SURVIVOR IN DEATH

NYPD Lt. Eve Dallas is haunted anew by echoes of her past when a family is murdered in their beds save for the 9-year-old daughter. Eve and Roarke shelter the girl in their home while working to track down the killers, who continue to murder in their quest to get to the girl. Robb’s futuristic series (circa 2059) continues to feature interesting characters and crackling suspense. Susan Ericksen, who has narrated others in the series, displays her knack for creating voices that truly fit the characters’ personalities. She portrays Eve with all of her determination and prickliness and is adept at the child’s voice, a skill that is difficult for some narrators. Roarke’s faint Irish brogue enhances his sexy persona, so well written by Robb. M.A.M.
