Rating: Summary: Eve and Roarke are the Best! Review: The Eve Dallas series is terrific! And "Witness in Death" is another fine installment. Although I thought the book started slowly, after about 70 pages it picked up speed and, as all its predecessors, became a "page turner." Nora continues to turn out intriguing plots, gritty characterizations, and heart-warming relationships. This book even has some witty, funny dialogue (not typical of Nora). I actually laughed out loud a couple times. The only other author to evoke audible laughter from me is Janet Evanovich -- the Stephanie Plum mystery books (I highly recommend these books to all J. D. Robb fans). The relationship between Eve and Roarke continues to evolve with this book and continues to provide a romance fix. Ahhhhh, Roarke has my heart -- too bad he's fiction. Even though the plot line is futuristic, it is cleverly thought out and highly plausible which increases its appeal and negates any misgivings about futuristic fiction. Eve and Roarke, Feeney, Peabody, McNabb, Dr. Mira, et al, are all characters that will wheedle their way into your heart as they have mine. Eve and Roarke are the best.
Rating: Summary: Witness in Death Review: Nora does it again. This book is by far her best in this series. I really enjoyed the Agatha Christie slant. The characters of Eve and Roarke continue to grow and their marriage continues to evolve. If you have never read a Nora Roberts book (JD Robb), this is a great introduction. I love all of Ms. Roberts books but I wouldn't mind if she wrote more "In Death" books per year and less of the others. I await the next book with bated breath.
Rating: Summary: ANOTHER WINNER! Review: I have read all of the J.D. Robb books, & have enjoyed this one the most. Character development, themes within themes, & a harder to solve mystery make this book the best in her series so far. I agree with other readers, it is always hard to wait for the next one. Keep them coming, please!
Rating: Summary: Can it get better than this? Review: I love Nora Roberts and I love her as J.D. Robb. This series of books is great. Witness might be my favorite, but that could just be because it is the newest. I love them all. This one is a nice change of pace. The action is a little slower paced, but the characters move the story along at just the right pace. Eve and Roarkes relationship just keeps getting better. There seemed to be more humor in this one. I laughed out loud at least 4 or 5 times. IF YOU HAVE NEVER READ J.D. ROBB BEFORE PICK UP ALL THE BOOKS AND READ THEM IN ORDER. IF YOU HAVE READ THE REST, DON'T MISS THIS ONE.
Rating: Summary: Best One Yet! Review: I have read all the books in the series in order and I have to say that this one is the best yet in character development of the principal characters Eve and Roarke. Eve is learning to enjoy the company of co-workers and friends a lot more. She is also working harder to be a part of a good marriage rather than looking in from outside. I really look forward to the next installment to see how this continues. This series is more mystery and romantic suspense than futuristic so don't be put off. If you like Nora Roberts then you'll like these books. I cannot believe she has already written ten novels in the series.
Rating: Summary: They just keep getting better... Review: Every time I read one of the J.D. Robb books, I'm positive that they can't get any better. And the next one always is. This one is no exception.
Rating: Summary: Like Cotton Candy.....Here today, Gone in a Minute Review: The only negative about JD is that the minute I buy her latest release, I am regreting the waiting for the next one. I managed this time to prolong the pleasure for 2 days. I just love Eve, Roarke, Peabody, McNab, et. al. I like to sink into a chair and just indulge. I love the true consistent vision of each player. I love the plot. I am especially happy, because I thought I would have to wait until the end of the year! Hooray for us? Keep up the good work Nora.
Rating: Summary: The Art of Murder Review: Another winner from JD Robb----as always the returning characters give a little more info on themselves & you see some twists in relationships in the nonmain characters. The end was a suprise & the overall story was excellent----love the sideline stories(candy thief) & was glad to see the Lt. get new crt system.
Rating: Summary: Another triumph for Nora Roberts Review: Another deeply textured, thoroughly entertaining yarn from the scherazade of romantic mystery, Nora Roberts. Her funny, insightful depiction of Roarke and Eve's evolving marriage definitely gives food for thought about the institution! The growing romance between Peabody and McNab is hilarious and great and her prose is as good as always. Another must-read.
Rating: Summary: Best "In Death" since "Vengence" Review: I've read everyone of these books and this one is the most compelling. I think we got overdosed in "Loyalty" with the action/suspense element. Nora Roberts has done a great job winding significant character delevopement with an intriguing mystery. I look forward to each installment to see how the relationship between Eve and Roarke grows as well as the partnership she has with Peabody. For once the story doesn't climax with Eve facing death and Roarke and the cast rushing in to save her. The end is perfect and very appropriate to all involved. I suppose we'll have to wait another 6 months for "Judgement". I only hope it's as much worth the wait as this one was. If you haven't read any of this series, start with "Naked in Death" and read them in order. They are all worth reading more than once. In fact I may go read this one again just to see what I might have missed. Enjoy!
