Haunted in Death In Death Series J D Robb Susan Ericksen 9781423337188 Books

This was my first audio-book and I chose a good one! Haunted in Death is a novella in J.D. Robb's In Death series. It originally appeared in the Bump in the Night anthology along with stories by Mary Blayney, Mary Kay McComas, and Ruth Langan. Since I somehow missed that anthology the story was new to me.

The plot is relatively simple. A murder is discovered in a building that is assumed to be haunted and/or cursed and Eve needs to figure out what happened. The victim is the grandson of the former owner of the building which was a swinging club in the 1960s. The owner of the club had a girlfriend who disappeared and attained legendary status. She was a 24-year-old rock star. Then the owner locked himself into the luxury apartment above the club until he died. Since then the building has gone through lots of owners who all seemed to have bad luck there.

The victim is a guy with multiple ex-wives who was always looking for the next big score - nothing illegal but none of his grand plans ever came through. He had big plans to restore the club and capitalize on the legend of Bobbie Bray. He was shot with an antique gun which turns out to be the gun used to shoot Bobbie Bray too. When investigating the murder of Radcliff Hopkins, Eve finds the bones of another crime victim in the apartment above the club. Apparently the body had been walled in at death but had been found by Radcliff.

Eve traces Redcliff Hopkins past to see if there are clues. Everything seems to lead back to his grandfather's day and the mysterious disappearance of Bobbie Bray. And, it seems, Bobbie Bray has never left the building. Eve hears voices and music but dismisses it. She is far too rational to ever believe in ghosts. Though Roarke is willing to believe in the possibility of ghosts which puts he and Eve somewhat at odds. Eve does have to come to the realization of why she doesn't want to believe in ghosts which helps us understand her and helps her understand herself.

The thrilling climax also includes a visit from the ghost - though Eve will deny it if anyone should ask.

The audio was well-done. All of the characters were given voices that were distinct enough to tell them apart. I liked the emotion in the reader's voice and the suspense that she created. I liked the pacing of the story and the reading. This was a very pleasant way to spend about three hours.

Haunted in Death In Death Series J D Robb Susan Ericksen 9781423337188 Books Reviews

This story was too short. I missed the real detail and the interaction with the character's workmates that is usually in her longer books. I am addicted to J.D. Robb's books but was disappointed in this one.
As are all JD Robbs books in the 'in death' series I find it a pleasure to read about Eve Dallas and the other characters in this continuing saga. Even though I love this series and can hardly wait for the next novel to be available to purchase, this being a short story was great in that it got straight to the point and flowed really well.Sometimes a short story is all you have time for and in my opinion if you like JD Robb you won't be disapointed.
I have all the books of J. D. Robb and a big fan of Eve. She has a way with words that make you wonder just where she will be leading us. Her books are always so entertaining, mystifying and so full of suspense that you continue to know the outcome. I have read her past books twice since I am afraid that there are things that I have missed in the first reading. Second reading is just as enjoyable. Kudos to J. D. Robb!!!!
It wasn't one of her best books. What ever happened to Trina (her crazy hair dresser?) And Mavis Freestone & Bella. She's cutting out her really good characters and the books aren't as interesting as they were in her first books. Running out of ideas?
JD Robb is an easy, but great read. I love listening to audio books and these are just long enough to enjoy while driving, but no so long that it will take you months to finish the books. Love the characters!
I have been going through the series and have thoroughly enjoyed each installment. The stories are good and all of the growing cast of characters just add to the mix. Everyone should give this series a chance.

*Number Twelve is an urban legend in 2060 New York City. The hot club in the 1960s, it is now reported to be haunted...and cursed. Lt. Eve Dallas is called there to investigate the apparent murder of Radcliff Hopkins, its new owner and the grandson of the man who made Number Twelve a cultural icon. Several bullets from a banned gun end his dream of returning the building to its former glory. With everyone around her talking about the supernatural, pragmatic. Eve won't let rumors of ghosts distract her from hard evidence. The case becomes even more bizarre when it appears to be linked to the suspicious disappearance of a rock star eighty-five years ago. As Eve searches for the connection, logic clashes with the unexplainable. She may be forced to face the threat of something more dangerous than a flesh-and-blood killer.

*while checking out the Crime Scene Peabody & Eve Hear a Really Spooky Voice . Peabody is Spooked ...... Eve went to check out the building (No.12 and notices it feels Really Cold inside....while Peabody talks to the first on scene.....Eve finds a hair clips looks like Diamonds on it the Stones were Clean No Dust ......Hmmmm, Eve also Notices certain parts of the building was Clean and others weren't she finds a skeleton and a Gun and a brand new brick wall.... that the bones were behind ....Sound Fishy? Is the building Really Haunted & Crused??

* the building(No.12 has had Several Suspicious Fires, that were never explained.

*Eve's Vic was Riddled with 9 bullets from a 9mm Gun, thinks he was killed by someone he knows. he gets a call on his link a guy doesn't eat chips & pickles , beer if he's nervous ? watches some lite porn. didn't Seem Nervous from the call he got....

* Haunted, Cursed or made to look that way? the bones(female Eve found was killed by the Same Gun as Eve's Vic (Hopkins) Hmmmmm the plot thickens......

* Eve and Roarke GO BACK TO No.12 TO CHECK IT OUT Eve hears a voice singing a song and then heard someone talking saying no don't shot then they see an image Eve's Not buying it thinks it's all set up........

I like this installment Something Different!! Frosty! Read........
