Summary: One knock-out of a book!!!
Review: I read the first three of these series before they hit the market in prereleases. And they blew me away. In this the first of the series, where we meet Eve Dallas - the woman who a bad history, protective of herself to the point of isolation, a lieutenant detective at Cop Central's homocide unit in the not so distant future. And Roarke, the do-die-for Irishman who now owns just about everything on this world and the next, and just so happens to be the lead suspect in Eve's murder investigation.All the trails point to Roarke, but Eve, who has protected herself all these years, finds there is no hiding from Roarke, the man who gets what he wants - and he wants Eve. Kudoos to Roberts for creating a cutting edge series that just gets better and better with each new addition.

Summary: The first and best
Review: While I love all the "In Death" books, this one is probably my favorite. It is really great for people who love mysterys, female leads but find that some books don't keep their attention. This series will have you up at four in the morning angry that the stores aren't open so you can get the next one. It will please everyone. For those who like romance there is a great story between Eve and Rorke and the promise for more to come, while those who aren't into the relationship aspect it will seem the romance part flies by because the story of them getting together adds more depth to the charactors. This book will satisfy everyone.

Summary: absolutely amazing
Review: This series is great. I love mystery novels but there are always parts of them I get bored with; to technical or repetitive. But, this series is not only attention-getting it keeps it till the last page. When you have just had about enough of the mystery it goes to the romance, then just as quickly pushes you back onto the case. Its a buy you won't regreat.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: Nora Roberts has done it again, this futuristic series is so fun! All you huge Nora Roberts fans out there, JD Robb is just as good! Would recommend reading the series in order, as it helps you to understand the characters better, but not necessary. There's an introduction that gives you some background on the book before it! Great buy!

Summary: The Best of the Series
Review: After reading this series disjointedly..before I got them in order, I think that this,the first is the most compelling. The sense of discovery combined with the begining of trust and romance between Dallas and Roarke is very touching. It sets the stage well for the future novels and defines the fragility of the characters as they begin their relationship.

Summary: Introduction to an Addictive Series!
Review: "Naked in Death" is the first book in J. D. Robb's "In Death" series and it starts the series off with style! We are introduced to Eve, the independent and no-nonsense cop and Roarke, the charismatic billionaire who sweeps Eve off her feet.
The mystery/suspense elements are exciting and well thought out. Eve is investigating the disturbing murders of female licensed companions (prostitution is legal in the year 2058) and Roarke is her main suspect! These two meet as a result of her investigation, and as Eve gets to know Roarke, she becomes quite sure that he is not a cold-blooded killer. Eve cannot resist the lure of this mysterious and sexy man and they soon end up in the midst of a passionate romance.
The romance elements of this book blend perfectly with the murder mystery elements, to provide the reader with a wonderfully imaginative, provocative and thrilling story. The futuristic setting is completely believable, and provides an intriguing backdrop for the story without detracting from it.
The main characters, Eve and Roarke are both complex and well-developed, and the dynamics of their rocky relationship will keep readers turning pages.
This is a truly great read and I am quite sure that readers everywhere will want to read more of Eve and Roarke after finishing this first instalment. Enjoy!

Summary: Second time around!
Review: After reading Seduction in Death, I got the urge to read NAKED IN DEATH again. This is a fantastic, in every sense of the word, mystery series. Mostly all the players are introduced in this first book. I am glad I began at the beginning. Eve Dallas is our fiesty detective heroine, braving thru personal and professional hurdles. She investigates everyone in her search for the killer and finally gets around to Roarke as a suspect. Eve is relentless and dedicated and this attracts Roarke fiercely. Their first meeting and subsequent confrontations are superbly written by Nora. I enjoyed it more the second time because I knew where it was going. You know almost from the beginning who the real murderer is but the voyage to the end is great. All the other characters are keenly written (Charles and Summerset are particular favorites) but they are all developed so well, you just cannot wait to get to the next installment. Enjoy!

Summary: Fabulous start to a series
Review: Roberts starts her "Death" series with this book. This is a great series for people who like good mysteries with a little emotion thrown in. While I am not normally into futuristic novels, this series about Detective Dallas set 50 years in the future is great. This particular book in the series does a fabulous job at establishing the main characters, the setting, and the tone for the entire series. While each book can be read individually, I think its important to read them in order. In this book, Eve Dallas is assigned to a high profile murder investigation that encompases politics, prostitution, and blackmail--engrossing right from the beginning. The chemistry between Dallas and Roarke-- one of the suspects--is aparent from their first meeting. More importantly, the mystery is well constructed and left nothing up in the air. Overall, these are my favorite characters from all of Nora Roberts novels. I'm glad she chose to use them for a series.

Summary: Oh no, not another series I love!
Review: I knew I'd love this book because I pretty much love anything written by Nora Roberts (aka JD Robb) but this surprised me. Science Fiction, romance, mystery -- well, those are my favorite genres by one of my favorite authors. Now, I just have to figure out how I can afford ALL the others!

Summary: Something with a twist.
Review: I love all of Nora Roberts books and was curious about this type of book for her, writing as JD Robb. Needless to say she doesn't let you down. I've read the entire series so far and have enjoyed each book. I'm now collecting the audioooks and listen to them at work or where ever. Though, I've read the books, I enjoy listening to the tapes and look forward to each new one that comes out. I hope all of the books will evenually be on tape. They are definitely keepers.
