Helpful Score: 3
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 is like this, I fear these futuristic killers who are sneaky and complex.

I'll say it again. Everyone of these is better than the last. Love this series so much I read the book sparingly so I can enjoy them and not get to the end.
Helpful Score: 1
Very good - love the evolution of the characters from book to book.

I am hooked on J. D. Robb's In Death series. I have been very impressed with Nora's development of Eve. She is right on. I find I am amazed that Nora keeps coming back with excellent plots and clever stories. I really love this series.

A former member of the Secret Service, and security specialist for Roarke Emterprises was thought to have killed her husband and her best friend. Lieutenant Eve Dallas doesn't think it is a jealousy killing, she thinks it has to do with techno-terrorist
Helpful Score: 1
spys, espionage and a security specialist for Roarke Enterprises. This along with a serious riff between Eve and Roarke which starts to endanger their marriage. J.D. Robb at her norm.
GREAT BOOK ONE OF THE BOOKS IN J.D. ROBBS IN DEATH SERIES
I enjoyed this book
every book in this series is excellent
Stephanie T. (dastephan6) -
best book in the series so far. very emotional.
Can't put this book down. ***
As always a super story.
Another great book in the Death series.
A good read, as usual by this author. I enjoy all of her books
Typical Robb; futuristic, fast-paced, gritty. Well written.
Mavis, Eve and the whole gang rocking future NYC....fun read!
Excellent read. Set in 2059 but you will find where crime is concerned things are too much different from now.
Reva used to be a member of the Secret Service, and then a security specialist until she ended up finding her husband and best friend dead. Lieutenant Eve Dallas thinks there's more to this than jealousy. All of the husband's files in his computer were corrupted. Reva and her husband had been under a government contract to develop a program that would shield against technological terrorists. Eve must solve this mystery before the whole country gets affected!
I didn't like this book all that much. Maybe if I had read this series from the beginning I would feel differently. The story jumped right in with very little set-up of the characters, which is fine seeing as there are several books before this one. One thing that annoyed me was the author used several words without explaining what they were (the story takes place in 2059 I think). Also, just so future readers are aware, there was A LOT of swearing in this book. It is possible to read this book without having read the others and still understand what is going on because the plot (a case getting solved by the main character who is a cop) does have a beginning, middle and end.
i really enjoyed this book. only took me 3 days to read. once it catches my eye i cant put it down!! this series is quite interesting. luv it. thnx to this site.
Excellent!
another good one, its so easy to blast thru her books. . .I'm reading something else in between, to slow me down. . .Im readin this series in order. this book had a deeper plot than some,and not much interaction with Eve Dallas and all her crew.
2059 NYC; Technology and humanity collide and anew computer virus has become the latest form of terrorism. Meet Reva Ewing.
Eve Dallas faces her own darkest ghosts as she investigates a double murder that leads to spies, terrorists, and assorted double-dealing.
As with all Nora Roberts (writing as JD Robb) books this book is hard to put down!
Loved it!
A midnight call from Roarke's Administrative Assistant, Caro, leads Eve and Roarke to the scene of a murder. Caro's daughter, Reva Ewing, tracked her cheating husband to his girlfriend's apartment only to find them dead. All evidence points to Reva being set up as the killer. Eve and Roarke, along with Peabody, McNab, and Feeney, uncover government intrigue, spies, and a computer virus. But the most shocking detail that is uncovered is a secret from Eve's past...a secret that may drive Roarke and Eve apart.
This book started off strong with the latest murders in the very first pages. But as the mystery continued, I had a hard time concentrating on it. There were lots of twists and turns, most of which I didn't see coming; yet it wasn't a favorite in this series. But, the relationship part of the story was excellent. Roarke and Eve are divided when a detail from Eve's past is uncovered. How they work through their disagreement makes this book a strong entry in the series. My rating: 4 Stars.

Excellent-very suspenseful.
Great mystery/crime book
This was pretty good. I liked reading the issues between Eve and Roarke; it shows that they are far from perfect. It made me hope for a good, and realistic, resolution and I think it was accomplished. I also enjoyed the mystery, even though I guessed an aspect of it.
Another great Eve Dallas book. This is #18 of the full length 'In Death' books. There are also four anthology short stories.

Great books... read them all - in order!
A former member of the Secret Service until she is found standing over the bodies of her husband and best friend, Blair. Believing it to be a jealous rage until a Lt. finds the files have been corrupted and suspects there is more to the story
The accused works for the detective's husband's company and is the daughter of his secretary. Murder strikes very close to home for Det. Eve Dallas and her hunky spouse, Rourke.
Great book. I've never read Roberts writing as Robb but it was actually a really good treat. I like that it takes place in the future but it's unbelievable! She makes it interesting and adds some twists that are even better.
another great eve dallas mystery.
Great Read, Many Twists and Turns. Has a sci fi feel to the book.
Another great read!
I love all of this series that I have read so far. I look forward to finding the few that I haven't been able to find in second had book stores.

If you don't care for Nora Roberts BUT love Mystery/Dark Thrillers with a side of romance and a dash of comedy - then I think you'll love J.D. Robb's ... In Death series written by Nora Roberts alter ego.
