Laura
Wow there’s me thinking apprentice as in a brand new detective like Trueheart! Did not see that coming!
More please x
I didn’t believe the anticipation could be worse, but this did it. I too didn’t think of an apprentice assassin. So scary. How will I stay calm until September?
Looking forward to September for more than my birthday!
Ahhh, joy ahead! Must call my local bookstore to be sure my reservation is on the list. Thanks and a great summer to all.
Always a good day when a new book is on the way!
I cannot wait!
Great setup! Makes one wonder who was the actual target.
Wow!!!! I cannot wait. It grabs you and pull you right in.
Normally the excerpt is a bit longer, right? This one’s may three pages long !! 🙁 not nearly enough !!
The prologue made the most sense for now.
Laura
Thank you for this much! Anything you give us is welcome and this is enough to get us excited for September
Ah Laura, you know we who love Nora can never get enough….
Thank you for sharing even if so short!!
That was just the prologue. We usually get the first chapter.
Just enough of a cliffhanger to make us want to read more. That’s all that’s needed at this point.
Loved it can’t wait for the book to come out
Thanks
I love these books
This excerpt sounds as if the book was inspired by the DC Sniper. JD/Nora lives close enough to have heard about it and they were picked up at a rest stop on the way to Frederick,MD…just sayin’? !
I just read the Prologue — looks like we’ll be devastated by the “targets” killed, but glued to the page while Eve chases the murderers down. I am a fan who thinks people who presume to tell Nora/JD what she ought to write are crazy — but I do have one little wish — an In Death where the victims are all people we wouldn’t care about.
She’s done that before. In Witness, Celebrity, Festive and Memory.
Now I have listen to the 42 books and I’m looking forward to the next. Thanks for these thrilling stories.
I always buy a book with the name JD Robb on it. The excerpt is nice, but not needed. I know this book will not disappoint. It never does.
As a figure skating coach & Nora fan…can’t wait to find out what happens next!
Can not wait till this comes out
Talk about an unpleasant killer.
Anticipation is making me wait. It’s great to have this small excerpt. The idea of a scope and rifle that hits it’s target from a mile away- is terrifying. Do they have this technology today?
Looking forward to the new book. I have every one. Love Nora’s work and, as a writer myself, she’s an inspiration.
I wish I had NEVER read this now I am going to wish away my whole summer just to get to this book!
I’m so excited, I can’t wait! At least Bay of Sighs comes out (checks calendar), what, 14 days?
As always, this little tidbit, will have me wishing the summer away. Will be a long wait till September!
I figured the apprentice would be an apprentice killer. Resisted reading the excerpt with the newsletter, but couldn’t hold out when I saw it posted here.
Now I need to go reread about the cooking with Kayla so I’m not so sad.
Ooh I can hardly wait for September. Thanks for the tease.
Love when the September book comes out! Always around my birthday and is an excuse to cop a day all to myself to read and enjoy! Can’t wait!
Excited about receiving news
Sounds great, can’t wait.
Thàt was excellent! Great job of building up the student’s feelings about his hits! Can’t wait to read the book!
Counting down the days…and I love the teasers!
