One of her best books

This was one of the best books in the "Death" series. I never get tired of the characters. With each book, we grow closer to significant characters, in this case, Charles and Louise. I also never would have guessed the murderers in a million years. This book was very well written, and enjoyed immensely. I can't wait for the next one.

A solid crime story with great characters

It should first be said that this is part of a series about New York Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas, her friends and colleagues and her husband, multibillionaire Rourke. It makes sense on its own, but regarding the characters it's a lot better to have read the other titles in the series first. And they're definitely worth it.
'Strangers in death' is about the death of the wealthy owner of a sports equipment company. At first glance, it seems like a kinky sex session gone wrong. But it becomes clear very soon that this was a well-planned murder. The man was a nice guy according to everyone but his wife, who's obviously lying about a lot of things. But she has a watertight alibi and friends in high places. That doesn't stop Eve from following her instincts and trying to find out how and why the widow could have murdered her husband.
I enjoy the series a lot, mostly because I really like the characters and because the crime stories are always intelligent and have depth. The reason why I didn't give it 5 stars was that this time, the idea comes from a film whose story I happen to know, so I was somewhat ahead of part of the solution. Apart from that, which may not be a problem for all readers, it was a good crime story. I always enjoy some more stories about these characters, so a new Eve Dallas-novel is always a treat. Former titles had more depth and bite when it came to Eve's and Rourke's pasts and relationship, but then they have been together for a while now and I guess you can only write so much about their secrets and conflicts. So all in all, this is a solid and satisfying new title in this great series.

Another winner for J.D.Robb

We must be sick people to hang on every one of these death stories, but again she keeps me from knowing the answer until the time is right.

Great!, as always

Every one of the (In Death) books are great! This one is no exception. I love the intracacies of Lt. Dallas and Roark's relationship, the bantering, subtle humor and sizzling sex scenes! I highly recommend Strangers in Death. You won't be disappointed.

Technology may be different in 2060 New York, yet the city is still a place of many cultures and great divides. And as ever, some murders receive more attention than others - especially those in which the victim is a prominent businessman, found in his Park Avenue apartment, tied to the bed - and strangled - with cords of black velvet.

It doesn?t surprise Lieutenant Eve Dallas that Thomas Anders?s scandalous death is a source of titillation and speculation for the public - and humiliation for his family. While everyone else in the city is talking about it, those close to Anders aren?t so anxious to do so. Fortunately, because Dallas?s billionaire husband, Roarke, happens to own the prime real estate where Anders?s sporting-goods firm was headquartered, she has some help with access. Before long, she?s knocking on doors - or barging through them - to look for the answers she needs.

But the facts don?t add up. Physical evidence suggests that the victim didn?t struggle. The security breach in the highly fortified apartment indicates that the killer was someone close to Anders, but everyone?s alibi checks out, from the wife who was off in the tropics to the loving nephew who stands to inherit millions. Was this a crime of passion - or a carefully planned execution?

It?s up to Dallas to solve a sensational case where all involved guard secrets from one another - and strangers may be connected in unexpected, and deadly, ways.
