Summary: The Best Yet!
Review: This latest in the "...in Death" series from J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts) each story in this series gets better and better. The story begins when a murder is committed in a high-class strip club. The victim is an off-duty detective who was working part time as a bartender in the club.Lieutenant Eve Dallas is on the case and she isn't becoming popular with her fellow cops during the investigation. In this book J. D. Robb has given Roarke, Eve and the other recurring cast of characters (McNab, Peabody, Dr. Mira, Mavis and Summerset) a bit more of a sense of humor. Some of the lines are LOLer's, which I never expect in a J. D. Robb book. The strategy used in the book of finding the killer is riveting. There's a really nasty villain that all readers will love to hate and, of course, Eve and Roarke's relationship just keeps getting better and better. Eve is developing as a character with more depth, softness and humor. Of course, we wouldn't want Eve to get too soft since kicking butt is what she is all about. A great read and a terrific addition to this remarkable and entertaining series.

Summary: Bad as far as bad goes
Review: When I picked up the book, I was quite intrigued by the title and cover text but this interest soon turned into pain. The storyline is mediocre and it is almost impossible to guess the killer. This can not be construed as a feature, though. The people and "twists" are just so convoluted or plain "flat" that nobody could be expected to understand their motives -- if there should be any. I surely won't read anything by this "author" again. If you want SciFi crime novels, keep to Niven.

Summary: The "in Death" series
Review: I have read one Nora Roberts novel and I hated it. I read everything and eagerly await the new books by JD ROBB. Eve Dallas is the hard working everybody I would like to be. Her job and life have a personal meaning to her. Not always good or happy either. Meeting the right person throws her life in chaos and she struggles with the pessure of keeping her life together while she opens her heart. I love the slightly futuristic feel to the series. JD ROBB has managed to create a great cop story with great mysteries. It also uses the half century gain to highlight the possible scenarios of some societies easy out policies like gun control and other "hot" issues.

Summary: ANOTHER WINNER!!
Review: This whole "In Death" series by Robb was terrific, I bought the whole 12 books (including the "In Death" story in the "Silent Night" anthology) from good old Amazon and read the books one after the other from the first book to the last one. I got to "Holiday in Death" at Christmas time, I sure was looking at Santa in a different way! Needless to say, I am sorry to see the series end. This last book was one of the best in the series, I hope somebody lights a fire under J.D. Robb so that she will get busy on Lucky No. 13.

Summary: One of the series' best
Review: This series keeps getting better with each new book. Judgment is gripping, fast-paced, exciting, and even, at times, hilariously funny. It offers a more insightful view into Roarke and Eve's relationship, and Roarke just keeps getting better and more well-rounded. You even get a glimpse of Eve's light and childish side when she gets drunk with Mavis. Eve is looking less and less like SuperCop and more like a woman, without losing her intensity and love of her job. Like all the other In Death books, you dread having to put this one down.

Summary: For R and E fans
Review: There is not much chemistry btwn them any characters in the book. The mystery was quite predictable. Of course, Roarke would be connected to the case again. Hello! He DOES own 28% of the planet! Well, I find the book is saved by the new depth to Roarke's character and the new layer of Roarke's and Eve's relationship. That things are not unrealistically happily ever after, this gives the series a high degree of vasimilitude. And it is nice to see R show a bit of jealousy... I find that this book does approach Roarke's and Eve's relationship in another light which is interesting and intriguing to me. I have always liked R and E, so if you are like me, read it. However, if you are for a good mystery, brain straining type, don't.

Summary: This is the latest and the best
Review: This book was great it didn't lack anything. McNab and Peabody are up to it again. And Eve and Roarke are still butting heads it's as good as the rest of the In Death series.

Summary: not the best 'in death' book
Review: I was, frankly, somewhat disappointed in this latest installment of the 'in death' series. I have, for over ten years, found Roberts to be one of the most talented writers in the romance or any other genre. She does a lot of series with recurrant characters, and seldom repeats herself or backtracks herself. In this installment, though, I feel that Roberts is inconsistant with the writing of Roarke, the male lead. He is not the smooth, supportive man we have gotten to know. There is one scene where Roarke is angry with Eve, and locks her out of his office. This is a complete reversal of a previous installment, where Roarke makes a point of telling Eve that she can close the door between their offices, but that it will never be locked. In general, the sense of love with the characters was not as intense as with previous installments. The supporting characters, Feeney, Peabody and company are true and riviting as usual. By the way...don't you just love the 'Chief Tibble' character?

Summary: Brilliant series
Review: Just finished this last issue. Eagerly await the next. Ms Robb has a clever mind and put all together, this imaginative series is brilliant. Fast reads, exciting investigations and a good relationship(s). Start over with Naked in Death and grow with the series. Great entertainment. Eve Dallas tears at my heart strings! Enjoy!

Summary: Awesome!
Review: This book was excellent and my favorite so far in the series. The focus on Eve and Roarke's relationship was so welcome, I feel like we keep peeling layers off these characters. Roarke is absolutely the best male character ever invented, what a perfect match for Eve. I love it when he loses his patience and reverts to his more aggressive nature. I'm so tired of all these policically correct male characters we have been bombarded with recently, Roarke manages to have it all with a sensitive gentle side matched with those sexy dangerous undertones. I don't think any other type of man could appeal or stand up to such a strong, aggressive character such as Eve Dallas. Please Nora keep up the good work, I can't wait to see what happens next.
