This review represents an accomplishment for me. Although I’d been a Nora Roberts fan for years, I avoided all the Robb books until about two years ago. There were too many to read in order, and who had the time? But fellow review Jennifer Schendel lent me the first two books, and I started making…
Just so you know, I was a reader of the Robb books from the moment Naked in Death hit the shelves. I was a fan before most people even knew she was Nora Roberts. Like all the other fans, I eagerly wait for each installment, buy it the moment I see it, and generally read…
Few writers deliver what readers want as consistently as Nora Roberts writing as J. D. Robb. With Seduction in Death, she scores again with a tale that revolves around a crime that could occur today, and a morality lesson about what happens when you mess with mother nature. The story opens with homicide detective Eve…
I recently noticed that Vengance in Death has never been reviewed. How could this be? Since in my very humble opinion it is the best book in J.D. Robb’s In Death series so far, I decided it was time to remedy this omission. The story opens with Lieutenant Eve Dallas receiving a call from a…
When I cracked this book I’d only read three of J.D. Robb’s In Death series, not in order (if you care, they were Glory in Death, Immortal in Death, and Conspiracy in Death). In the interests of full disclosure, I should also tell you that I was very skeptical. What with astonishing rate the author…
Wow is all I can say! Just when I think J.D. Robb’s In Death series can’t get any better, I’m proven wrong. This latest installment, Judgment in Death is just as sharp, clever and sexy as it’s predecessors. Detective Eve Dallas and husband Roarke, sigh, are still the sexiest and in their own way, cutest…
I love the J.D. Robb In Death series. I haven’t yet read one I didn’t like, and Witness in Death is no exception. Lieutenant Eve Dallas is at the theater with her husband, Roarke, watching an Agatha Christie play when the mystery turns very real. A prop knife replaced with a real blade has left…
If I were to sum up Loyalty in Death in one sentence, I would say, “This book is ice, frigid, mag, remember the word elevator, and Roarke gets shot.” Alas, I would not be that cruel. And, oh, “mag” apparently means fabulous. In the New York City of sixty years from now, New York Police…
Reading a J.D. Robb novel is like visiting with old friends. Each story in the series brings new trials for Eve and Roarke and deeper explorations into their relationship. The reader is allowed to view the ‘happily ever after’ and continue the journey with the hero and heroine. This latest installment in the series involves…
The In Death series by Nora Roberts, writing as J.D. Robb is a gritty, powerful, continuing story that pulls the reader into the harsh reality of the near future. Although the future brings many technical and scientific advances, the baser nature of man does not change. Mankind lusts after power, possessions and in this book,…
