Hi Cara,
Today on my Blog I am reviewing the audiobook of Faithless in Death by J.D Robb. This is the 52 book in the In Death Series Faithless in Death is now out.
In the new Eve Dallas police thriller from #1 New York Times-bestselling author J. D. Robb, what looked like a lover’s quarrel turned fatal has larger–and more terrifying–motives behind it…
The scene in the West Village studio appears to be classic crime-of-passion: two wine glasses by the bed, music playing, and a young sculptor named Ariel Byrd with the back of her head bashed in. But when Dallas tracks down the wealthy Upper East Side woman who called 911, the details don’t add up. Gwen Huffman is wealthy, elegant, comforted by her handsome fiancé as she sheds tears over the trauma of finding the body–but why did it take an hour to report it? And why is she lying about little things?
As Eve and her team look into Gwen, her past, and the people around her, they find that the lies are about more than murder. As with sculpture, they need to chip away at the layers of deception to find the shape within–and soon they’re getting the FBI involved in a case that involves a sinister, fanatical group and a stunning criminal conspiracy.

Faithless in Death has everything I love in this series.
At the beginning of the book, I thought the case would just be about a murder, but it is about so much more. As Dallas and Peabody uncover a lot during the investigation. I was utterly and completely gripped. There is a group in Faithless in Death that reminded me of several “religious groups” – one in partially that ends with ology with the control over members. As well as its controls on how people view it.
In Faithless in Death, we get to see some characters that haven’t be around for a couple of books. I love the catch up with Marvis. It like a palette cleanser for the lies and murder. Also, I love how supportive all the woman are of each other. Especially the moment in the conference room with Dallas, Peabody, Reo and Nadine.
The audiobook is narrated by Susan Ericksen. I enjoyed Susan performance, as each character sounds different and clear. Although I didn’t think some of the characters sounded that way, but it does suit them.
Faithless in Death is 13 hours and 42 minutes long. It has an interesting crime/mystery with a great mix of new and old characters. A lot of character you will like and love, And a handful you will love to hate. There is humour, friendship, action and a sprinkling of smut.
One of my favourite aspect of Faithless in Death is we get to see the good work of Ducus. The woman shelter Roarke and Eva has built.
My Rating for Faithless in Death is 5 out of 5.
