Dante had been courting his victim in cyberspace for weeks before meeting her in person. A few sips of wine and a few hours later, she was dead. The murder weapon: a rare, usually undetectable date-rape drug with a street value of a quarter million dollars.
Detective Eve Dallas is playing and replaying the clues in her mind. The candlelight, the music, the rose petals strewn across the bed - a seduction meant for his benefit, not hers. He hadn't intended to kill her. But now that he has, he is left with only two choices: to either hole up in fear and guilt or start hunting again. . .
This Eve Dallas mystery, set in the latter part of the twenty-first century, involves two rich, spoiled, and sick young men looking for thrills and finding them in the seduction and murder of young women identified through the Internet. Robb's hyperbole-filled writing doesn't need the additional melodrama of Susan Ericksen's performance. She never persuades the listener that this is a good detective story, nor is her high-pitched voice convincing as Eve Dallas. Another narrator, Christine McMurdo-Wallis, reading GLORY IN DEATH, has been more successful at reading Robb's work without melodrama. S.S.R. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine
