From Publishers Weekly
At 27 books and counting, Nora Roberts is more prolific under her Robb pseudonym than most authors manage in a single career. Yet the latest in her not-so-near-future detective series featuring New York Police Det. Eve Dallas offers a satisfyingly novel mélange of suspense, sex, forensics and heroics. It's 2060, and the serial killer nicknamed The Groom is back in town after an absence of nine years, resuming his horrific run of kidnapping, torturing and killing young women. Dallas, who served as a detective in the frustrating first investigation, assumes lead role in this one. This time, not only do the killer's chosen victims have ties to Dallas's husband, Roarke, but Dallas herself may be the killer's ultimate target. Swiftly paced, the story cuts frequently from the investigation to the killer's progress with his victims. Dallas works to outplan, outfight and outsmart the killer; to keep her handsome, rich husband happy; and to be ready for the next round after a good night's sleep. Robb's latest is bound to please Dallas fans. (Nov.)

It is the year 2060, and Eve Dallas, New Yorks top cop, is after a serial killer tagged The Groom, who eluded her nine years before, when she was a rookie. The Groom tortures his female victims and leaves their bodies with a silver ring on the ring finger. Now he may be after his greatest challenge--Eve. This offering in Robbs series showcases Susan Ericksens versatility and strong characterizations. Her delivery is well suited to the suspense and humor that are so much a part of this series. Whether shes delivering the sexy Irish brogue of Eves husband, Roarke, or the hippie-styled voice of the geeky McNabb, Ericksens expertise is clear and the product, an audio feast.
