Summary: Hard to Put Down
Review: Just like the other seven, I hated to put the book down. J.D. Robb writes a story that grabs you at the beginning and you can't let go. I came across a review of Rapture in Death and Naked in Death on Amazon and decided to buy the whole series this summer. While reading one story, it was nice to know that I had more to read, but now I am at the end and I am going through withdrawal. Can't wait for my copy of Loyalty in Death to arrive. I love the characters of Eve Dallas and Rourke and the subcharacters (especially Peabody and Mavis). You get so involved with them - like you know them. Great work Ms. Robb (Roberts), I hope you have a lot more of these stories planned.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT MYSTERY SERIES!
Review: I agree with most of the other J.D. Robb readers-she just keeps getting better. This book is revealing more details as to what happend to Eve when she was a little girl. Since I am an animal lover I just love "Galahad" the big fat happy cat. Summerset still dislikes Eve, but as time passes I think he is really starting to respect her and care for her eventhough she is a cop. I don't think Eve is cold as has been suggested by some other readers. She just has never been cared for or loved by a man before the way Roarke does. This book just like her other books in the series are a great read and I recommed this series. But I would suggest for any new reader of J.D. Robb to start reading this series with the first book. I love the way J.D. Robb continues to expand on the old characters and keeps adding new and interesting ones like officer Trueheart and Lt. Webster. PLEASE J.D. ROBB DON'T STOP WRITING THIS SERIES- ITS WONDERFUL!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Yet!..
Review: My wife got me hooked on this series and I have read it beginning with the first book, Naked In Death. Some I enjoyed more that others, however, Conspiracy in Death is the best one yet! When Eve is faced with not only a complex case of someone who is using great medical skill to kill for no apparent reason, but also with accusations of abuse from another cop, the intensity level keeps rising.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best one yet!
Review: It's a New Year, 2059 in New York City, and it starts of with murder. Eve is called to the homicide of a homeless man, and finds his heart cut out with extremely precise surgical precision. Upon securing the scene she has a run in with a street officer, Bowers. As Bowers stirs up a firestorm of trouble for Eve, vagrants and prostitutes keep winding up dead, and missing organs. It's Eve's toughest battle yet. She is up against a serial killer, her job is on the line, and so is her life.
This has been the BEST book of the "In Death" series so far. Eve equates her badge with her life, and when her badge is in jeopardy, she feels everything is taken away from her. In this book, we are allowed deep inside Eve's mind and heart. The people she has come to care for step up and show how much they truly love her. Eve's struggle is heart breaking. Roarke's struggle as he watches his wife fight for everything she believes in is equally as wrenching. I was in tears for most of this book.
CONSPIRACY IN DEATH is a fabulous book. Out of 5 stars, I would give it 10! I dare you to read this one without a box of tissues nearby.

Summary: Delightful Eve Dallas future police thriller
Review:

The killer has struck deep into the very soul of the citizens of 2059 New York. The brilliant surgical removal of the victim's heart terrorizes everyone. The police department assigns the investigation to Lieutenant Eve Dallas. Other individuals are murdered with an organ removed as if a professional medical practitioner performed the precise surgery, which is where Eve begins her inquiries.

Instead of progressing towards uncovering the identity of the culprit, Eve becomes the focus of an internal investigation. In her mind, Eve feels she has done nothing except irritate some individuals with connections in high places. As she tries to save her tottering career, Eve feels strongly that ethically she must continue to work towards stopping a serial killer.

J.D. Robb's futuristic police procedural series is one of the more highly regarded by sub-genre fans. Her latest entry, CONSPIRACY IN DEATH, is one of the better tales because the awesome author provides much insight into Eve's acrimonious past within one of the collections' better story lines. As usual, Eve's spouse Roarke adds much mystery, excitement, and romance to the book. However, this time, Ms. Robb uses Eve's past as part of a subplot that brilliantly blends into a terrific tale.

Summary: Conservative Conspiracy
Review: I recommend the In Death series for 1 main reason: the relationship between Eve Dallas and Roarke. I'm a hopeless romantic. Although, I'll admit there are some things that make me role my eyes, such as: 1. The sci-fi element only because she has mass-space travel & colonization, human droids, flying vehicles, etc. and the books are only set about 50 years from now. I don't see that as a realistic possibility. 2. There's a not-so-subtle liberal slant to her stories, such as a national gun ban, legalized prostitution, etc.(And Conservative politician or their supporters are the villains in more than one book in this series, including Conspiracy in Death.)

The relationship between the hero and heroine though are the selling point for me. And in Conspiracy, Eve is forced to face her worst fear ... being without her badge, which for her equals her identity. It's a powerful struggle and makes this book worth reading. The rest, I can overlook. It is fiction after all! :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Eve Fights Back, More Human and Better than Ever
Review: This is another chapter in the continuing story of Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her husband, Roarke-along with the cast of supporting characters: Feeney, Peabody, McNab, Dr. Mira, Mavis, Nadine, Summerset, et al-in the year 2059.

Eve and Peabody are called to the grisly murder scene of a sidewalk sleeper. Someone had stolen the corpse's heart. When the two arrive on the scene, not only do they have to confront the body, but officer Ellen Bowers, who has it in for Eve.

As Eve and Peabody begin working the murder other homeless dropouts are found dead, with various organs sliced out by a first class surgeon. But organ-legging has been obsolete for decades, because of cheaper, better, artificial replacements. So the crimes don't seem to make any sense. As Eve worries about this, Bowers weaves her web to destroy her. An internal investigation based on Bowers' complaints ends with Eve's suspension. Gone is her shield, her identity.

Ms. Robb may have gone a little more scifi this time, with the discussions of future medical procedures and advanced artificial organs and all, but she's still given her readers a story that will keep them burning the midnight oil. Also, it was nice that we get to see Eve rely on the help of her husband and her friends, rather than to try and take on all her burdens herself. It made her appear more human, more identifiable.

Summary: WOW
Review: I've read all the "In Death" books published so far and I have to say that "Conspiracy in Death" is my favorite. I cried when Dallas lost her badge (temporarily, thank goodness.) It was so heart-breaking. Can't wait for "Imitation in Death" to be published! The stories get better and better!! Yahoo JD Robb (aka Nora Roberts)!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: As the series continues
Review: Initially, I enjoyed the series, but after the 4th or 5th book they started reading like assembly line stories. (Deadline is near, better crank out another story.) I was hoping that Eve's feminine characteristics would develop once she didn't have to be so tough and on her own.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent, as usual
Review: I noticed that most people love this book and this series. It seems that when there is a negative or lukewarm review, it is from someone who read this book as the first of the "...in Death" series. That may be the problem. I definitely recommend reading in these books in order, to understand the backgrounds of the characters and see their continuing development.

I haven't been so hooked on a series since the Honor Harrington series in Science Fiction and the 87th Precinct in Mysteries. I do agree that the futuristic aspect is minimal, just enough to justify the toys that Rourke and the villains use.

Everyone is entitled to their personal opinions, but mine is this is mag, absolute frigid!!
