From Publishers Weekly
Set in New York City in 2060, bestseller Roberts's latest police thriller under her Robb pseudonym in her Lt. Eve Dallas series (Naked in Death, etc.) offers her usual engaging characters. Dallas's investigation of the brutal murders of Natalie Copperfield, a 26-year-old accountant, and Copperfield's boyfriend becomes entangled with the search for Tandy Willowby, a pregnant friend who mysteriously vanishes shortly before her due date. Dallas discovers that Copperfield had stumbled on some white-collar fraud at her high-profile accounting firm, while Willowby's disappearance may be part of a series of abductions. Predictably, the two cases converge, and the mystery's solution becomes obvious. Newcomers, who may be dismayed at how little things will have changed in more than 50 years, would do better to start with earlier books in this near-future suspense series. (Nov.)

From AudioFile
Eve Dallas, a tough cop in 2060 New York, can handle the bloodiest crime scene, but being her best friend Mavis's birth coach is an entirely different matter. Dallas is saved from that task when she's summoned to work the double homicide of a young accountant and her fiancé. Then Mavis contacts the already overwhelmed Dallas and pleads with her to find a pregnant missing friend who is about to deliver. The audio skips smoothly along, connecting subplots blithely, and Susan Ericksen never misses a beat. She switches accents easily from that of Dallas's handsome Irish husband, Roark, to that of whiny, pregnant Mavis. With a light touch she unites the futuristic slang, sensual sex, and Dallas's shifting emotions. S.W. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
