Summary: Eve and Roarke ride again.
Review: Future cop Lieutenant Eve Dallas rides again to meet a new foe who threatens the one thing she has ever truly cared for. Billionaire Roarke, the richest and most handsome man on or off planet, has crossed swords before with the more than shady Max Ricker in the darker days of his past. While Roarke operates only in the light these days, there are those who would like to see him dragged right back to where he began.
When a young police officer is beaten to death, every local cop wants to give a hand in the hunt to find the killer. A baseball bat has been used on the off-duty officer who was working nights at a local strip joint called "Purgatory". For a man known to have no enemies, the brutality of his killing stuns everyone. It takes some serious digging from Eve and her sidekick Officer Peabody to find a connection to the notorious Max Ricker. The death of another officer suspected to be on the take to Ricker links the two cases to police internal affairs who would like the whole investigation squashed. Add a troubled police captain into the mix, and there's a whole lot of people who feature on Eve's suspect list.
The relationship scenes in "Judgment in Death" are some of the best in the series. If you are an Eve and Roarke fan you'll delight in the spats the dynamic duo have with the additional element of a third party -Eve's pre-marital one night stand, Webster. The crime plotline meanders to the point that a resolution is just a bonus. Robb is at the top of her form here when it comes to her created 2058 environment of New York and the sharp, witty characters she has populated it with. Great fun read for fans and would definitely hook in the new reader who has heard great things of the romantic suspense contained in the hugely successful '"in Death" series.

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!

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.
