Summary: Another great read by JD Robb
Review: I absolutely love this series. The mystery was good - I had my suspicions but I wasn't absolutely sure until almost the end. I am much more of a romance than mystery reader, so I like it when the "In Death" series focuses on Eve and Roarke's relationship as Judgement does. Things have been going almost too smooth for them so it was nice to see them working out some issues. Like other avid fans of JD Robb/Nora Roberts I was disappointed that a preview for the next book wasn't included. I don't know how I'll survive without that little tidbit to sustain me. Ha!

Summary: Done too SOON!!!
Review: JD/Nora no split personality here. As usual, the whole gang is back. BUT with even more interesting interactions and expanding of the people we know and love. I wish we could have a little more Mavis time. I always enjoy her POV. She is NEVER the flake she might seem. I liked the dynamic of the conflict with Eve and Roark. It was very true to life, even more so for two people so passionately and deeply in love. The true villain this time is a piece of work. Truly evil. The two story lines as well as keeping up with all the characters was fun, fun, fun. I am always amazed by how little dialog can convey deep emotion and feeling. Just ordinary words. BUT in the right places they blow you away. I even waited until the END to read the end. Usually not my habit. I wanted to know if my guess was right. I was glad to see that we are still trying to settle her past stuff. Now I am going back to read it again to pick up all the details. ONE detail I noticed, but may have missed was identifying one of the criminals! Make sure to make the time to read it through. I never seem to be able to sip through the books. It is ALWAYS a chug-a-lug!

Summary: She can't write them fast enough
Review: J.D. Robb does it again! Her writing style is a little bit grittier than when she writes as Nora Roberts. Eve , Roark, Peabody are all well developed. I hate when she doesn't give us a preview of the next book. I wonder if Eve will ever have a baby? Hopefully Peabody and McNabb will have more exposure in the next one.

Summary: #1 Hit
Review: J.D. Rodd did it again. I love her "In Death" series and I can't wait for the next book to come out. My only complaint is they do not come out fast enough. When reading Judgement in Death, you feel like your old friends have returned. I recommend this series to anyone who is a Nora Roberts fan.

Summary: Proving this series only gets better and better
Review: In this installment, Lieutenant Eve Dallas finds herself in Purgatory, a remodeled strip-joint inconveniently owned by Roarke, with a brutally murdered cop on her hands. With this information, Eve finds herself sinking into circle after circle of connections that all point to Max Ricker, an ex-associate of her husband who has held a long and abiding resentment for him and for cops. Now, as cops find themselves the victims of an unknown and merciless hand, Eve finds herself going head to head with the Internal Affairs Bureau and Max Ricker in order to take down a cop killer and bring him to justice. This is a wonderful continuation of the In Death series and J.D. Robb has done a magnificent job of crafting a complex and riveting plot. This story is full of action and determination on the part of Eve and her team who struggle to pinpoint the cop killer. As always, Robb is in top form when we witness the dedicated Eve going the extra mile in order to find justice for the dead. Her sidekick, Peabody, is back also with her snappy repartee though she can never oust Roarke as the champion of witty rejoinders or as a partner. Robb solidifies Roarke and Eve's marriage in a number of ways as we watch Eve fumble in her attempt to justify protecting her husband and, on top of that, the unexpected attentions of Lieutenant Don Webster from the IAB who has never truly gotten over Eve. Webster's discontent with his position in this case compels him to get back in the game of actual police work. Feeney and McNab round out Eve's team as usual by representing the EDD. Taking down a cop is a serious offense and Robb illustrates this in a scene where Eve needlessly asks all the cops in the Homicide bullpen if they would help her with the grunt work to catch this particular killer. They are all too ready to offer their assistance. Eve does battle with the murdered cops' own house who wants to find the killer for themselves but gets a great deal of support from the brass who throw their weight around when needed. I wish I could go much deeper into why I enjoyed this story so much but to do so would ruin it for you. All I can say is, this is a fantastic book that is strongly written and I hope you get the chance to enjoy it too.

Summary: 'Judgement' passes the test!
Review: The latest installment of the 'In Death' series has Eve Dallas chasing cop killers. The first murder takes place in Purgetory, a club that Eve's billionaire husband, of course, owns. When she discovers that the victim is one of her own, the case turns personal. Thus, begins 'Judgement'. Another of Robb's finely written serial novels that further developes the secondary characters of Peabody, McNab, and Dr. Mira. Mavis and Leonardo make an appearance, but it is all too short. I wish Robb would go back to including these characters as well and further develope the relationship between the 2 women. We also get another glimpse into Eve's childhood as she continues to have dreams of the past. The character of Don Webster, IAB, is brought back as the investigation takes a nasty turn towards looking at dirty cops. But as always, Lt. Eve Dallas, always gets her man. Thanks for reading! **Pandora

Summary: great futuristic romance
Review: In 2059 Earth, technology has made life better and easier for most people, but crime remains a problem as felons adapt the latest gizmos for their use. New York Police Department Lieutenant Eve Dallas overcame an abusive childhood to become a successful law enforcement official respected by her peers and feared by criminals. Her spouse, the ultra-powerful Roarke, loves her dearly and seems to always help her on her most dangerous cases. All seems quiet until an unknown assailant bludgeons an undercover police officer in one of Roarke's entertainment clubs. Subsequently, someone they must have known guns down several other police officers. Eve and Roarke realize they must stop the cop killer before he murders again. However, neither one of the lovers yet know that an enemy as powerful as Roarke is orchestrating a more dangerous scenario for the two of them. J.D. Robb writes a fast-paced, enthralling mystery with some romance between the two lead characters. The story line is spiced up by two cases that intersect with clues that lead to the final climax. JUDGEMENT IN DEATH is the finest work in a wonderful futuristic series that will appeal to many different genre fans. Harriet Klausner

Summary: An Admirable Continuation!
Review: Nora Roberts, writing as JD Robb, has once again given readers more of the things that are so appealing to loyal readers of the "... In Death" series: ordinary yet extraordinary characters and believable yet fantastic situations. Eve Dallas is standing for the dead, as always, yet this time it is for a fellow cop. Unlike "Ceremony...", in which the murder of a cop is the starting point, the murder of the cop in this remains, essentially, the focus of the story. The identity of the killer "could" be obvious to some but there is complexity to the situation. And yes, Roarke is involved - as always! The usual host of characters make appearances but most are in new and, at times, surprising capacities. Readers have seen, over the course of the series, the growth and development of the Eve/Roarke relationship - this book continues that fascinating and compelling journey. It also shows the ever-interesting relationships between: Eve/Mavis, Eve/Peabody, Eve/Mira... along with some surprises. Anyone who has read and enjoyed other books of the "... In Death" series will be pleased but not surprised - it is, after all, what we want and expect! (A well written and compelling story!) It is not a book to pick up as first of the series, the development of these characters is crucial to many aspects, but it admirably continues the series. Am I glad that I took the time to read it? YES. Will I re-read it? YES. Will I pass it on to friends? YES. Was it worth the money? EVERY PENNY! Will I buy the next book the day it comes out? WITHOUT A DOUBT!

Summary: A Truly Awesome Read
Review: I received this book only today and could not put it down. I was truly blown away. JD Robb only gets better. JUDGEMENT IN DEATH does not have the humor of some of her past books, but the story is excellent, full of intrigue and suspense. Robb further delves into the relationship of Eve and Roarke and explores new facets of their personalities and marriage. Our favorite characters are continued in this episode and more details are added to their personalities as well. Sadly, I will have to wait another six months for a new JD Robb.

Summary: Good mystery, fairly good romance!
Review: A good read, but not my favorite. It is a good mystery although you will figure out "who done it" quickly. I like the interaction again of Peabody, McNab & Furst. I would like to see more of Feeney. Story plot is rather good "bad cops being killed", and bad guys running loose. I just feel there was something missing to make it click more. Her best in the series is "Witness in Death" and it will be a hard one to top. Still, one of the better near-future books, with romance (not enough in my opinion), mystery, suspense and unknown secrets. At least more of Dallas's past comes to light with the continuing series. Keep up the writing Nora, we cannot wait for the next one!
