Book Reviews of Three in Death
Book Review: Worth the recycling
Summary: 4 Stars
Each of these three novellas was previously included in anthologies, but if you have limited shelf space, and don't care for the other authors, it's worth your while to pick up this collection of "...in Death" stories.
I would have liked it even better if all the novellas of the series were included, not just three, but these are quite enjoyable and show Robb at her best. Whether Eve is off-planet and dodging the need to make a speech, or counting down to New Year's Eve with a serial killer, you know that she and Roarke - and the usual team of players - will fight for justice in the not-so-distant future.
Book Review: Give me a Break
Summary: 1 Stars
Eve Dallas isn't a great detective. What she is is an arrogant behind. I hate real cops who think that because they wear a badge they get to do what they want. She thinks nothing of destroying an individual's life in the course of an investigation. Why? Because that person may have been guilty. Give me a break. It seems that she "lucks up" on the correct suspect when another crime occurs while she's battering the individual she's decided was guilty. The only saving grace in any of these stories are the supporting characters, Rourke, Sommerset, Mavis, Dr. Mira et. al.Book Review: A bit of a surprise
Summary: 3 Stars
This book isn't listed in the list of books included in the front of each book in the "In Death" series so when I discovered it I was thrilled to order it. I was surprised to find that it was really 3 novelettes which were complete in themselves. "Midnight" was quite good and actually was an extension of Roarke and Dallas's first Christmas together. The mystery is good and it's worth the read. The second and third are not as tightly written as her novels and so were a bit disappointing. This is still a fun read as the ideas and mysteries are very novel (as always).Book Review: Challenging!
Summary: 4 Stars
Of course I have read all of the "In Death" books by Nora Roberts, and with this being a trilogy of short stories I was somewhat hesistant before ordering. I thoroughly enjoyed the short story by Nora, but the other two stories were somewhat of a challenge to read. Not BAD stories by any means, but once you are used to Nora's style of writing it's hard to move on to another author and not expect the same. I did enjoy this trilogy and would definately recommend this book to other Nora fans!Book Review: If you love Eve
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the "In Death" series and was not disappointed by this collection of short stories.
Each story described a case Eve handled. The major characters were all there --Eve, Roake, Delia. If you have read all the books be aware that these stories predate the newer books.
If you are like me you start a JD Robb book and don't stop until you are done. These stories give you an Eve "fix" in a shorter formate for the times you just can't sit and read the afternoon away.
