    About this audiobook

    Two young children disappear from their East Side home in New York City, their nanny killed in cold blood. As Lieutenant Eve Dallas begins to unravel the crime scene and search for Henry and Gala MacDermit, she’s drawn into the twisted mind of a kidnapper who will stop at nothing to take revenge. Horrific threats concerning the brother and sister hit far too close to home for Eve, drawing her back into memories of her own tortured childhood.

    But Eve knows that there’s no time to waste on the past, and with every passing hour her determination to bring the children safely home strengthens. Eve and her team find themselves following an electronic breadcrumb trail left by a boy desperate to escape the evil witch. Their investigation into the kidnapper’s sordid past reveals violent coercion, ritualistic killings, and chilling bloodlust—making her terrifying plans for the children abundantly clear.

      Ìve gotten behind in the series. Trying to catch up again. One of my top favorite series of all time. Each book gets better and better. Didn't care for the person's Roark accent tho. Made him sound like a lepprican.

      This was a demented evil twin story with a touch of the psychic. It was ok.

      Taken in Death
      5 Stars

      Another excellent novella in the In Death series. This time Eve and her team investigate the murder of a young nanny and the disappearance of her twin charges.

      This one had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end as the tension around the kidnapping intensifies, and the clock appears to be running out for little Henry and his sister, Gala (love the allusions to Hansel & Gretel interspersed throughout the tale).

      It is incredible how Robb keeps hers her readers so engaged in such a long-running series.
    • 4/5
      The cold-blooded killing of a nanny and the disappearance of twins Henry and Galla, the two children she cared for, pulls New York Police and Security homicide detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas into a case that is a kidnapping for revenge.This Hansel-and-Gretel-themed novella, appearing in “Mirror, Mirror” anthology, follows “Thankless in Death” and precedes “Concealed in Death.” Once again, readers know the identity of the culprit, thanks to the security camera, and the unfolding narrative highlights the on-going investigation and the race to find the children. The only downside to this tightly-woven tale is the frustratingly overused, annoying literary convention that establishes the relationship between the children’s mother and the villain. Recommended.
    • 5/5
      Lieutenant Eve Dallas working a homicide and discovers that in addition to the homicide, there has also been two kidnapping. She discovers that a pair of twins (a boy and a girl) have been abducted from their home and Eve and the usual cast are on hand to help. I loved that in such a short novella J.D. Robb was still able to pack in a lot of action and have Eve and her team working doggedly to determine who took the twins and how to find them. I really would have loved to see this in a longer novel since it really was interesting and it was great that we were able to see everyone interacting (Peabody, Callendar, McNab, Feeney, and everyone else we have grown to love over the years). I really wish that J.D. Robb would consider spinning off some of the characters into their own novellas such as Trueheart and Baxter since the little slivers we get of them in the longer novels is never enough for me.
