Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Unpleasant
Review: in her manner with others, Detective Dallas barely has time to solve mysteries since she is constantly engaging in sexual activity. If you like romance novels you may enjoy Robb. If you enjoy pure mystery or police procedurals, you probably won't.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Witness in Death, by J.D. Robb
Review: This book was excellent! I especially like that J.D. Robb made a round about mention of the possibility of finding out more about Eve's past. As always, it was packed with suspense, and a story line that kept you jumping!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I wish I knew what the rest of you see in this!
Review: My husband read about 200 pages and quit and I'm at about 100 pages and that's it. Maybe we shouldn't have started so late in the series but I can't imagine wanting to read any others. There's nothing attractive about Eve Dallas and I can't imagine what her gorgeous, billionaire, great in bed husband sees in her (isn't he just what ALL women want?). Their romance is as realistic as a Danielle Steele novel. The mystery is not compelling. Who cares if this jerk was murdered? And it is truly poorly written! I'd give it 0 stars if I could!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Vintage J.D. Robb with some Agatha Christie thrown in.
Review: Once again, J. D. Robb manages to pull a superb thriller out of her hat. This is obviously a tribute to Dame Agatha Christie. As a Christie-lover, the various references to her work made me smile throughout the book.

With a cameo appearance from Mavis, the reappearance of both Charles Monroe and Officer Truehart, and the continually building relationships, now between Peabody and McNab as well as Eve and Roarke, as well as some interesting twists here and there, this book is definitely an excellent read, with a very satisfying - and surprising - ending. I hope Ms. Robb continues to delve into Eve's and Roarke's pasts, especially since she handles it with such sensitivity.

I'm only sorry we have to wait to read "Judgement in Death." The scene with Eve and the baby was absolutely priceless.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GRAND!
Review: JD Robb at her best, I've had the privledge of reading these books from the very beginning. This is just one more in the greatly entertaining line. Witness in Death, has all the makings of the "Grand old writers".. in a Futristic setting:Sex, Humor, Sex, revisiting and further development of surporting cast members, Sex, and of course plenty of red herrings.... had me guessing till the end and as always waiting for the next Rorake & Eve saga...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic
Review: I've read this entire series by J.D. Robb and always look forward to the next ones! This book was great, it kept me guessing up until the very end, something that has never happened before. All the twists made it hard to figure out. It is a great book and I can't wait to read it again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: This was my first J.D. Robb novel and I can't wait to read the others! Brilliant storytelling and character description, compelling plot- this book has it all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great as Always!
Review: This book keeps you in suspense. Roarke and Dallas are predictable and lovable, they almost feel like real people. I love them. The story is fast paced and you don't really don't know who did it until that last page!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Slow at start, but worth your while
Review: I'll say it right now, the first 150 pages of this book are extremely dull and confusing. I found them painfully slow and involving very little action at all. The death occurs, but it's not exciting. The investigation begins, but like most other mystery novels, it is near motionless, so slow it seams to stand still in time.

One thing that J.D. Robb is known for in this series is her combonation of the common mystery and the romance story. But once again, there are problems. It seemed as if the transformation from romance to mystery was too sudden, with very little in between.

So why do I give it four stars? Because of the second half. Near the middle, J.D. Robb got the story together and if flowed better than most I've read. Lo and behold, I found humor as well! I found myself laughing at the jokes; a big accomplishment for any book.

The suspects gained more depth and became more interresting as well. The main character, Eve, showed more feelings than lust and curiosity, and the parts of other officers, namely Truehart, were much stronger in the second half.

The idea for the plot was creative and greatly enjoyed and I recommend this book to anyone who likes a well-told, comical mystery; assuming you can get through the fist half that is.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A wonderful read
Review: Once again I had to wait months before I could get my hands on her next book - but it was worth it. Eve and Roarke grew abit more - the secondary characters came back out to play and once again I laughed and tried to solve the puzzle of the crime before I reached the last chapter. (grin) I now am back in the position of waiting for Judgement in Death (sigh). I bet the candy theif is McNabb but he seems a bit obvious.
