Eve Dallas to the New York Harbor---Investigating a woman's disappearance on a New York City ferry, Detective Eve Dallas wonders...if she didn't jump, and she's not on board, then where in the world is she?

Personal Notes:  The Eve Dallas series is just okay to me-if there is nothing else its a quick easy read to listen to,  they always seem to be more about the cop in the novel than the actual cases themselves than getting indepth into the bad guys she is trying to catch.  I will stick to Patterson's Alex Cross series or prefer Michael Connelly's detective mysteries as well.

Interlude In Death

Interlude In Death
Author:  J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb)
Read by: Susan Ericken
3 discs (3 hours)

In early spring of 2059, lieutenant Eve Dallas is called of planet ot face a grueling ordeal---giving a seminar at the largest police conference of the year, to be held in a swanky resort which just happens to be owned by her husband, Roarke of course. 

Even though Eve cant quitesee it that way it's supposed to be at least partly a vacation.  But work intrudes in the form of a bloody homicide, and Eve is off and running.  The case is complicated by Eve's personal history with the victom---and the killer's history with Roarke.  As danger closes in and the body count rises, Eve must find a way to stop the cycle of violense and revenge, and shove the past back where it belongs. 

Personal Notes:
I've listened to other Eve Dallas series and they are JUST okay to me.   When read,  the characters come off as super cheesy and even though this is a detective series mystery--its never too indepth on the mystery, it always seems more focused on Eve Dallas being sassy, pretty and fierce as a woman lieutenant,  Roarke her husband has an Irish accent so if you dont like accents on audio books that might be another reason not to pick this up.
