Book Review: Reviewed for Midwest Book Review
Summary: 4 Stars
Lt. Eve Dallas of the New York Police and Security Department is called to the scene of a murder where it appears philanthropist Thomas Anders died during a kinky sexual encounter. Evidence suggests the victim was sedated at the time of his demise and a lapse in the security system's recordings signifies this was not an accidental death. Eve quickly hones in on a suspect but can find nothing to connect the killer to Anders at the time he died. But this doesn't stop the lieutenant, who uses everyone at her disposal, including husband billionaire Roarke, as she meticulously unravels the mystery behind Anders's death.
This series attracts many fans, and for a good reason. Robb's writing is tight, flows well, and she offers characters her fans have grown to love. The mystery is a good one, with plenty of twists and turns, and, as always, Eve Dallas's intense personality and mindset pull the reader along with her as she seeks to resolve a mystery she takes personally.
Book Review: Another wonderful Lt. Dallas book.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read this entire series and each book seems to get better. This one is my favorite by far. I love Eve's snappy comments and banter with Peabody and, of course, with Roarke but I feel that the thing I enjoyed most is how Eve and Roarke's relationship seems to deepen with each book. They have been married for awhile and you can feel how comfortable they are with one another, how they anticipate one another and how much they love one another. This warmth is a wonderful backdrop to what is always an ugly and brutal murder. This book also introduced the little boy, Tiko and I wonder if the author plans to bring him back in other books. The introduction of his character is significant as both Dallas and Roarke were neglected and abused children. Tiko, on the other hand, is fortunate enough to have a loving grandmother who is raising him. This may prove significant for Dallas and Roarke while they still refer to and work through their childhood traumas.Book Review: Strangers In Death
Summary: 5 Stars
When I happened upon Naked In Death and finished, I was hooked. I immediately started to purchase all the books in order and could not stop.I did not think when I first read the synopsis of Naked In Death that I would be interested in a futuristic police/romance book of any kind. Boy, was I wrong. I have read each book at least ten times (sounds sick I know) but each time I read them, it's as if I am reading them for the first time. I am anxiously awaiting the November releases. My only wish for Eve and Roarke is that some baby comes into the picture, one where they can bond to a child and experience the love and nurturing they did not have as children. Maybe, they can keep Mavis' baby for a while due to her schedule of something. I want to see how they would respond and maybe decide to have their own child. Eventually they have to have a family, this is Roarke's desire down the road as he says to have children.Book Review: Yet another great addition to the series...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is another great addition to the series. Although we know who the suspect is early on, the mystery is in how Eve is going to prove it. The plot is interesting and fast-paced, and the interaction between Eve, Roarke, and the rest of the crew is always wonderfully done (one of the author's strengths is characterization and dialogue). Although the relationship between Eve and Roarke wasn't the main focus in this book, it was still an integral part of the story - the author definitely keeps the spark going between these two! Very well done. Looking forward to the next one.Book Review: Not neally as good as the rest
Summary: 2 Stars
I have read all of Nora Roberts in Death series, I think thats over 30
books and this is my least favorite. It was very slow and frankly
boring. The whole concept I saw in an episode of CSI and therefore
the ending wasn't that exciting. If you've never read any of the In Death series don't start with this one because then you won't want to read anymore.
