Summary: 5 Stars
The fourth book of the In death series by J.D. Robb it starts at the end of Eve's honeymoon at the Olympus one resort. When an egineer is dicovered dead in his room by his roommate. It is ooobviously self termination and Eve goes home back to new York ehere she has to testify for a trial. Then the defendants lawyer is discovered dead also ruled self termination. Then a controversial politician kills heimself.Why are all these brilliant people with graet futures killing themselves.Eve has very little time to find the answer. This book is great but I suggest that you start at the beggining if the series it is less confusing.Book Review: The latest in a HOT new series!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ms. Roberts presents a dynamic and strong-willed couple
in the future, coping with the same problems people face in
today's relationships. Of course, in this instance, the
heroine is also a top detective in the NY police force, while her husband owns a multi-billion dollar business!
It is interesting to watch the two of them progress in their
intimacy throughout the series, rather than having to fit it
all in within 350 pages. Mysterious backgrounds for both
leading characters leave you in suspense, as a little more is revealed in each book. This is the best series Ms.
Roberts has written in years!Book Review: I liked it a lot:
Summary: 5 Stars
I have now read the first 4 "In Death" novels J.D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts). I guess that officially makes me a fan.
These books are so good, I plan to read every one of them.
Each books had gotten better and better progressively. But don't get me wrong each one of them are wonderful.
The characters are great, and the stories intriguing.
Each time I finish one, I'm left wanting more. It is so nice to see character development throughout the series. After a while, you start to feel like you know them. Big props to Nora!
Happy reading.
Book Review: Getting Old
Summary: 2 Stars
Although I enjoyed the first "In Death" book, I have to admit it's getting old. I keep getting this distinct feeling of deja vu everytime I read another book in the series. It's time to stop using the same recycled plot and change it up a little. This series has a lot of potential, but it seems that the author is too comforatable in the plot outline she is using now. A realize a lot of people love this series, but I'm finding it difficult to understand why. It took me three months to finish this book! Why? The explanations are too vague, the dialogue is too boring, and the plot is too predictable.Book Review: An Early Success
Summary: 4 Stars
Not the best in the series by far. You're still getting to know the characters and not really enough time is spent focusing on who they are. The story is what it's intended to be. A distraction from reality. You're forced to "put aside" your need to get to know the character and follow them through their daily lives. This teaches a few things about the character but you don't really learn much about them until later books.
The story itself is nice, suspenseful, but could have been better with maybe 20 or 30 more pages just focusing on character explication and motivation.
