Product Description:
The #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Survivor in Death has Lieutenant Eve Dallas walking a tightrope between her professional duties and her private demons.
Eve Dallas is one tough cop. She's got no problem dealing with a holiday reveler in a red suit who plunges thirty-seven stories and gives new meaning to the term 'sidewalk Santa.' But when she gets back to the station and Trudy Lombard shows up, it's all Eve can do to hold it together. Instantly, she's thrown back into the past, to the days when she was a vulnerable, traumatized girl-trapped in foster care with the twisted woman who now sits in front of her, smiling.
Trudy claims she just wanted to see how Eve was doing. But Eve's husband, Roarke, suspects otherwise-and his suspicions prove correct when Trudy arrives at his office, demanding money in exchange for keeping the ugly details of his wife's childhood a secret. Barely restraining himself, Roarke shows her the door-and makes it clear that she'd be wise to get out of New York and never bother him or his wife again.
But just a few days later, Trudy's found on the floor of her hotel room, a mess of bruises and blood. A cop to the core, Eve is determined to solve the case, if only for the sake of Trudy's bereaved son. Unfortunately, Eve is not the only one to have suffered at this woman's hands, and she and Roarke will follow a circuitous, dangerous path to find out who turned this victimizer into a victim.

Rating:  - Memory in Death
I found this book to be another of J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts) great books. Keep it up Ms Robert (Robb)
Rating:  - More "In Death," please!
I loved this installment of the "In Death" series because we finally get a glimpse into Eve's life after she killed her father. Eve was in foster care, and the woman she was sent to live with was a piece of work. She tormented the children in her care, and wasn't above fraud and other crimes. When she learns of Eve's marriage to wealthy Roarke, she sees her chance at the big time. She shows up on Eve's door demanding money to keep silent about her past. When she shows up dead the next day, Roarke ... Read More
Rating: - Character-driven mystery
'Memory in Death' was my introduction to the 'in death' series, and it took me a few pages to get my bearings, but after that I settled in for quite an enjoyable ride. While I found the identity of the killer to be relatively easy to figure out, I also found it didn't matter that I'd figured it out. The real mystery wasn't so much 'whodunnit' as 'howdunnit.' How was the murder carried out? How was it covered up? And how could it be proven?
'Memory in Death' is very much a character-driven ... Read More
Rating: - Introducing Trudy Lombard
After Eve Dallas killed her father, she was taken into foster care. The first person who took her in was Trudy Lombard. Trudy Lombard, who showed her love by locking Eve in closets, who showed her care by making Eve take cold showers, and showed how good of a mother she was by not letting Eve eat, and telling her every thing that had happened to her was her fault.
Now, several years later, Eve is recovering from dealing with clones, when Trudy Lombard returns. Eve knows that Trudy isn't ... Read More
