Rating: Summary: Another Great Book Review: I love the In Death series, and this book didn't disappoint me. It's terribly hard to put any of the books down once I begin them, and this one was no exception. I definitly reccommend this book to fans of the series and suggest interested people look to the first book, Naked In Death before reading Betrayal. Reading them in order is always the best way! ^^
Rating: Summary: A great addition to the series Review: I have so enjoyed this series and eagerly await the next installment. The plot here, gives you more information about Eve's husband Roarke and builds on your understanding of their developing relationship. It's nice to read about married people who have great sex and are working at a continually evolving relationship. I don't know how Nora Roberts does it but I hope she keeps it up.
Rating: Summary: Great........ Review: I love this series, they are totally awesome. I just love Eve Dallas, she is my favorite character of all times.I just really love her. If she was actually real and if I actually knew her, I think we'd be best friends. She's everything I potentially want to be, she's like my role model, for real. Even though, this is the second book I read from this series, I just fell in love with her, and also with her husband, he is obviouly, what every woman wants. The only thing I actually didn't like was the ending, it lacked a little more action, I think. It was just too easy to catch the bad guy. But besides that it is a great book.
Rating: Summary: How does she write all these great books!! Review: I can't wait for the next one.
Rating: Summary: I bought them all! Review: Nora Roberts aka J. D. Robb delivers again. From the first "Naked In Death" to this issue, she gives one hell of a read. Witty banter, which I love, fairly good crime scenes, Eve and Roarke are great to watch grow as well as all the other recurring characters (and some of them are doozies). Eve tears at my heart with her courage and guts. Thank heavens, she has Roarke who understands her. Read them in order. It won't take you long. They are keepers!
Rating: Summary: Great Mystery Novel Review: Wow this book was awesome! Eve Dallas is such a great character. The novel went by so quick and the scences were perfectely detailed. I found Yost, the murderer, to be a very interesting character. The background to the murder was just a little complicated but understandable in the end. Overall it was a good suspenseful novel.
Rating: Summary: Too Much Review: I have enjoyed one or two of the books from this series and had been anticipating this one. It never grabbed me. The murder at the beginning was much too graphic. Then getting into the mind of such a sadistic killer was more than I want from a book. I read for relaxation and entertainment, not to be reminded of the depravity in the world. The tension and competition between Eve and Roarke is getting tiresome. I have to admit that I didn't finish this book and maybe it improved. I preferred to toss it and go on to something else. Time is too precious. Take a look at Barbara Parker's series.
Rating: Summary: Eve and Roarke continue to enchant! Review: Murder is once again stalking the streets of New York, and Eve Dallas is hot on its trail. An old friend from Roarke's past, a celebrity auction and a killer with class throw twists and turns throughout the story. Betrayal in Death takes readers back to a future New York, and back to a cast of characters that never fail to delight as Eve, with Roarke's help, stands for the dead.
Rating: Summary: Betrayal in Death Review: This was my first J.D. Robb book and I am here to tell you that I wasn't all that impressed by it. Maybe this story just wasn't for me. I am going to read another one of her books just for the benefit of the doubt. I did like her main character, Eve. She is a hard nosed, strong willed woman and I admire and respect that. I think that was the only reason I had any desire to finish the book. From reading her recent book reviews, I know that she is a talented author and this may be one of the lower ends of her spectrum in writing.
Rating: Summary: EVE IS BACK! Review: After what I thought of as a very poor showing in "Judgement in Death," I was so glad to see Eve back in full force in this one. The mystery was well-plotted, and ran smoothly throughout the book, and my favorite part, Eve and Roarke's relationship, really went somewhere in this one. Eve's concern for her husband's life, and her reaction to the loss of his people showed significant growth in her role as a wife, not just "Roarke's cop." Slowly, over twelve books, the two of them have manged to meld themsleves into a unit, seperate and distinct entities, but still a cohesive team. Now that the two of them can work together, I expect great things of their detective work! With Roarke's gift with the shadier side, and Eve's dogged pursuit of law and order, they can stand for the living, and the dead. Fabulous book, even if you haven't read the other eleven (Didn't that review say TWELVE? Well, they must be counting the novella in "Silent Night") books. I can't wait for the next "Seduction in Death," due out in September.
