In the new crime thriller from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author, Lt. Eve Dallas journeys into the darkness where murder is born…

NYSPD homicide detective Eve Dallas never knows what to expect when she gets word of a body. It could be an elderly man who made the mistake of climbing a ladder in slippery footwear. And the next call could be a wealthy biotech executive beaten to death in his home office—but what was Larry Chu’s mistake?

The victim’s corpse is so mangled and damaged it’s hard to believe a lone, unarmed assailant could have managed it. The killer was clearly unnaturally strong—and smart enough to find a way into Chu’s highly secure building. Most of all, whoever did this was very, very angry.

The excessive violence leads Dallas to conclude that this was a deeply personal act, born of a rage that she can’t excuse but can understand thanks to her own traumatic past. And though the motive seems rooted in heated emotion rather than cold hard cash, she can’t ignore the suspicious bank account in the Cayman Islands, or the shadowy, profit-hungry company Chu worked for. The mystery only grows when it turns out Chu isn’t the only victim—and Dallas will need to tear through one layer of secrecy after another to reveal what lies behind this explosion of fury...

Received an ARC courtesy of Edelweiss.plus.

I feel like I start my reviews of the In Death books in the same way. Despite the more than sixty novels in this series, I enjoy revisiting the characters. The reader knows the culprit from the prologue, so we are following along during Eve's investigation. I do slightly prefer when it is more of a mystery.

For sensitive readers, the deaths in the book are violent. I skimmed over those sections. There were enough domestic scenes to balance some of this.

Another great edition to the In Death series! This series has always been a sweet treat for my brain. Are the books a little formulaic? Yes. Do I care? No. At this point I’m not reading them for a masterful mystery but for the characters and their development. And they have evolved and grown over the years. It’s kind of crazy to think how long I’ve been reading this series and how my life has changed as well.

This edition to the series took a different approach that I really appreciated. You know from the start who the killer is and why and, honestly, I was rooting for him. It was a nice change.

On the personal side of things, The Great House Project and Party are finished. Finally. I completely understand how awesome it is to buy a house and make it a home that reflects you and your family but reading about it for years was getting old. And that is probably my one complaint about the series. Time moves so slowly that events take years to complete and I get a little bored reading about them. Another example is the baby. Mavis announced she was expecting Number Two before I was pregnant with my number 2 and that kid just turned 5. Maybe speed things up just a little?

Rant aside, I loved the book and I love the series and will continue to read it until the end.

On the super plus side, there is a little bonus in this book for those of you who love Galahad. He gets more page time! He’s one of my favorite “characters” and I enjoy when he gets to do more than sleep and beg for treats. He really deserves a story of his own.

So that’s it. Fans will read it regardless of what my little review says and if you’re not already reading the series what are you doing? Also if you’re not reading the series why are you reading reviews for book sixty whatever? Start at the beginning you weirdo.

I have read every book in this series. The previous book in this series - Stolen In Death - had a twist I was not expecting. I have been thinking about it since I finished, and yes, I have reread it. This series is very reread-able.

Needless to say, I finished this new one in one day, and it was amazing! J.D. Robb never misses! Fury In Death is another winner!

Lieutenant Eve Dallas is called to the scene of a brutal murder - one that looks very personal. As she begins to dig into the victim’s background, Eve will learn that not all is as it seems. And there are more victims to come.

This is truly my comfort series. All of the major players are here: Eve’s husband Roarke, her partner Peabody, her squad, and quite a few more. I always say, a new Eve Dallas book is an opportunity to spend time with the family - I have been reading this series for over 10 years.

I will of course be highly recommending this book to my fellow readers. If you are a new reader or a fan of the series, you will love this entry. At its core, it is a story about family, loyalty, and the lengths we will go to for the ones we love.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for giving me the opportunity to read early. I am so grateful. This book is out in September. Preorder it now.

Another amazing entry in this series that seems just as fresh and exciting at book 63 as it did in book 1! I've been saying this a lot with the most recent books (Bonded in Death and Stolen in Death, especially), but this ranks as one of my favorites in the series. There are lots of big personal developments in this one for Eve and her circle of friends/found family. No spoilers, but several story lines that have been building up for a long time finally pay off in very satisfying (and entertaining) ways. After randomly rereading some of the earlier books while waiting for the new ones, it's amazing to see how far Eve has come in her journey. Eve herself is feeling very reflective in this book, and has some incredibly emotionally honest moments that made me happy (and some that made me laugh), as she finally voices some thoughts and feelings she's had for years but never said out loud. We also get some hilarious Peabody moments here that lighten the mood.

The mystery itself is somewhat of a departure from the usual storyline. In the prologue we flash back 13 years from Eve's present time to show Steven Redman, an almost whistleblower at a big biotech company, losing his family in a supposed gas explosion at home and launching his quest for revenge against the company that stole everything from him. Eve and her team (as well as the reader) struggle with the moral issues of trying to stop a murderer who is technically not the bad guy here and is carrying out justice in his own way. Eve sympathizes with Steven but doesn't waver from her long-held view that justice is served by following the judicial process and putting the bad guys in jail for a long time. With Steven one step ahead of them in his long-planned vengeance scheme--as well as hopped up on a superdrug that gives him inhuman levels of strength and endurance--Eve and Peabody are racing to stop the real bad guys and capture Steven before he completes his plan.

Overall, this book feels like it could have been a very satisfying series finale if we didn't know that Nora plans to keep writing and has the next one already teed up for the spring. Lots of big emotional moments, cameos from characters we've met along the way, and a very interesting and satisfying mystery. This will definitely be one that I revisit in future rereads of the best of the series!

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley for providing an ARC for review!

Getting a new Eve Dallas book is always a thrill! Thank you NetGalley for this opportunity.

As with some of the other books in this series, we know who the murderer is from the beginning. We even now why. A crime that been hidden for thirteen long years.

To a small extent this has the flavor of “Origin in Death” and “Conspiracy in Death”. Rich, powerful men and/or organizations who believe they are above the law and human decency. That is until Eve comes along. So the story is not only about finding and stopping a killer (for whom we have sympathy) but bring down the corrupt, the inhumane, the greedy and mass murderers. I appreciate the way the description of the kills was enough to impress the savagery without a lot of explicit details. [Not long ago read a book that really raveled in giving ALL the gory details - had nightmares.]

By the end of the book we also can sympathize with Eve’s desire not only to stop the killer but to save him. Although never once does she deviates from giving justice to the victims no matter who or long it has taken.

As usual, it was wonderful to spend time with family (made and found) that Eve and Roarke have gathered together. I also wonder how you get syrup out of cat fur.

I can’t wait for the audiobook. Susan Erickson is amazing as Eve Dallas plus all the other characters.

The star still shines. J.D. Robb continues to bring us amazing suspense with technically complex mysteries and heart wrenching plots. No matter how great each book is, the interactions of her friends will always be my favorite part, closely followed by the karma scented wrap up of the villains and the 100% buy in by her team. Adores those guys. We discover from the beginning of Fury in Death, the 63rd book in the series, the impetus behind the horrible murders and find ourselves rooting for the murderer. Yes, he has to be stopped, but we understand where the fury is coming from as does Dallas. A greedy corporation destroyed his life because they could and because if he revealed the horror of their greed, they would lose everything. After years in a coma, he is coming for retribution one person at a time. A scientist who wanted to make the world a better place is nothing to them and now he makes them nothing. Eve and Peabody come to understand where the rage comes from, but they still have a job to do protecting the evil ones but guaranteeing that they pay and pay well through the system.
My thanks to NetGalley, Saint Martin's, and J.D. Robb for giving me a chance to read and share my love of the newest In Death book, Fury in Death.

Fury in Death is author J.D. Robb's 63 book in her In Death series about policewoman, Eve Dallas. I have read maybe the first 10 of the books in the series which were all good, but then I got distracted and haven't picked up where I left off. So, I was a little worried I might be lost 50 books later. No I was not. This book is just as good as the first books (maybe better) and can be read as a standalone title.
Eve Dallas is having a bad day. She just gets finished processing the accidental death of an elderly man when on the way home, she is called to a murder scene. The victim is barely recognizable having been beat to death with only the hands and feet of the murderer. Before 24 hours has passed, another murder with the same MO is committed allowing Eve and her team to connect the murders to a huge corporation that is supposedly a benevolent entity helping those in need. But are they? Once on Eve's radar, she starts digging and is assisted by her filthy rich and super smart husband, Rourke. Will they solve the murders before someone else gets killed?
This was a quick, well written and linear read that has the reader hanging on every word to see what happens. Every Eve Dallas fan should buy this book and if you have never read any of the books in this series, now is the time to start.
Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

In “Fury in Death”, revenge is a dish best served cold, and it is highly personal. Steven Redman has waited thirteen years to punish the people responsible for the deaths of his wife, son and unborn daughter, as well as countless others. A rogue biotech company whose leadership is using its technology to ostensibly help the world, but whose benefits come at a great cost to the recipients, and which is working on technology that will be much more harmful. Redman is hunting down those who betrayed him, one by one, and physically obliterating them — inflicting a level of physical damage that one person should not be capable of using just their hands and feet.

However, as brutally as he destroys his enemies, he is very careful about not harming their families or others. That hint of humanity will be essential to Dallas’ efforts to stop Redman and prove to him that the justice system will appropriately punish those on his kill list that he has not yet destroyed. That element is one of the best aspects of the story — Redman’s brutal fury but his efforts to contain that fury and not harm innocents.

A scientist is not evil at all until the humanitarian company he works for kills his family and like 200 other people. Then he turns into a straight up vigilante and starts literally pummeling people to death. Eve reckons the best way to stop the killer is to bring the people on his list to justice before he can.

The 63rd installment of this series sees Eve Dallas struggling with compassion for a brutal killer, contempt for his potential villains, and her own desire to hypothetically kill anyone who hypothetically were to hurt Roarke or the cat. Even though Eve is back to her roots with frightening serial killers, she's also experiencing consequences and testing her own morality. It won't be a spoiler for fans if I say that she comes down on the side of the law at the end, even if she does continue to lean hard on her staff to go along with her decisions. There's a very funny scene at the end to humanize Roarke as well, which is sometimes needed, but it also might be the reason the couple decides to be child-free forever. Worth it, I guess.

Solid entry into the canon.

I really enjoyed this Eve Dallas mystery. The locked-room murder and brutal crime pulled me in right away, and even though we know early on who the killer is, the slow unraveling of his motives kept the story engaging the whole way through. J.D. Robb does a great job making every side feel human—you feel for the victims, their families, and even the killer at times.

I also liked how the story touched on issues like corporate greed, environmental damage, and the effects companies can have on developing cultures, which made it feel surprisingly relevant. Add in some satisfying continuation of storylines from earlier books, and it ended up being an emotional, entertaining, and hard-to-put-down read.

Welp. It’s time to go Back to the Future for another adventure with Eve Dallas.

Book #63 in the series! For real! That is amazing. And so is this book.

I loved this story. I love when an author creates a villain that you can sympathize with. J.D. Robb/Nora Roberts has done exactly that with “Fury in Death”. And what she has done is put us in a moral quandary.
• Did he break the law? Absolutely
• Is what he has done immoral? Yes
• Is he justified? Well….

So, what does Eve and her team do about it? Her job says one thing. But her heart?

This novel is brilliantly written. I seriously didn’t want it to end.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for providing an ARC for an unbiased review.

This is the 63rd book in the 'In Death' series and I am still thoroughly entertained by them, this one being no exception. In this outing Eve must find a man who is brutally killing the executives of a bio-tech company. The recurring characters feel like friends and this book gives me a good balance of crime solving and mystery and Eve's personal life. As always, I recommend starting with "Naked in Death", the first in the series. Note that while these books are set in the near future, they are mysteries (with a touch of romance) and not science fiction. Thanks to Edelweiss+ for the digital advance reading copy. 5/5 stars

My Thoughts

For old fans and new ones of this series book 63 captures who enjoy all the different aspects that make us keep coming back for each new installment.

The enduring steadfastness that Eve Dallas brings to each new murder investigation is never more on point than it is in this story.

Her personal views are explored and explained well without compromising what needs to be done in regards to finding and stopping the newest murder suspect.

A very solid look into both sides of why someone can be driven to commit violence that can be considered justified in their eyes but is still a criminal offense nonetheless.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC.

Eve is again solving a murder. In this book you see the growth of Eve and Roarke’s marriage and the growth of Eves relationships with others. The murders are brutal and Eve and team figures out pretty quick who is the villain. Even though their hearts go out to why they still search for the villain and the reason for the villains actions. This is another great book by JD that will grab you at the beginning and keep your attention through out.

We also get caught up in the Great House Project and the party to celebrate with a great end for the party.

Thank you NetGalley, St Marins and JD Rob for the early read of another great book.

Steve Redman is about to turn over incriminating information about the company he works for when his pregnant wife and child are killed in an explosion. Jump ahead six years and Eve and Peabody are trying to solve the murders of corporate executives who are beaten to death by someone hyped up on a mystery drug. Can Eve expose the company and its executives before more murders occur? All the beloved characters are here to help. Really for #63 - so impressive that I can’t put the book down once I start. Thanks Netgalley for the ARC. My opinions are my own.

Another great In Death book by J. D. Robb. Two men from the same company are brutally beaten. Eve Dallas must find the connection. But, early on, the reader knows who is doing the killing and why. And even though it is not moral, we tend to feel for the murderer. Eve does, also, but she must still find justice for the dead. In addition, we get to see all the characters who have made this series so charming and we get to meet Peabody's family and a new addition to Mavis' and Leonardo's family. The friendships is what makes this series continue.

WOW! I don’t know how but each “In Death” gets better and better! This was no different. In this book, we pretty much already know who the person is who Eve and the gang are looking for. We don’t know the reasons behind the motives but you can feel the fury behind the murders. Even though the murders are horrific, there’s compassion for the suspect. Behind the blood and gore, there’s a lighter feeling with the upcoming party celebrating the housewarming of Mavis, Leonardo, Peabody, and McNabb’s new and remodeled home. For me, this was a page turner and hard to put down.

Eve Dallas is one of my favorite characters and with each case she continues to be at the top. Fury in death is another terrific book in this series that I am going to say is a must read. The drama and excitement keeps you page turning while smiling at the antics. You just never know what will come out of her mouth or what she will think. Connecting with Peabody and crew makes it even more enjoyable. I cannot wait for more to come. Make sure you add this to your library asap as it is one not to be missed.

Finally, some real forward momentum! The storyline felt a little stalled over the last few books, so this one was such a refreshing change. It’s an excellent crime thriller with strong pacing, emotional depth, and fantastic character development. The characters feel incredibly real at this point — like people you genuinely know and care about. This installment even brought me to tears more than once. I absolutely love this series, and this book reminded me why.

Eve and company are solving the extremely brutal murder of an extremely well-loved executive in the newest In Death installment and all the characters you know and love are back to help (or celebrate Peabody and Mavis's new house). It won't take long for Eve and Peabody to figure out who the murder is, but finding them is a different matter. Full of the suspense and twists you've come to expect from Robb, Fury in Death was a fast-paced and entertaining read!

I love when a new Eve Dallas novel releases! And this is Eve at her finest - investigating a morally grey murderer of immoral people with a dedicated squad of entertaining supporting characters and a devotion to (her slightly bendy) version of justice. Highly recommend this installment of J.D. Robb's iconic "In Death" series, and indeed, the series as a whole.

5 stars. Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for a complimentary version of this book. These opinions are my own.

Three and a half stars rounded up to four. Eve Dallas is a homicide detective. She's called to a case where the victim was beaten until he was unrecognizable. The person who did this was strong. Unnaturally strong. And then there is another murder. And another. What is tying these cases together?
First of all, I'm not a huge fan of detective novels, so others might feel differently about this book. It was well written, but I didn't find it all that interesting.

When does a lack of justice permit vengeance? For NYSPD Lieutenant Eve Dallas, the answer is to pursue justice instead. For everyone, even the complicit dead.

Another solid entry in the long-running near-future mystery-suspense series.

An acti written storyline with a well written storyline and a strong female main character. A murderer driven to commit violence that is justifiable but is still a criminal act. Very enjoyable page turning read with plenty of action. Highly recommended continuing story line mystery by an outstanding author.

Review of ARC from Netgalley - DNF
Having never read a book in this series, I dont think this was the right choice of one. Police procedural aren't usually my thing. I know that people who do read this series love the characters but I found it too fluffy right from the beginning. Which is on par with my feelings on Nora Roberts writing.

You know, for something called fury this sure was calming. It wasn't just the formula and the old familiar friends the characters have become, but they way they relied on one another. That said: The epilogue has me in my feelings and i'm mildly pissed off about that.
