About this ebook

Homicide Detective Eve Dallas hunts a killer who turns a wedding party into a murder scene in the next novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling author, J.D. Robb, Passions in Death.

On a hot August night, Lt. Eve Dallas and her husband, Roarke, speed through the streets of Manhattan to the Down and Dirty club, where a joyful, boisterous pre-wedding girls’ night out has turned into a murder scene. One of the brides lies in a pool of blood, garroted in a private room where she was preparing a surprise for her fiancée—two scrimped and saved-for tickets to Hawaii.

Despite the dozens of people present, useful witnesses are hard to come by. It all brings back some bad memories for Eve who once suffered an assault in the very same room—but she’d been able to fight back and survive. She’d gotten justice. And now she needs to provide some for poor young Erin.

Eve knows that the level of violence and the apparent premeditation involved suggest a volatile mix of hidden, heated passion and ice-cold calculation. This is a crime that can be countered only by hard detective work and relentless dedication—and Eve will not stop until she finds the killer who destroyed this couple’s dreams before the honeymoon even began...

Ratings and reviews

Once again, J.D. Robb delivers a thrilling and addictive installment in the Eve Dallas series. 'Passions in Death' is a perfect blend of mystery, romance, and futuristic world-building. Eve and Roarke's relationship continues to deepen, and the case itself is full of twists and turns that kept me guessing until the very end. If you're a fan of the series, you won't be disappointed

I've been an avid fan of this series for years and I hate to say this book disappointed me. It was so slow and never really picked up the pace. The characters were weak and boring. The ending and the killer left me bored and frustrated.

I have read all of this series, some twice, and always enjoyed them. But this was slow and boring, the first half especially so. Good concept but felt like she just went through the same ole formula.
