New York to Dallas is the first In Death book whose title does not fit the pattern. According to Ms. Robb herself, this break is not that significant to the course of the series as a whole, and after reading the book, I can see what she means. While this is a solid entry in…
In some ways, this review is superfluous. I’m not denigrating the importance of a reviewer, but, well, things are different with J. D. Robb. If you read her, you’ll probably read this one. And if you don’t, you sure as heck ain’t gonna start with the 32nd hardcover episode of the adventures of Eve Dallas…
Eve Dallas has never been so terrified in her life. This is a horror beyond all horrors. A gruesome murder? No. Assault with a deadly? All in a day’s work. Serial killer? She’s met more than her share and beaten them all. This moment of terror comes to her courtesy of Ireland’s winding roads, with…
Fantasy in Death is the thirtieth book in J.D. Robb’s In Death series. That feels like a pretty big achievement, not only for Robb, but for those of us who’ve read them all. (If that includes you, go pat yourself on the back). If you have read them all, you know that there are the…
Both Eve and Roarke have seen and experienced much in the course of their lives, but the crime that opens Kindred in Death shakes them both. It’s Peace Day in New York – a holiday that commemorates the end of the Urban Wars, and Eve has two whole days off. She and Roarke are just…

I’ve been ambivalent about some recent entries in this series, finding them to be rather forgettable. But with Promises in Death, J.D. Robb is back for me. I loved this book. Death strikes close to home, when Detective Amaryllis Coltraine is murdered. Amaryllis recently transferred from Atlanta to New York and became involved in a…
Though I’m a relatively recent fan of the In Death series, I’ve glommed it twice in the past 18 months since first picking up Naked in Death. It continues to astound me how J.D. Robb has managed to keep this series going for more than two dozen novels (and a few short stories), but Strangers…
When you have been reading JD Robb novels as long as I have, (July 1995, when Naked in Death first came out), you come to realize that there are basically four types of In Death novels: <!– var browName = navigator.appName; var SiteID = 1; var ZoneID = 4; var browDateTime = (new Date()).getTime(); if…
I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m in a romance slump right now, but I will admit that many of the current offerings are not exactly exciting for me. I hate vampires, and I’ve read one (or more) too many paint-by-numbers Regency Historicals. Perhaps that explains my In Death re-reading marathon. After reading…
