Summary: Loved it
Review: "Rapture in Death" is the 4th instalment in Robb's futuristic "In Death" series, and I am most impressed. I started reading Robb's books when I ran out of Nora Roberts books (literally, I read all the available titles) and I have NOT been disappointed. I recommend these books to anyone and everyone because the seamless mix of genres (mystery, suspense, romance, police procedure, science-fiction) means there's something in these books for all types!
In this book, newly married Lieutenant Eve Dallas of the NYPSD and billionaire Roarke are interrupted on their off-planet honeymoon by an apparent suicide. A young engineer working on Roarke's new resort (where E&R were honeymooning) seems to have come home for the day, made a noose and hung himself. However, the look on his face, one of utter rapture, disturbs Eve.
Upon Eve's return to New York, two more apparent self-terminations occur, and after being present at one of them, Eve is quite sure that these are not what they seem. Eve is thrown into the world of virtual reality and mind control, where your own mind can become someone else's weapon. Eve is determined to find the murderer responsible for these deaths, but the closer she comes to the truth, the more danger she, and Roarke, are in!
As always, Robb's mystery is thrilling and fun. Eve and Roarke's romance continues to steam up the pages. Eve and Roarke are among my favourite couples of all time - Eve's reluctant tenderness, Roarke's utter devotion to his "Darling Eve" and the mind-numbing passion and life-altering love they share make them fascinating to observe. Getting to know Eve and Roarke has been a rewarding experience; one I plan to continue until there are no more books to read! This book is fantastic. So don't hesitate, buy the entire "In Death" series today (I'm up to book #10 and still am LOVING every one) - you won't regret it!

Summary: Hot!
Review: After reading the first 3 books in the series, I couldn't wait to read this book. Wow! Robb/Roberts just keeps gettig better and better. Eve and Roarke have to deal with some serious issues that endanger their marriage--but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, as they say. Peabody, Feeney, Mavis, Sommerset, Nadine, Mira--they are all back and more. And if you are looking for some hot sex...WOW! The pages practically burned my fingers!

Summary: Can't get enough!
Review: Dearly love all of J.D. Robb's books. They are so intense and she has a good ending. Can't wait for the next book. A little too much sex, though.

Summary: Roarke's back!
Review: Death follows Eve and Roarke on their honeymoon in outer space, but is it suicide or homicide? When more bodies show up back on planet Earth, Eve faces another case where clues lead to her new husband. (But then, the guy owns practically everything!) I found this one fascinating because of the concepts of subliminal messaging in virtual reality toys... manufactured by Roarke's company... and especially the growing love between the two main characters. How they relate to one another is amazing.

Summary: Hi-Tech FUTURE STYLE MURDERS....
Review: Eve can't even take off on a "Honeymoon" with out something "interesting" happening. VR is heavily featured in the newest installment of this exciting series. Power and Madness is still alive & well in the future, their just using different tools/weapons. Rougher than the 3 previous books, but no less exciting. All the wit, grit and twists we expect from Robb. Eve & Roarke's interaction make my Teeth Sweat & I like it! ENJOY!

Summary: Happy self-terminating people
Review: Eve Dallas, fresh from her honeymoon with new husband Roarke, must investigate the deaths of people who all apparently, died willingly. A "burn" in each victim's brain leads her to the fact that they were somehow, made to kill themselves. Eve and Roarke are in top form, and even though I guessed who the killer was as soon as I met that character, this is another great entry in the In Death books.

Summary: Sci-Fi tale featuring a FOUL MOUTHED female cop
Review: I have been reading mysteries, detective books (latest being "Trunk Music" by Connelly) and I finally put "Rapture in Death" down due to BOREDOM and the fact that every word out of Dallas' mouth was profanity and vulgaries. Apparently to be the lead character in one of Roberts' books you need to be extremely FOUL MOUTHED, otherwise you just can't possibly be taken seriously. (As a former officer in the US Navy, I can tell Ms. Roberts that a woman officer, cop or military, is addressed as Ma'am, or her rank, not Sir, as her equally boring sidekick addresses Dallas. So much for Roberts' knowledge of any female holding rank in the military or police.) I am appalled at the many 10s that this piece of garbage got. I will read Michael Connelly, and others like him, before I would ever consider picking up anything again written by Roberts, Robb, or any other name she selects.

Summary: Can't get enough of these books.
Review: I have read everything she has written and can't get enough. She hasn't written a book lower than a 5 rating yet!
The characters stay fresh and interesting thru all of them.
I find my self thinking what a good movie they would make and who I would cast in the parts.
Once I start reading, I put them down when it is at the end.

Summary: J.D. Robb "in Death" Series - A Great Read
Review: I have read just about everything Nora Roberts has written and have just discovered her as J.D. Robb. She's wonderful! I love the romance, especially the way Rourke takes care of Eve - with or without her knowing (I want a Rourke too); the humour - the quiet little mutterings under their breath, and the quiet smiles; the mystery - how Eve puts herself into the crime scene and works through everything and of course her aide Peabody. I like the growing friendship and respect between two strong women who can defend themselves yet not be afraid to be women and have a healthy relationship with a man. Robb has it all in her books. I read her first one and went back to buy the entire series. I can hardly wait to get to the next book. I just hope that by the time I'm caught up there will be another one in print. Whether she goes by Nora Roberts or J.D. Robb this lady knows how to get your interest and keep it.
