Book Reviews of Purity in Death
Book Review: The Computer Did It
Summary: 5 Stars
The victims are not "worth" worrying about; they have all caused pain and suffering and the world is better off without them. HOWEVER, there deaths are the result of a terrible virus that is coming from their computers. "Someone" had decided that selected victims must die and has programed a virus into the computers they use which utimately causes them to self-destruct.The In Death series is set in 2059 and has futuristic references combined with good old fashioned detective work. Eve Dallas and her ever present billionare husband Roark combine forces to solve the high tech computer problem, working out of Eve's home with all her staff police staff on hand to help. Purity is another good fun read in this series.
Book Review: Not One of Her Best
Summary: 3 Stars
Because I am an avid "in death" fan, and I have read all but two of the books in the series, I feel that "Purity" was a bit disappointing. At a point in the story (the climax) when the action should peak and then fall into a settling conclusion, I felt there was way too much confusion as to the Mayor's guilt and his part in the puzzle. There were inconsistencies from previous chapters and character conversations. I found myself re-reading to see if I had missed something. The action I have come to anticipate lacked excitement and the characters seemed a bit weak while dealing with the crime-solving issues. I love Nora Roberts and am addicted to this series, so I will not give up on Eve and company.Book Review: The latest in the "In Death" Series by JD Robb is a killer!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This series is an intense, futuristic mystery that captivates from the first pages.... JD Robb has Eve Dallas searching through the twisted minds of killers that use computers to torture and kill their victims. She relies on Roarke, her bad boy turned good hubby who exudes condidence and power as easily as most people breathe. Just the right amount of techno mumbo jumbo to be realistic, combined with the perfect touches of humor, sex, romance, politics and fun to make the perfect read!
If you have not tried this series yet... please do! Each book is a part o the development of the characters... and each book can also stand on its own. (First book in series is Naked in Death.
Book Review: A Purely Fantastic Read!
Summary: 5 Stars
Once again, Eve Dallas is standing for the dead. Some new computer virus is targeting people, and though Eve has no respect for what the victims did while they were living, she'll find who murdered them. The further down she digs, the higher up their suspects seem to go. As Eve and Roarke try to follow their leads back to the killers, Peabody and McNab draw closer. And another secondary character announce big news that makes Eve squirm.
Reading the "In Death" series is like coming home. The mystery is always engrossing, but it's watching the characters develop, watching their relationship evolve, that keeps bringing me back for more.
Book Review: Go DALLAS!
Summary: 5 Stars
Eve as always, does it again. This book had alot more emotional pull than previous ones. Eve is gaining a sense of family that is great to see. Her character is really growing!No real fights w/Roarke in this one. Mainly it is interpersonal developments with Peabody & McNab, Feeney & Eve, Eve & Mavis.
Also we got Jamie Lindstrom. I think that we have everyone in this book. Alot more character development in this one with Trueheart, and (gasp) Mrs. Whitney and Eve get along again.
If stuff like this keeps happening, I think that Eve and Roarke will be having children soon!!!
Definately a keeper! Don't hesitate, go buy it!!
