Best Susan Ericksen Audiobooks
Susan Ericksen is one of the most prolific and respected narrators in romantic suspense and crime fiction, best known for her extraordinary decades-long work on J.D. Robb's In Death series. She has narrated well over sixty books in the series — including Naked in Death (the first installment), along with Portrait in Death, Imitation in Death, Visions in Death, Survivor in Death, Origin in Death, Creation in Death, and Purity in Death — establishing her as the definitive voice of Lieutenant Eve Dallas and the futuristic New York world Nora Roberts created under her J.D. Robb pseudonym. Ericksen's characterization of Dallas — tough, damaged, fiercely competent, and reluctantly loving — has remained consistent across an unprecedented number of volumes. She has also narrated Roberts' contemporary romance fiction including Winter Garden and High Noon. Her sustained work on the In Death series represents one of the longest narrator-series partnerships in audiobook history and has been central to the series' devoted audio following.
