Book Description:
Laine Tavish is an ordinary woman living an ordinary life in the small town of Angel's Gap, Maryland, as the proprietor of Remember When, an antique treasures and gift shop. At least, that's what everyone in Angel's Gap thinks. They have no idea that she used to be Elaine O'Hara, daughter of the notorious con man Big Jack O'Hara. Or that she grew up moving from place to place, one step ahead of the law...
Laine's past has just caught up with her, though - in a very dramatic way. Her long-lost uncle suddenly turned up in her shop, leaving only a cryptic warning before dying in the street, run down by a car. Soon afterward, her home is ransacked. Now it's up to Laine, and a sexy stranger named Max Gannon, to find out who's chasing her and why.
The answer lies in a hidden fortune - a fortune that will change not only Laine's life but also the lives of future generations. And danger and death will surround that fortune for years to come. Until New York City detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas gets on the case.

This book has 2 distinct stories in it - one story uses the writing style of Nora Roberts and the other story uses the JD Robb style with Eve and Roarke in it. This is a thoroughly enjoyable book.

Really great idea to have a Nora Roberts and a J. D. Robb continuing story! It was hard to put down. This is the only In Death book I have read out of order, but I had bought it for a friend, then wanted to read it out of curiosity; hoping it was as good as the reviews. It was!

Remember When was pretty good. Part One was Roberts story and it dealt with Laine and Max. Laine's dad is a thief and was involved in a big diamond heist. Max is the investigator hired to recover the stolen diamonds. Laine and Max cross paths when a friend and partner of her dad's contacts her after the crime. I thought the mystery of this story was OK, but I really liked Laine and Max as characters. They were really good people and I was glad they were together. 3.5 stars
Part Two was Robb's story. Laine and Max's granddaughter wrote a book about how they met and their involvement with the diamonds. Not all of the diamonds were recovered and now, 50 years later, someone is killing in order to find them. Once again, the mystery was OK. However, I just love all of the characters in the In Death series. Their interactions keep me interested a lot more than suspenseful aspect of the story. 4 stars

I adore the way the present and the future are combined to form the details for more murder and suspense

Nora Roberts is good no matter what type of book she writes. As an added bonus, this is part of a futuristic series giving a sneak peek at what technology might be like in the future!

2 in 1, Nora Roberts and JD Robb, years later... neat!

Unusual book, started with writing as Nora Roberts in present time and finished stoy in the future, writing as her alter ego, JD Robb

loved this book but then i love all of the books about eve dallas
Kelly J. (Confusint cover, I didn't want Roberts, but the story was all RRobb.
I love powerful Lt. Eve Dallas and how the complex New York City crimes are solved. If you don't wanna bite her husband, don't read these books! Nora Robert's best writing is as JD Robb in this "In Death" series of some 30+ stories to date. I collect all of the JD Robb books, but skip the Roberts, whose stories are not as tight as those about Lt. Eve Dallas - ass kicker! If the future of New York City is like this, I fear these futuristic killers who are sneaky and complex.
Lisa R. (Excellent!! I love the way that in 2004 Roberts sets up the first part of the story that Eve Dallas takes on in 2059. Great book!!!
It was different, and yet now I want to read more of them. Usually just into the romance books but this has a little romance to keep it going.
There are two stories in this book. The first story takes place in the present with a hunt for stolen treasure. But not all of it is recovered. In the second book,the story picks up 50 years later when a book about the treasure sets off murder and a new hunt for the missing treasure.
