Ritual in Death (In Death Series) » (Unabridged, 3 CDs, 3 hours)

One of the most prolific and popular writers in the world, Nora Roberts (who also writes as her edgier alter-ego J. D. Robb) publishes multiple books a year. Not that it s enough for her fans, who tear through her unconventional romances. With her trademark mix of fantasy, mystery, and romance, Roberts has created her own genre -- and romance fans are grateful for it!

When a high-society party is crashed by a naked, knife-wielding, blood-covered man who "thinks" he might have killed someone, Eve Dallas must track down the crime, and the criminals. Everything points to Satanic ritual, but Eve doesn't believe in devil worship...

Publishers Weekly

Robb's latest crime caper finds Lt. Eve Dallas in the center of a murder investigation that stinks of satanic ritual and the occult. The writing itself is fairly solid, but Susan Erickson's reading is beyond corny and over the top. A veteran reader of the previous Robb titles, Erickson leaps into character from the get-go, shouting her way through the first few pages in an annoying tone that lacks any real emotion and pounds at the eardrums of the audience. Her melodramatic reading sounds like something out of a low-budget soap opera. This novella was published in the 2008 Berkley paperback anthology Suite 606. (Nov.)
