About this listen

Lieutenant Eve Dallas struggles with the end - and the beginning - of life in this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series.

Just as Eve Dallas begins to investigate the grisly double homicide of two young lovers - both employees of the same prestigious accounting firm - her friend Mavis need a favor. One of the moms-to-be in Mavis’s birthing class has gone missing. Normally, such a case would be turned over to Missing Persons. But Mavis wants no one else on the job - and Eve can’t say no.

Now Eve’s trying to track down the missing woman, while simultaneously unearthing the deals and double-crosses hidden in the files of some of the city’s richest and most secretive citizens, in a race against this particularly vicious killer. Luckily, her multimillionaire husband Roarke’s expertise comes in handy with the number crunching. But as he mines the crucial data that will break the case wide open, Eve faces an all too real danger in the world of flesh and blood.

Loved it.

Loved this story a friend of Mavis goes missing and Eve promises her she'll try and find her. A couple of accountants are murdered and Eve has to try and solve this case as well as the missing person, and on top of all that Eve has to hold a baby shower for Mavis and the baby is born. Truly a full book

Enjoyable though some annoying errors are said.

AUDIBLE REVIEW 23
Enjoyable though some annoying errors are said.
In chapter 7 the wrong name is said/used.
Eve is talking to Feeney after being poked by Whitney about the data.
Should be WHITNEY not “Feeney made a direct statement”
BOOK REVIEW
Another entertaining story that keeps you reading till the end.
Sad at the waste of two lives just starting out but such emotion and humour with the end of Mavis’ pregnancy looming.
Two young people with their whole lives ahead of them are killed. Just because they didn’t go to the right person in their firm with what was discovered.
Also happening is the disappearance of Tandy, a pregnant friend of Mavis’s.
I thoroughly enjoyed how these two separate events ended up intertwined and involved.
LOVED the ending with both Mavis and Tandy going into labour together.
The balance of two innocent lives lost and two babies being born, both carrying a part of Eve with them into the future, is wonderfully done.
A pity the disgusting mother didn’t spend the rest of her life in a cage.
I have read all of these books twice or more already as I own most in paperback and am slowly collecting the kindle versions too when price is reasonable.
I am rereading this series once more, updating and replacing missing reviews.
I have read about 8 books in a row this time and they never get tired, overlap or lose my interest.

The audio is terrible, read the book instead

The story was good. It has a strong CSI feel to it. I felt a bit confused at first as this was the first book in this series that I read, but I picked up quickly enough. The murder mystery and the disappearance were interesting enough and took awhile to find the connection, and for a moment there I didn't quite know what was going on. There were some funny parts too. The spice was mehh 😑 It's kind of fade to black.
Narration was good, but her Irish and British accents were 💩 Also, there were technical issues and often it sounded like the narration was coming from the end of a tunnel.

horrible English accent

usually I love these books. Listened to over 20 now... however... this "Tandy" woman has the most annoying "accent" ever. the narrator really failed at the supposedly English accent. it's not only inaccurate but also extremely annoying. Yes, I live in England. It's so annoying, I'm surprised Eve didn't use her stunner on her.
