Story
Harry Booth started stealing at nine to keep a roof over his ailing mother’s head, slipping into luxurious, empty homes at night to find items he could trade for precious cash. When his mother finally succumbed to cancer, he left Chicago—but kept up his nightwork, developing into a master thief with a code of honor and an expertise in not attracting attention—or getting attached. Until he meets Miranda Emerson, and the powerful bond between them upends all his rules. But along the way, Booth has made some dangerous associations, including the ruthless Carter LaPorte.

Story
She's young. She's beautiful. And her corpse, laid out in the office of Boston medical examiner Cat Novak, betrays no secrets - except for a notebook clutched in one stiff hand, seven numbers scrawled inside. When a second victim is discovered, Cat begins to fear that a serial killer is stalking the city streets: a shadowy madman without mercy or apparent motive. The police are sceptical. The mayor won't listen. And Cat's chief suspect is one of the city's most prominent citizens.

Susan Ericksen brings these stories to life
I had read the whole series over time and thoroughly enjoyed each and every one. However when I started listening to audio books I found it difficult to lose myself in the story...until I found Susan Ericksen reading the JD Robb series. She has made each character a special personality. It's almost as if I have never read these books before. I'm enjoying Peabody and MacNabb tremendously. I actually laugh out loud at some of the conversations between them as well as some of Eve's comments. This is a terrific mystery series. There is 'edge of your seat' murder plots mixed with family humor and wonderful guest characters. I eagerly look forward to the next in the series.

Interesting, but a bit disappointing at the end
I enjoyed the premise of the story, but the ending was a bit too abrupt. I understand it was a short story that was part of an anthology, but even so, it could have been wrapped up better. Typically after catching the bad guy, we get to see Eve go at him in interview. She went at an underling, but we didn’t get to see her go at the head malefactor. It felt like he had backstory that we never learned.

Interesting concept
Would you consider the audio edition of Ritual In Death to be better than the print version?
I'm not sure, I haven't read the print version. I think I would have liked to read the jacket and fly pages so I knew a bit more about what to expect.
What other book might you compare Ritual In Death to and why?
This question escapes me, I hadn't read any of this series before, so I had no idea what to expect. It was like going to a whole new country without a travel guide. I think it's time to find the first in the series to understand the premises better.
What about Susan Ericksen???s performance did you like?
She was fine, a good reader that understood the text.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
There were some "yuck" moments. That's not an editorial comment, they were supposed to be yucky and they were!

A quick story, but a great storyline. The In Death Series just gets better with each book. I love the audible versions as much as reading the books.
