Summary: Keeps on Trucking...
Review: As the latest in the In Death series, J.D. Robb is still cooking. If you're a fan of the rest of the series, I don't think you'll be disappointed with this latest addition. It's the classic mix she's been using all along, and one as a fan of the series, I'm glad she hasn't decided to mess with.If you're new to the series, stop and go back to the beginning - start with the first book Naked In Death. Trying to jump into the series this far into it, you may enjoy the book, but there's a whole host of character development and backstory that you'll miss out on, which will add to your full enjoyment of this book (and probably help explain a lot).

Summary: Can't be written by the same author
Review: I've read all the other books in the series and had been eagerly awaiting this one. While it provided a nice visit with some old friends, I'm having trouble believing it was written by the same person who wrote the other books in the series. Every time someone opened his or her mouth (*especially Eve*) something popped out that was completely out of character. The case was boring and nothing flowed. What happened?! Do not judge this excellent series by this book!

Summary: Not so much.
Review: I'm surprised by the other reviews and by it being on the bestseller list. Did we read the same book?? Anyway, this is the first book in years that was actually hard for me to pick UP. Sorry to say but it just wasn't all that good. I thought she tried too hard and it fell flat. The characters too cliche. The main character especially was portrayed as a combination of tough as nails police chief who's seen the worst of it by day and sexaholic wife at night (who at their age has sex 3 or 4 times back to back in one night, I'd like to know)- which just didn't fit at all. I found it conflicting. And the descriptions of the violence is just a little too detailed in a perverse fixated way. Not so much. Sorry. Wish I had liked it.

Summary: Imitation in Death
Review: Not (in general) a romance novel fan, a mystery fan or a Nora Roberts fan, I was given this by a friend. The mystery was of minimal interest, but I gave it credit for being less dull than most. However, this book had the key to what I consider essential to all great books: good characters. As an abrasive woman myself, I was easily able to identify with Eve Dallas and found her husband (a wealthy mature version of my own husband) utterly loveable. I became quite consumed with these characters and, though I had not read the whole series, found myself desperately interested in their entire history. Since reading this, I have now read Naked in Death and Glory in Death and would heartily recommend that anyone interested in these characters read the series from the beginning. I am now determined to own them all. One last point; I read books to my husband and, although neither romances nor mysteries are on his list of preferred books, he is now as hooked on these as I am.

Summary: Immitation in Death
Review: J.D. Robb and Lt. Eve Dallas are my favorite combination. As always, Nora Roberts has come through with a great story. I can't wait for the next one.

Summary: Another GREAT One by J.D. Robb
Review: I just finished reading this one and liked it very much. It is definitely a keeper. I had trouble putting it down while reading. She has come through for us again. I have read her entire series and plan to read all future books of the series. I am hoping that she gets pregnant in one of the future books. Run, don't walk to buy this one. It is a great book.

Summary: I really enjoyed this book... even read through it twice...
Review: and disagree with the gals who didn't.. isn't life great that we are all different in our views. I thought the character development of Eve still proceeds at its usual rate. She learns more about her mother in this one. Peabody is developed more in this story. The interaction between Roarke and Eve is solid and sexy as usual. As with another reviewer, I like that Eve's compassion for the living is highlighted with the victim as well as her compassion for the dead. I liked the scene between Eve and the coroner. Where is there "lack of character development"? I enjoy the small nuances as well as the deep ones. This book is full of those wonderful small nuances... loved the family BBQ at Mira's. Other Death books are more exciting, but I look forward to seeing how all the characters keep growing in Ms. Roberts' books.

Summary: Very disappointing
Review: This book is very disappointing. It appears Robb did not take the time to develop the storyline with interaction from the previous Death series characters. Eve and Roark are one-dimensional without a lot of interaction from Summerset, Mavis etc.
Rating:
Summary: Roberts excels at character development
Review: Another great murder mystery, as has come to be expected of the "In Death" series. I particularly liked the way Eve connected with and empowered one of the victims. The depth of Robb's/Roberts' imagination amazes me. Even after having written so many books in this series, she still manages to develop the characters and make them compelling. It was interesting and fun to read about Eve and Roarke doing "average" things like visiting friends and attempting a barbecue. Those parts of the book helped to humanize those characters and to make the reader connect with them even more. Well worth reading.
