A new novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series: Lt. Eve Dallas must separate rumors from reality when a woman who traffics in other people’s secrets is silenced.

The chic Manhattan nightspot Du Vin is not the kind of place Eve Dallas would usually patronize, and it’s not the kind of bar where a lot of blood gets spilled. But that’s exactly what happens one cold February evening.

The mortally wounded woman is Larinda Mars, a self-described “social information reporter,” or as most people would call it, a professional gossip. As it turns out, she was keeping the most shocking stories quiet, for profitable use in her side business as a blackmailer. Setting her sights on rich, prominent marks, she’d find out what they most wanted to keep hidden and then bleed them dry. Now someone’s done the same to her, literally—with a knife to the brachial artery.

Eve didn’t like Larinda Mars. But she likes murder even less. To find justice for this victim, she’ll have to plunge into the dirty little secrets of all the people Larinda Mars victimized herself. But along the way, she may be exposed to some information she really didn’t want to know…

Secrets in Death is author J. D. Robb’s (a.k.a. Nora Roberts) 45th entry in her addictive In Death Series. I say addictive because I know I’m not the only one who waits with eager anticipation for each biannual chapter in the lives of Eve and Roarke and the characters who populate their world. The theme, as the title would indicate, is secrets. Everybody has them, right? Right . . . and the first person to get dead is a notorious TV gossip monger who has made it her life’s work to not only make secrets public but to make a tidy and lucrative sideline of keeping secrets secret — for a fee. Larinda Mars is totally unscrupulous and she’s never met a person she wouldn’t like to blackmail. She’s also a hoarder. She not only hoards secrets, but she hoards money, jewels, and stuff. She’s very careful about choosing her victims and shows a strange sort of genius for just how far she can push each one. As our lieutenant and her team sort through book after book of Ms. Mars’ careful cataloging of her prey, the question isn’t who would like to see her dead, but who wouldn’t? Because Eve stands for the dead, she doesn’t allow the fact that she finds the names of her beloved Roarke and some of her closest friends as “persons of interest” in Larinda Mars’ sick sideline interfere with her pursuit of the killer. It’s only when the killer takes a second life that Eve begins to look for a different motive behind the murders. Once the motive becomes clear, Eve knows who the killer is and readers will wonder why they didn’t see the twist coming.

Susan Ericksen gives another stellar performance of Secrets in Death. I think one of the things that keeps me coming back to this series is the fact that her voices for the characters have made them stick in my head. For me, listening to the latest In Death book is like visiting with family.

As a long time fan of the In Death Series, I have found that each book has a unique place in the mosaic — some new bit of background information is revealed or some character is fleshed out. Secrets in Death finds its spot in the pattern as Eve and Roarke ponder how the revelation of their own secrets would affect their lives and their relationship. As they open themselves to us, we catch a glimpse of the very precious nature of the love between these two people with flawed beginnings who should never have made it to where they are, but they did and I am thankful to the author for sharing them with us. If you haven’t been introduced to this fictional couple, the first book and my favorite, Naked in Death, is a good place to start. You’ll probably fall in love just as Eve and Roarke do!
