Echoes in Death 44 J D ROBB 9780349410852 Books

I will admit I am biased. I am a huge fan of J. D. Robb and the In Death series. I have read and 're-read each book and listened to and 're-listened to each audio book in this series and I'm still not tired or bored. This latest offering doesn't disappoint. The nature of these crimes are for me difficult for me to digest but the overall story is very engaging. I also love seeing Eve and Roarke`s relationship evolve, and grow and this book offers that as well. Only negative is no Mavis nor Nadine this time around. Highly recommended!

Echoes in Death 44 J D ROBB 9780349410852 Books Reviews

While some long running series start to grow stale after awhile, J. D. Robb's In Death series is one of those rare few that keep running strong. Echoes in Death is no exception. Full of red herrings, brutal murders and assaults, and enough echoes of Eve's own past to shake her up, Echoes is a fast-paced thriller from start to finish.

When Eve and Roarke find Daphne Strazza wandering the side of the road- dazed, naked, and bloody- they have no idea the extent of the evil they will uncover. At first it seems like a burglary and assault with the accidental murder of Dr. Anthony Strazza, and Strazza's unpleasant, god-complex and abusive behavior leave plenty of people on the suspect list for who'd want him dead. As a series of like-crimes is uncovered it becomes less about Strazza's abusive tendencies and more about one very sick, very twisted man with a hidden agenda all his own.

Echoes in Death did an exceptionally good job of balancing Eve's personal and professional lives. We saw more sweet, private moments between Eve and Roarke than usual- including a lovely blizzard scene. There was also a very touching moment between Eve and Galahad that we don't usually see, though of course that was followed by the cat tricking a second breakfast out of Eve! My only complaint is that I find it absolutely criminal that Roarke is only now introducing Eve to that "classic" vid- The Avengers. Reading this book over Oscars weekend, I was a little disappointed not to get a scene between Nadine and Eve (or Nadine, Peabody, and Eve) congratulating Nadine on seven Oscar nominations for The Icove Agenda- but that would have been a bit too much added to the book, and I expect we'll come back to that in a later book since it will probably involve a glitzy party that Eve can't get out of!

The mystery is a bit more traditional than some of Robb's more recent books- we don't see anything from the killer's point-of-view, and solving the crime is based on solid cop work and instinct. Not a complaint, but a change of pace from some of the more recent books like Thankless in Death and Apprentice in Death. As always, I enjoyed not being sure of the killer until the end- although to my credit I suspected him at the first meeting, then fell for the red herrings Robb threw out to forget about him. But I refuse to give away the finale, so you'll have to read Echoes in Death for yourself to discover the killer ending. Robb does a great job writing villains who feel so entitled that they assume they'll get off even after confessing. And the final twist reminds you once again why this book "Echoes".

Echoes in Death may be one of the best In Death books in awhile (although I'm biased, I love them all). Fast-paced, smart, and a perfect blend of violence, murder, wit, and love. Red herrings and plenty of suspects lead to a must read new Eve Dallas mystery!
Love the Eve Dallas stories and have read all of them. I'm a bit disappointed in this one though. The writing style seemed different. Dialogue did not match the characters personality. The plot and story was good and enjoyed it but I don't feel I got a real "in death".
I have read every single In Death book and novella and cross over, and this is the first one that I've ever had a problem with... first off, the writing style is completely different from any of the other books and it made it nearly impossible to read... it took me 5 months to read this book because it just didn't sit right. Not one of the characters spoke sounded like themselves and the storyline was too rushed. Near the end of the book, all of a sudden there is the killer with very little insight into battery are thinking (which is completely new) and the book doesn't explain at all how Eve came to her conclusion... one second she's giving Roarke the rundown and mid-paragraph, all of a sudden she's switched to showing him why she knows it's this guy... no insinuation to the reader at all... it's like two separate scenes were smashed together... and the constant, improper sentence structure is so distracting it's difficult to read! I've never read a book before where I had to re-read nearly every line to make sure I hadn't misread... in all honesty it's as if the story were a fanfic that was published under J.D.Robb's name... not one of the characters acted or spoke like themselves, not even the main character!!! The location and scene descriptions were lacking at best and the dialogue was fragmented... I am seriously disappointed in this book... if the next one is written in the same style as this one, I won't be reading anymore of the series...
This series is consistently outstanding. Of all the authors I read, there are very few that don't cause me to lose interest after fifteen or more books. Eve Dallas just keeps getting better. This was no exception, in spite of the horrific topic, the storyline kept my interest. I knew all would be resolved and or course it was, in a spectacular manner. The villain was caught and the confession was so strange it made sense. The women were portrayed with a lot of sensitivity and empathy. However if you've ever been a victim, I'd give this a pass.

Of course the secondary characters always give these books a different perspective, for me. It's like getting together with old friends. And of course Roarke and Eve are never boring and the love affair just keeps getting better!
There are series that haunt you, that crawl inside you and cannot be ignored. Dallas and Roarke are part of my mind. The mysteries are compelling, the dialogue snappy, the pacing perfect and the passion, off the charts. But, most of all, the characters are human... real, flawed, human in a way that connects.

As they work thru the issues of their childhoods as part of the storylines, they help those of us who survived. They stand for justice. They help us see that surviving was not a crime and that living, loving and being happy are our right. Thank you for writing these. Thank you for so clearly showing the echoes we hear and for revealing ways to quiet them.
The storyline is not a fast paced action packed journey, but it is deep and meaningful. The horrors committed by the villain are nightmarish, but as always, Eve and her team, including Roark, handle it quickly. I love the interplay between Eve and Roark. 44 books in and I'm still completely happy with the series.
