Graphic designer Sonya MacTavish is stunned to learn that her late father had a twin he never knew about—and that her newly discovered uncle, Collin Poole, has left her almost everything he owned, including a majestic Victorian house on the Maine coast, which the will stipulates she must live in for at least three years. Her engagement recently broken, she sets off to find out why the boys were separated at birth—and why it was all kept secret until a genealogy website brought it to light.

Story
In the unbearable heat of another sultry Washington, D.C., summer, a serial killer is on the loose. Dr. Tess Court, one of the capital’s most successful psychiatrists, wants nothing to do with the case—until the police convince her to lend a hand to the lead investigator, legendary ladies’ man Detective Ben Paris. Scarred by his family’s history, Ben has even less use for shrinks than Tess has for him—but the forces of animal magnetism and a shared desire to catch the demented criminal known as “The Priest” inexorably erode the walls they’ve built.

Story
Little else in life is as dangerous as fire jumping. Flying past towering pillars of smoke, parachuting down to the edge of an all-consuming blaze, shoveling and sawing for hours upon hours, days at a time, all to hold the line and push back against the raw power of Mother Nature. But there’s also little else as thrilling - at least to Rowan Tripp. The Missoula smoke jumpers are one of the most exclusive firefighting squads in the nation, and the job is in Rowan’s blood: her father is a legend in the field. She’s been fighting fires since her eighteenth birthday.

Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

evil imitation
A perp imitating serial killers pits himself against Dallas.
Peabody signs a lease with MacNab in Eve’s old building and takes the Detective test.
Meanwhile, Roarke has mixed results with an Ultra Mega grill following a BBQ at the Mira’s.
My favorite quote is from Eve to Nadine: ”bring the donuts; leave the camera”.
Ericksen does a great job of narration.

Excellent
I continue to appreciate listening to Susan Ericksen narrating JD Robb's excellent futuristic police procedural based in New York City. Homicides in the future are as awful as in today's world (2021) and Eve Dallas, Roarke and crew work diligently to stop the killers. This time around someone is copying famous serial killers and taunting Eve with it. As I keep mentioning in my reviews, the dialogue between the police officers, the various personal relationships and between Eve and Roarke drive so much of the dynamic and emotion for me. Of course the plots are off the chart fascinating (to me) and even after reading all the stories in book format I still find myself fully drawn into the future times of the "In Death" series.
