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

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. In her uniform days, she’d 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…

Hott Review:

PASSIONS IN DEATH was a great read! I was completely hooked from start to finish. The way the story delves into the connections between the characters and the killer is so intriguing. #PageTurner

The setting of the dead and Eve’s previous near-death experience in that very same space really adds a chilling layer to the story. It’s so crazy to think that the killer was both cold and passionate in their actions. The mystery had me coming back for more! #IntriguingPlot

And can we talk about Eve’s emotions in this one? It’s not just about her interactions, but her emotions really come through. J.D. Robb did an amazing job of making everything feel so real and authentic. #EmotionalRide

I also have to give major props to J.D. Robb for keeping the series so realistic and unpredictable. The way the books ebb and flow with different focuses and cases is just like real life. It keeps things fresh and exciting! #RealisticWriting

Overall, PASSIONS IN DEATH was a fantastic read and I can’t wait to see what’s next for Eve in the series. #GreatBook
