I love the In Death series but I found this book lacking compared to the previous few books. Not as much action in this one but still well worth reading. This series is best when read in order as one picks up sometime just weeks after the previous book.

One more in the great series set in mid 21st century. Exciting characters, some fun , and also some romance along with the murder mysteries being solved by Lt. Eve Dallas

Eve is forced to find the killer of a women she desperately hates.

This is about Eve Dallas who is a cop and her own battle against her old foster mother...

From Publishers Weekly: "After clashing with clones and killers in last year's Origin in Death, New York City police lieutenant Eve Dallas ("Her eyes were the color of good, aged whiskey and were long like the rest of her. And like the rest of her, they were all cop") settles back into a more conventional mystery. In December 2059, a mysterious woman shows up in Eve's office claiming to be her "mama." It's Trudy Lombard, the cruel foster mom who took nine-year-old Eve in after Eve killed her abusive father. Trudy made Eve take cold baths and locked her in closets, among other torments, and now Trudy wants Eve to pay $2 million to keep her past a secret. Readers of the series will know how Roarke, Eve's rich, deadly husband, handles the situation; he tosses Trudy out on her ear. When Trudy is found murdered the next day, it's up to Eve to catch the killer and prove that neither she nor Roarke was behind the bludgeoning. All the action takes place over Christmas, and Eve, being Eve, complains about the foolishness of the holiday, but Roarke et al. continue to slowly teach Eve the virtues of love, family and friendship. This is number 22 in a series that still manages to feel fresh. (Jan.)" Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

I absolutely love the "...IN DEATH" series, and MEMORY IN DEATH was no exception. It's nearly Christmas 2059 in New York, and Eve and Roarke are planning another large holiday party. As Eve deals with her job with the police department, she suddenly gets a blast from her past.

Trudy Lombard, who served as Eve's foster mother for six months right after she was found bloody and alone in Dallas, Texas, has come to her office--supposedly to catch up on old times. When Eve panics and throws her out, Trudy makes her true motives known when she visits Roarke at his office, and demands two million dollars to keep quiet about Eve's troubled past. Roarke refuses, threatens Trudy into leaving them alone, and advises her that her best course of action would be to return, quietly, to Texas.

That, of course, isn't the end of Trudy Lombard. When Eve decides to face Trudy one last time, to insist that she'll get no monetary gain from either her or her husband, they find Trudy dead in her hotel room--and her distraught son, Bobby, and his wife, Zana, are both horrified and heartbroken.

Eve sets out to find out who killed her former foster mother, while battling with the horrendous memories that surface from Trudy's sudden reappearance into her life. As she struggles to balance her home life with Roarke with the death of a woman who only added to her pain and misery all those years ago, Eve is once again faced with her past, and forced to overcome it.

MEMORY IN DEATH is another winner in J.D. Robb's series. You don't want to miss the heartbreak, persistence, and tenacity of this latest thriller!

love it

Wonderful as always! Cant' get enough of Eve and Roark

superb!

The J.D. Robb "In Death" series are best when read in order - great series.

Excellent book!!

A novel in the futuristic series. Lots of sex and violence. Eve Dallas is one tough cop. It should take more than a semming ordinary middle-aged lady to make her fall apart. But when the lady is Trudy Lombard, all bets are off. Just seeing Trudy at the station plunges Eve back to the days when she was a vulnerable, traumatized young girl---trapped in foster care with the twisted woman who now sits smiling in front of her.

a thriller just like all of JD Robb books

This was the first Eve Dallas book I ever read and I was hooked!

Christmas time and once again Eves past comes visting. In the form of Trudy Lombard, foster caretaker. Hoping to blackmail Eve and Roarke.
