Product Description
Eve Dallas is one tough cop. She's got no problem dealing with a holiday reveler in a red suit who plunges thirty-seven stories and gives new meaning to the term "sidewalk Santa." But when she gets back to the station and Trudy Lombard shows up, it's all Eve can do to hold it together. Instantly, she's plunged back into the past, to the days when she was a vulnerable, traumatized girl - trapped in foster care with the twisted woman who now sits in front of her, smiling.Trudy claims she just wanted to see how Eve was doing. But Eve's husband, Roarke, suspects otherwise - and his suspicions prove correct when Trudy arrives at his office demanding money in exchange for keeping the ugly details of his wife's childhood a secret. Barely restraining himself, Roarke shows her the door - and makes it clear that she'd be wise to get out of New York and never bother him or his wife again. But just a few days later, Trudy's found on the floor of her hotel room, a mess of bruises and blood. A cop to the core, Eve is determined to solve the case, if only for the sake of Trudy's bereaved son. Unfortunately, Eve is not the only one to have suffered at this woman's hands, and she and Roarke will follow a circuitous, dangerous path to find out who turned this victimizer into a victim.

 Very good. December 6, 2008
I've been expecting a story like this one for a long time.
The Good:
Loved Eve's growth as a wife and a friend.
Loved Peabody & McNab's crisis & how Eve ended up helping.
The Bad:
I knew whodunit nearly from the moment they were introduced--guess Eve's gut instinct came through on the page.
The Verdict:
Solid story, and a good addition to the series.
Memory in Death November 24, 2008
I really enjoyed this book as I do all of the books in the "In Death" series. I find myself rereading them over and over from the first, Naked in Death, to the last especially when I know another one is being published soon. I wish someone would make a movie from the series. I can see Hugh Jackman as Roarke.

Every one of J.D. Robb's "in death" series is a wonderful read.

I would recomend this book to anyone who injoys a mystery
 Memory in Death August 11, 2008
I found this book to be another of J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts) great books. Keep it up Ms Robert (Robb)
More "In Death," please! April 11, 2008
I loved this installment of the "In Death" series because we finally get a glimpse into Eve's life after she killed her father. Eve was in foster care, and the woman she was sent to live with was a piece of work. She tormented the children in her care, and wasn't above fraud and other crimes. When she learns of Eve's marriage to wealthy Roarke, she sees her chance at the big time. She shows up on Eve's door demanding money to keep silent about her past. When she shows up dead the next day, Roarke is the number one suspect.
This was a good old fashioned murder mystery, without some of the wilder elements in previous books (clones!). Though many readers will figure out who the killer is quickly, the main draw here is Eve's single-minded focus to clear Roarke's name. And as ever, Peabody is by her side bringing humor and humanity to the tale. I also enjoyed the scenes with Roarke's personal assistant. She's a great example of a well-done minor character. I can't recommend this series enough.
