Summary: Eve and Roarke ride again..
Review: The first night out at the theatre for Lieutenant Eve Dallas brings it all home to familiar territory. A murder mystery by Agatha Christie has been Roarke's choice for the needed cultural introduction to Eve's life, and when you own pretty much half the planet, naturally you would choose to visit one of your own theatres. One small hitch; the stabbing scene looks a little too real because it is. The lead actor has been stabbed to death in front of a live audience and while there are plenty of witnesses to the act, no one knows who made that switch of the knife to commit murder.
With Eve's prime suspects being actors, there isn't much she can read from them that gives her clues on where to start hunting for the killer behind the facade. In fact, too many possible suspects each with their own reasons to despise the deceased create more wrong turns than leads for Eve and her colleagues Peabody, Feeney and McNab to follow.
Reminded at every turn at just how lucky she is to have such a man as the gorgeous Roarke, the man handbag every woman in the year 2058 wouldn't mind having, Eve decides to take some time out from a wearying murder investigation to give a little appreciation back to her husband.
Ten novels on in the "in Death" series and author Nora Roberts (writing as J.D. Robb) does a sterling job at keeping the romance seekers happy. While the big clanger remains to be revealed in future novels (who Eve really is), "Witness in Death" provides enough of the romantic warm and fuzzies between our heroic couple to keep the fires burning. The future New York described here (the setting of this series) is the best peek at our future urban life that you could hope to find out there in the wide world of fiction. A nice little nod to the mistress of the craft, that being Christie, is granted in this novel and with a little updating, you can see that Eve is following an investigative process that originated back in those days. Great reading, nothing too cerebral, and another must read entry in a must read series.

Summary: I love this series!!!
Review: As usual this story has a twist that is to be expected from Robb (aka Roberts). I really enjoy the Eve Dallas series. I enjoy seeing the portrayal of the different characters as well as some of the funny side lines (like the candy stealing and the fact that in her universe Peabody and McNab don't date)This story starts with Eve at the Theater with Roarke for a thrilling mystery trial who done it. But when suddenly the actors are not moving after the final scene it is quickly figured out that the lead actor is dead and not acting. So it is a murder with thousands of witnesses. This leads to some interesting characters etc...

Summary: Where's number 9
Review: "Witness in Death" is another fabulous addition to J.D. Robb's irresistible "In Death" series. Lieutenant Eve Dallas, the hard-boiled NY cop, is back for another adventure with her wonderful cast of family, friends and co-workers.
In this instalment, Eve and her ultra-sexy billionaire husband Roarke are out for a night on the town, attending the opening of a new play at Roarke's New Globe theatre. Eve's night off is interrupted, however, when one of the players is murdered on stage in front of thousands of witnesses.
Eve is quickly on the case, and finds herself in the unfamiliar position of being her own best witness to a murder. Unfortunately for Eve, many of the suspects are talented actors, and she must dig down beneath their facades to find their true feelings and the true killer!
This mystery is suspenseful and thrilling, and will keep you turning pages all through the day and night. Robb has crafted a wonderfully original and intriguing tale. Eve and Roarke continue to develop as a couple, and their ups and downs, their tenderness and their passion, are brilliantly conveyed to the reader. We celebrate along with Eve for her triumphs, and feel her pain as she deals with her haunting past. This intense connection with the characters is something I don't find often, and I credit Robb's immense skill as a writer.
The entire "In Death" series is sure to please readers. "Witness in Death" is a fantastic addition to this fun, exciting, and utterly addictive series. Don't miss out - buy this book today and ENJOY!

Summary: They Keep Getting Better!!!
Review: I'm just blown away by this entire series. It's amazing the way J.D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts) puts out a new novel in the series every six months and they remain consistently well written. It is a fantastic combination of sci fi, mystery and romance. They get better, and better, and started out great with the first book. Each section really builds the characters, and this book I would say so far has the most emotion between Peabody and Eve. Eve reveals a little bit of a side you knew was there but she doesn't show very often! This section in the series, "Witness in Death" starts with Eve and Roarke attending opening night at the New Globe Theater (which Roarke does own) and witnessing a real murder right on the stage. This one brings a bit of Eve's past back to her and she shows a sensitive side. Another one of Eve's friends is a suspect and Eve goes out of her way to spare her. You really get to know Peabody better and she carries her own and is such a fantastic character. I love this series and it sure gets addicting. I can't put a book down and J D. Robb does a great job with the "Who done it " I never know who it is until the very end. If you haven't already, start with the first book in the series....Naked In Death! I recommend this book and the entire series...You'll love them!
