It's nearly Christmas 2059 in New York, and Eve and Roarke are planning another large holiday party. As Eve deals with her job with the police department, she suddenly gets a blast from her past.
Trudy Lombard, who served as Eve's foster mother for six months right after she was found bloody and alone in Dallas, Texas, has come to her office--supposedly to catch up on old times. When Eve panics and throws her out, Trudy makes her true motives known when she visits Roarke at his office, and demands two million dollars to keep quiet about Eve's troubled past. Roarke refuses, threatens Trudy into leaving them alone, and advises her that her best course of action would be to return, quietly, to Texas.
That, of course, isn't the end of Trudy Lombard. When Eve decides to face Trudy one last time, to insist that she'll get no monetary gain from either her or her husband, they find Trudy dead in her hotel room--and her distraught son, Bobby, and his wife, Zana, are both horrified and heartbroken.
Eve sets out to find out who killed her former foster mother, while battling with the horrendous memories that surface from Trudy's sudden reappearance into her life. As she struggles to balance her home life with Roarke with the death of a woman who only added to her pain and misery all those years ago, Eve is once again faced with her past, and forced to overcome it.
MEMORY IN DEATH is another winner in J.D. Robb's series. You don't want to miss the heartbreak, persistence, and tenacity of this latest thriller!”
“A figure from Eve Dallas' past comes to New York supposedly to visit. Eve has a violent reaction upon seeing this person. In addition to her usual duties Eve becomes lead detective when this person is murdered. A lot of pain and hurt in Eve's background is revealed. To the observant reader two clues pointing to the murderer are in the book. I found this to be a good read.”

Witty and funny, I couldn't resist not putting it down ... Could read chapter by chapter without realising it ... It helps with the occasional flashbacks as I realised I had a lot to catch up in the series (at least 21 books???) ... Adopting the futuristic world, I was initially lost when I came reading 'link, thinking it was typo error ... Only to realise it was set in mid 21-st century ... One should really read this book and open their minds to the world of future technology that may take place yet how crime and sins still remain despite the era ...”
