Summary: A great addition to a remarkable series!
Review: Judgment in Death begins when a murder is committed in a high-class strip club. Which Roarke owns. The victim is an off-duty detective who was working part time as a bartender in the club.

Eve is on the case and she isn't becoming popular with her fellow cops during the investigation. The game plan used in the book of finding the killer is unique. There's a really nasty man that you will love to hate.

Eve and Roarke's relationship just keeps you on your toes. Eve is developing as a character with more depth, softness and humor. JD Robb's greatest strength lies in dialogue and character development with each book, you get just the right amount of new insight into Eve, Roarke and the secondary characters. Even with Eve's softening up she still has plenty of attitude and is always ready to kick some butt.

A great read and a terrific addition to this very entertaining series. Start from the beginning if you haven't yet but this book is the best one so far!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! BUY IT NOW!!!!!
Review: Great! Kudos for Nora Roberts! I feel that this is the best one since Naked and Glory in Death. This book has brought back some tension between Eve and Roarke that makes you eager to turn the page, and when you are finished with it, you want to go back and savor it again. I already have about 20 scenes that I love to re-read. This one gave me goosebumps and tingles! The mother/daughter dynamic between Mira and Eve is developing well. Eve has really evolved. I really enjoy Chief Tibble and he is in here as well. This one has everyone but Truehart who I am sure is still recovering from his injury in the last book. Charles is referred to. We got more Mavis, an awesome run in with Sumerset, and more of Webster from IAB. In this story the focus is very firmly on Eve and Roarke. When reading the preview I was not too excited, but because this is the best series out there bought it anyway. Boy was I glad I did. I can not say enough great things about this book. Great Villain! It is a nice change of pace to know who to hate from beginning to end, there is no guessing who the jerk is, just how Eve is going to build a case against him. If you are new to the series, I would start @ the beginning with Naked and Glory. Don't get just one or you will hate having to wait for the 2nd one, and buy them new, you either won't find them in the used book store, or you will wear them out from re-readings. Nora Roberts does a great job tying everything in so you understand it, but it is better when you feel you know the characters so you understand all the subtelties. Enjoy it! I know I did!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Boring!
Review: I have read worse novels than this one, but it was baaaad just the same. I guess going by the reviews I am ne of the few people who didnt like this one and I really don't understand what's there to like in this one.
I didn't even know that J.D Robb was Nora Roberts! Thank God I got this book from the library and didn't buy it!
The main characters were irritating to their core, or maybe I found them irritating because I haven't red the previous 10 or so books written before this one(and now I will not read them)
I just finished this absurd piece of tale because I hate to give back any bok unread.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Whoa baby this one is the best yet!
Review: This book was fantastic, I enjoyed every minute of it. I've been waiting for one of these novels to really focus on Eve and Roarke and their relationship, this one fit perfectly. There is lots of heart stopping tension between them, these two really know how to fight and make up! There is a very touching moment between Eve and Mira and a deliciously tense moment between Eve, Roarke and Webster. We hear some strong words from McNab regarding Peabody although I would have liked more interaction between them. We get a little information regarding Eve's past from Ricker and I am curious to see what will come of it. I wavered back and forth between who the killer would turn out to be and was nicely surprised it was not who I had expected.

All in all this novel is the best edition yet in the In Death series, I've read it several times already and plan to do so again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another great book from robb!
Review: This latest installment in the eve dallas series does not disappoint.
Every book in the series has a different style and pace, but are all written with jd robb's masterful hand.
In judgment in death, eve's caseload concentrates on cop-killers. most of the book revolves around the
police force, where eve is the primary in handling the murders.
There is not as much media madness on eve this time, but the pressure is on her to solve the series of murders of cops.
Corruption within the force as well as an enemy of Roarke out for revenge are also central themes.
Roarke's fans will be happy to hear that his role in this book is fair. The style of the book is fluid and contains robb's
wonderful ability and talent to create suspense as well as the understanding of motivating human emotions.
I can't say too much for fear of revealing the plot and ruining your enjoyment of it. Webster appears again, and we see
the usual gang of Feeney, Peabody and McNab.
this book, imho, is a great addition to the already outstanding series. If you are new to the series, it would be ideal to
start at the first book, Naked in death. You won't regret reading this series because Robb writes so finely, with great
character developemnt, consistency, humour and suspense. The plots in each book are creative and not dull at all. The
romance between roarke and dallas is a bonus and is not neglected in judgment in death. Great book! get it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: love it
Review: HI I read this book as the second one in the series I know in the wrong order but I loved how it kept me guessing as the who the killer was and than it was someone I had least expectedI give this book a [5-star] rating

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Riveting Read!
Review: "Judgement in Death" is the 11th book in J.D. Robb's "In Death" series, and it is fabulous. The mystery is thrilling and expertly woven - it grips you from page one and immerses you in murder and mayhem and the quest for justice.
Lieutenant Eve Dallas of the NYPSD is back on the job in the early months of 2059. She is searching for a cop killer, who brutally beat his victim to death in a club called Purgatory. The excessive violence of the crime and the loss of a fellow officer send Eve into overdrive. She turns up some dark secrets and confusing information related to her victim and discovers a connection to an Internal Affairs investigation. Eve knows someone isn't telling her the whole truth, but she has a cop killer to catch, so it's up to out favourite, feisty Lieutenant to put the pieces together on her own and bring justice to the dead.
Eve is a complex and emotionally troubled woman, whose determination and compassion will win readers' hearts. Her handsome husband Roarke is a perfect match for her. Indeed, Eve and Roarke continue to compel me to read about them. In this instalment they have some serious bumps in their marriage, and the problems they have come from loving each other too much. It is truly refreshing to read about two people who are as completely lost in each other as Eve and Roarke. Their love scenes vary from hot, hot passion to heart-breaking tenderness, but they always leave the reader satisfied.
It's hard to explain how much I enjoy this series, or what the characters have come to mean to me - so you'll just have to read each and every book and see for yourself. "Judgement in Death" is a skilfully rendered romantic suspense novel, full of vivid and fascinating characters you can't help but love. I guarantee you will enjoy this book immensely, so read it today!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book from a Series!
Review: JD Robb, or in her other incarnation Nora Roberts is a great writer. These books are a futuristic series, Eve Dallas and Roarke are an odd couple, both stong and alpha but able to bend and blend into a couple.

These are great books and stand alone or as a series, I have them all so far, and look forward to the next in the series. I have just re-read the whole lot and find them as good the second and third time around as the first.

I like the growth exhibited by the characters, all of them including the secondary ones, Peabody and McNab, and the dilemas and daring do the whole book has from the first page just keep you on the edge of the chair. Its not one you want to read alone if you are the least bit a fraidy cat! :-)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book
Review: This book is just really great, it is the one book that started me reading books again. Everything in it is great!Eve Dallas is the best character I've ever read about. She's great! I would really like to be her, and Roarke is just the best, who wouldn't like to have a husband like that? This is my first book of the series,and I just fell in love with it. The plot line is excellent also. If you like mystery, romance and action, this book is for you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My judgment of Judgment
Review: The theme in this book is police corruption. This is my second "In Death book" by Robb and just as in Witness in Death, the scene of the crime in this book has a connection to Roarke. He is the husband of feisty cop Eve Dallas who is the chief investigator in the case. The first brutal crime was committed at Roarke's night club with the apt name of Purgatory. It is apt because the killer seems to be like an avenging angel of death using the religious symbol of 30 pieces of silver as his calling card.

But the killer seems to be just a puppet. Dallas has to find both the puppet and the puppeteer. To complicate matters for Eve, there is a link between Roarke and the "puppeteer".

As usual there are passionate sex scenes with Roarke and Eve. They seem more like competitions to see who will submit totally to whom. Roarke is portrayed as proud, jealous and protective of Eve to the point of interfering with her job duties. Eve is still the tough cop but there is reference to her vulnerability related to her sexual abuse/incest experience which readers of other "In Death" series will be aware of. We see another area of vulnerability in this book, she is afraid of flying in the futuristic transport medium: an Air/Land Streamer.

I enjoyed reading this book my only citicism is that the identification of the killer was sudden. I wondered if I had missed a couple of pages.
