About this listen

In this brand-new thriller in the Sunday Times best-selling series, Lieutenant Eve Dallas races to untangle a twisted family history while a hostage's life hangs in the balance.

Say goodnight, baby darling.

Three young women have gone missing. They're all pretty, mid-'20s- someone clearly has a type. But no one links their disappearances until the first - Lauren Elder - is found lying peacefully on a bench in a children's playground. She is neatly dressed with a wide black velvet ribbon covering where her neck has been precisely slit. Her hands are folded over a childish sign on which is written in black crayon - 'BAD MOMMY'.

Lt Eve Dallas and her team are brought in to investigate Lauren's murder and uncover the links to the other two women. Can they find out enough about the missing women and unmask their captor before they kill again?

"If you're a crime fiction fan and haven't discovered them yet, welcome to the very best day of your life." (Heat Magazine)

I’ve listened to the whole series (twice) and continue to enjoy it. I can rely on the main characters to be slowly developed while maintaining their original natures. I also find the stories enjoyable even though it’s so often the rich who commit the crimes - who knew?! I’m looking forward to the next book which has already joined my pre purchases.

This book is the best in along time. The last 8 or 9 were quite meh as though the author wrote the books whilst thinking of something else. They books used to be an without for me but after the 4th just play book I left buying the ebook and/or the audiophile into there was an offer on, this book restored my faith in this series. The narrator does her usual excellent job and the series is back on autobuy.

Best in a long time.

After so many versions, it would not be surprising to find the formula getting tired and predictable.
Not so the In Death series. Even when the reader is lulled into thinking how the book will end, the writer throws a few red herrings and a major twist into the story.
I await the next book with anticipation.

Robb/Roberts creativity is amazing
