Summary

In the new crime thriller from #1 New York Times-bestselling J。D。 Robb， a small and easily concealed weapon wreaks havoc， and the killer is just a face in the crowd。

Jenna’s parents had finally given in， and there she was， at a New York club with her best friends， watching the legendary band Avenue A， carrying her demo in hopes of slipping it to the guitarist， Jake Kincade。 Then， from the stage， Jake catches her eye， and smiles。 It’s the best night of her life。
It’s the last night of her life。

Minutes later， Jake’s in the alley getting some fresh air， and the girl from the dance floor comes stumbling out， sick and confused and deathly pale。 He tries to help， but it’s no use。 He doesn’t know that someone in the crowd has jabbed her with a needle—and when his girlfriend Nadine arrives， she knows the only thing left to do for the girl is call her friend， Lieutenant Eve Dallas。

After everyone on the scene is interviewed， lab results show a toxic mix of substances in the victim’s body—and for an extra touch of viciousness， the needle was teeming with infectious agents。 Dallas searches for a pattern: Had any boys been harassing Jenna？ Was she engaging in risky behavior or caught up in something shady？ But there are no obvious clues why this levelheaded sixteen-year-old， passionate about her music， would be targeted。

And that worries Dallas。 Because if Jenna wasn’t targeted， if she was just the random， unlucky victim of a madman consumed by hatred， there are likely more deaths to come。

This series just keeps getting better and better。 I love how Eve and her team compile the evidence against the perpetrator that leave no doubt in their guilt。 I love seeing how all of Eve’s relationships change and grow。 I， also， love Eve and Roark’s relationship and how they know what each other needs。 This book was more emotional for me than some of the others and I could hardly put it down。 It’s always so hard to wait for the next book！

"Random in Death" is the 58th book in author J。 D。 Robb's "In Death" series。（Really！）The book is also a standalone read。The book's premise was intriguing:A young girl is stabbed with a dirty needle at a concert and dies minutes later。 More similar deaths follow。  When Lieutenant Eve Dallas investigates these suspicious deaths， law enforcement races the clock to keep an aggrieved incel from targeting and killing more teenage girls at crowded events。Even though this book was a standalone read， I f "Random in Death" is the 58th book in author J。 D。 Robb's "In Death" series。（Really！）The book is also a standalone read。The book's premise was intriguing:A young girl is stabbed with a dirty needle at a concert and dies minutes later。 More similar deaths follow。  When Lieutenant Eve Dallas investigates these suspicious deaths， law enforcement races the clock to keep an aggrieved incel from targeting and killing more teenage girls at crowded events。Even though this book was a standalone read， I felt that I would have enjoyed the book more had I read the earlier books in the series。Also， I was a bit put off by the author's "nonbinary" reference to suspects。   （Huh？）Overall， the book was fast-paced and well-written。 I listened to the audiobook read by Susan Ericksen， who did an outstanding job with the narration。Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review。3。5 stars 。。。more

Random in Death is another page-turner in which Eve Dallas and her team are pushed to extremes to catch a killer whose target is teenage girls with very few things in common。 The newest In Death will not disappoint and makes one question how J。D。 Robb keeps going year after year！

Part of a long running series this story still starts with a bang。 You jump right in with characters that envelop you like a warm blanket。The characters are so well written that you come to care about their journey。This thriller involves the murder of teenager’s and really hits the team hard。This is a series that you feel can run and run。Thank you NetGalley and （publisher） for sending this book for review consideration。 All opinions are my own。

This is an intense police procedural story。 Lieutenant Eve Dallas is a fierce a determined protector of the innocent。 The plot moves quickly as Eve and her team hunts a killer targeting teenage girls。 The cast of characters are varied， colorful and interesting。 The author keeps the reader turning the pages as clues pile up and the killer is eventually revealed。

Death， suspense， action， and drama immediately pull readers into Random in Death by J。 D。 Robb （pseudonym for Nora Roberts）。 This well-written futuristic police procedural is set in New York City （NYC） in the summer of 2061 and features Lieutenant Eve Dallas with the NYC homicide police department。 Sixteen-year-old Jenna Harbough has finally gotten parental approval to watch her favorite band play live at a club。 Her idol Jake Kincaid catches her eye while she’s on the dance floor。 It’s the Death， suspense， action， and drama immediately pull readers into Random in Death by J。 D。 Robb （pseudonym for Nora Roberts）。 This well-written futuristic police procedural is set in New York City （NYC） in the summer of 2061 and features Lieutenant Eve Dallas with the NYC homicide police department。 Sixteen-year-old Jenna Harbough has finally gotten parental approval to watch her favorite band play live at a club。 Her idol Jake Kincaid catches her eye while she’s on the dance floor。 It’s the best night of her life。 Minutes later she stumbles outside and dies。 Eve is called to the scene。 Was Jenna targeted specifically or was she a random victim？Time spent with Dallas， Roarke， Delia Peabody （Eve’s partner）， and Eve’s colleagues is always entertaining。 The main characters are compelling and three-dimensional。 Eve is honorable， honest， has strong moral principles， and has a strong sense of duty to victims and their families。 Her need to serve and protect comes through in every book， but the underlying impetus for this is best understood by reading this series in order。 As always， the interactions between Eve and Roarke are enjoyable and bring a different facet of Eve’s personality to light。 It’s fascinating to see how Eve’s mind works getting a better and better picture of the killer。 I enjoyed seeing Peabody continue to take on more responsibility in this story line as well as Detective Jenkinson。 Readers get to see a bit of the private lives of Peabody and her significant other， McNab。 Additionally， Nadine Furst and Jake Kincade share more of the limelight in this novel。It is amazing that after fifty-eight books this author can still use prose to elicit a strong emotional response from readers。 The novel has a deeply involved plot that is thought-provoking and tragic。 Robb weaves humor into her novels， providing levity to offset some of the more serious and grim aspects of the story。 She brings strong characters， great plots， wonderful relationships， and excellent pacing to the series。 Woven through the novel are threads of caring for others， standing for victims， friendship， relationships， ego， justice， leadership， love， respect， and trust。 Additionally， there are themes of murder， shock， denial， grief， power， rage， dominance， punishment， arrogance， and much more。Robb is an excellent storyteller who combines a creative plot with suspenseful scenes， lots of solid police investigation， and some action。 The writing is fluid and the ever-present threat that was looming kept me rapidly turning the pages。 Besides the investigation， Dallas’s solid investigative techniques and her relationships with her friends and colleagues drive the narrative。 It has the right balance of mystery， police investigation， romance， and creative twists。Overall， this novel was a twisty tale with great characterization that kept me engaged throughout the story。 If you enjoy engaging near-future police procedurals， then I recommend this series。 This is the fifty-eighth book in the In Death Eve Dallas series and I have read all of them up to this point。 I can’t wait to read the next book in the series。St。 Martin’s Press and J。D。 Robb provided a complimentary digital ARC of this novel via NetGalley。 All opinions expressed in this review are my own。 Publication date is currently set for January 23， 2024。------------------------------------------My 4。55 rounded to 5 stars review is coming soon。 。。。more

I love this series！ This one was so intense given that the victims were younger but when Eve is on the hunt there is no doubt she will be the victor。 These books just seem to grow with characters but I love how it just honorably mentions and still delivers the story。 It’s been awhile since I picked up a book in this series but it took no time to get lost in one！ Five stars！ This is one timeless series！ I received a complimentary copy to read and this is my opinion！

Random in Death pits Eve against a murderer who thinks they are smarter than everybody including the cops set to take them down。 This is going to take the skills of everyone on the case。 Nobody likes it when a child is murdered so heinously。 This book is a perfect example of why this series can continue without getting stale。
