From Publishers Weekly
In bestseller Robb's slick 26th not-so-near-future crime thriller to feature Lt. Eve Dallas (after 2007's Creation in Death), the New York City homicide cop investigates the murder of business tycoon Thomas Anders, whose strangled body is discovered tied to his bed, apparently the victim of a kinky sex encounter gone bad. Aided by her mysterious husband, Roarke, and long-time sidekick Det. Delia Peabody, Eve doggedly questions Anders's widow, Ava, and his nephew, Benedict Forrest, number two at the victim's corporation, Anders Worldwide. Both Ava and Benedict have alibis that put them far from the crime scene at the time of Anders's death. While the guilty party soon becomes obvious and the gimmick used by the culprit clear to anyone familiar with Strangers on a Train, Robb's strong, hard-nosed heroine once again generates the kind of heat that keeps fans turning the pages.

From AudioFile
This fast-paced installment of the Eve and Roarke series, which takes place in 2060, is concisely narrated with verve and humor by Susan Ericksen. Her reading integrates the mystery of philanthropist Thomas Anders's scandalous death with Lieutenant Eve Dallas's hot relationship with her Irish billionaire husband, Roarke. Eve's sidekick, Detective Delia Peabody, is a character of warmth and humor--in contrast to Dallas's hard-nosed, aggressive style. Ericksen portrays these various characters with unique voices that are compatible with their personalities. Her Irish accent for Roarke is uncannily believable as is the voice of a character who is suffering from a terrible cold. The production is engaging, and Ericksen's verbal nuances add drama to the novel. S.C.A. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
