Summary: funny ,tough as nails heroine, you laugh & cry,you want more
Review: Alas!, poor me, I now have another cast of charcters to follow. Science Fiction is not my usual genre but this only adds to the intrigue and vivid lanscape of the story. A complex heroine who breaks your heart with her sense of self and her devotion for standing for the dead and for justice. Great imaginative plotting. terrific cast of characters and Ms. Robb's vision of the not so distance future is well done and probable. The cast interaction is real, down to earth with all of life's little drama's and comedy's. Thank goodness this will be an ongoing saga as you never should loose touch with friends.

Summary: Great suspense but with tiresome character
Review: I have to give this book 4 stars. High enough to show that I indeed enjoyed the plot and the suspense, but no final 5th star for Dallas herself. For a book under the Romance genre, I was pleased to find that this book had a forward moving plot with good guys and bad guys and twists in the story. This was more a glorified police procedural than a drippy romance. That I liked. But I found Dallas, our cop, to be a bit too hard around the edges. Too much swearing and trying to be a male-wanna-be. Please Ms Roberts/Robb ... for those of us who are strong women, please don't portray the need for profanity and extreme rudeness as methods to get ahead in this world. Her "character" would be unbecoming in either a man *or* a woman. Good thing Roarke was around for the passion and compassion in this book.

Summary: The Absolute Best!!!!!
Review: Nora Roberts has me scanning the book shelves at all book stores looking for some of her other books I might have missed. I thought I had read all of her books until I came across her pseudonym J.D. Robb. Now I have all the "Death" series and am now reading the third in the series "Immortal in Death." Lieutenant Eve Dallas is the perfect heroine. I stayed up all night to finish "Naked in Death" A definate page turner!!!

Summary: Refreshing and engrossing
Review: I have been a fan of Nora Roberts for some time, and was running out of books to read when I found her J.D. Robb series. I stayed up half the night finishing "Naked In Death." This book is engrossing and unique. One of the best things about this book is how she blends life in a futuristic society seamlessly into the plot, where most futuristic books overwhelm the plot by focusing too heavily on the hi-tech stuff. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.NOTE TO READER IN WASHINGTON STATE: Nora Roberts started writing for Silouhette NOT Harlequin.

Summary: I'm HOOKED!
Review: When I discovered Nora Roberts was also J.D. Robb I had to try this first book. Then, after finishing it, I had to run out and get them all! The characters are intense, fully developed and the plot had me guessing. I love the way the "futuristic" elements are just part of everyday life - not a commentary on what life might be like in the future. Robb/Roberts is without a doubt my favorite author and I highly reccommend every book she has written - even those in the regrettable "Harlequin Romance" beginning. Thanks for listening! -DMD

Summary: romance & mystery in the future, neither done well
Review: Mystery takes place in the future, complete with some inovative new products. Whodunit is predictable, as well as the romance part. Neither is done particularly well.

Summary: Naked In Death is impossible to walk away from!
Review: Nora Roberts, writing as J.D.Robb, adds a breath of fresh air to a genre long given to repetition. The "In Death" series draws us into the life of Eve Dallas, a savvy policewoman who finds trouble everywhere she goes to avoid it. In "Naked In Death," Robb narrates a wonderful murder mystery as well as giving us a solid romantic tale between the world-weary Eve and her prime suspect. Wonderfully written, suspensful to the last, and worth losing one night's sleep

Summary: There will never be another
Review: Nora Roberts has done it again, weaving a fantastic story, with endearing characters.
This is one of two series that I consistently re-read because there will never be another series quite like this one.
Roberts creates a world 50 years in the future. One futuristic enough for those who like to travel forward, but still grounded in the "real" world. Roberts is a word painter, her words create a such incredible characters and descriptions that while reading I am I feel like I am standing in New York with airbusses flying overhead.
Each book in this series delves deeper and deeper into the lives of the characters, where when a reader like me picks up a new book, I feel like I am catching up with old friends, not just reading a story. Their lives and how they love is a beautiful story and I'm sorry for the reviewer who said that Eve was weak, because Eve is one of the strongest characters I've read in a long time, and just because she leans on the man in her life doesn't make her weak, in my opinion that makes her stronger. Knowing that she can't handle everything on her own. It takes a stronger person to admit that than it does to try and do it all on your own, and I praise Roberts for enough foresight to know her characters before even beginning writing a book. This will always be a #1 recommendation for me. I've gotten 3 friends addicted to this series, because as I said at the beginning there will never be another.
