Summary: Eve Dallas hooks us again!!
Review: JD Robb's newest book is completely jaw-dropping! I have never been as hooked on a series as I am with these books, and each one just keeps getting better and better. I found myself moved to tears in certain parts of the book, and laughing my head off in others! This book was a wonderful read, and I am waiting with bated breath for the next installment....hmmm....when will Eve have a baby???

Summary: BET YOU CAN'T READ JUST ONE IN THIS SERIES!
Review: Many fans of Nora Roberts may not realize that her "Death" series of gritty, futuristic murder mysteries is Ms. Roberts at her very best. I've read just about all of her books, and I think that the relationship between Eve and Rourke is not only the most complex, but also the most satisfying and fun to watch. The sub-characters are also entertaining and compliment the main characters in ways that only make them all more interesting. Watching gutsy Eve grow emotionally in her personal life is both touching and inspirational. This reader can't wait to see what obstacles she will have to overcome in the next "Loyalty" book. (Can't be too soon.) Nora Robert's strength as a writer has always been her characters. You believe them. You love to watch them. You wish you could meet them. In this series, it's particularly satisfying that the murder mystery stories are compelling, realistically well written and not as easy to figure out as some books in her romance/thriller line. (Although I've never read a Nora Roberts book I haven't enjoyed.) Thanks for another impossible-to-put-down book, and PLEASE, KEEP THIS SERIES COMING!

Summary: This is a great idea for a series.....
Review: I have been into the "in Death" series since its inception and have enjoyed reading all the books (some more than others). Conspiracy in Death is one of the best of the series. I felt that the last few books had been slowly backsliding, a writer too complacent in her writing, too caught up in all her other stories (under other psuedonames). With Consppiracy in Death, we are once again put back on the path of good writing and a good story. Eve and Roarke are a dynamic couple, with a lot of support from great secondary characters. I suppose that would be my only criticism of this story, not enough time with all our "friends". Though I like having the story focus on Eve and Roarke (with some very steamy scenes) we have so many secondary characters who get put on the back burner that I wish weren't. One very important part of this story is that Eve's friends are there for her when she needs them, yet not too much time is actually spent with these characters. If you hadn't read her previous stories you would be completely lost. That is why I only gave this 4 stars and not five. She also introduces a new character (a rookie cop) who I liked, but never really saw again after the first few scenes. And Peabody...are we ever going to see her with someone (besides her current LC boyfriend)???

Summary: Sometime you forget it's fiction and not Docudrama!!!
Review: This was my first book for the "In Death" series. .....though I have been intimately familiar with Nora Roberts since her first Special Edition Silhouette. This book has EVERYTHING that I love about popular fiction. Danger, suspense, mystery and PASSIONATE love. To have them all in one place is spoiling. The detail fascinates. The language, slang, props... which she creates in this "future world" make this a richly textured read. Of course the characters I LOVE the most. Each has its own consistent POV. I immediately went to my used book store to get the back issues. I have swallowed them as well. My absolute favorite part is the relationship between Eve and Roarke. It is up front and in-your-face. Their vulnerabilites are shown in many delicious ways. The best part, though, is the acceptance AND the acknowledgement that is not always easy to accept another....no matter the understanding.....no matter the love. Looking forward to getting to finish them all. AND waiting desperately anxious for the next book.

Summary: Eve and Roarke -- better than ever!!!
Review: 8th in the Eve Dallas and Roarke series is the best yet! (And, I can't wait for the next one -- the taste at the back isn't enough.) J.D. Robb's (aka Nora Roberts) use of current situations to reveal layers of Eve's past are extremely well done. I want to know this woman for real!!! The pitting of Eve and her "standing for the dead" against the "surgical serial killer" is well-plotted and skillfully revealed. BUT, what keeps me coming back over and over (after reading her new adventure I always go back and savor the good parts in her previous books) is the relationship between Eve and Roarke. I now wish to give Ms. Robb the highest praise I can think of for this genre -- not since Peter O'Donnell put pen to paper and created Modesty Blaise and Willie Garvin has there been such a dynamic pairing -- AND this time we get romance!!!

Summary: The series continues to get better and better!
Review: In this latest installment of the saga of Lt. Eve Dallas, a homicide detective, is confronted by a series of baffling murders -- someone is killing the "dregs of society," the homeless, prostitutes: people who the killer or killers think won't be missed. In each case, the bodies are found missing vital internal organs. The case is further complicated by a cop named Bowers who has an intense and irrational hatred for her. This book continues to reveal pieces of Eve's past. I hope that in subsequent installments we'll find out about her family. One immensely satisfying part of the story is Eve's relationship with her husband, the gorgeous, enigmatic, and passionate billionaire she first suspected of murder. I love the role reversal in their marriage, and how their love not only smooths down her rougher edges, but transforms him. I'm was grateful to see the redesigned cover. It's less exploitive and more interesting. However, the author and her readers are not well-served by sloppy proofreading. This is an ongoing problem which I hope the publisher will take steps to correct. New readers: please read the books in order from beginning to the current ones. You will be DELIGHTED!!

Summary: EVE DALLAS AND ROARKE ARE UNBEATABLE
Review: NORA..PLEASE GIVE US MORE OF EVE ANDROARKE.YOUR VIEWS OF NEW YORK IN 60 YEARS ARE BOTH BELIEVABLE AND LOGICAL.I LOVE THE FACT THAT THE RELATIONSHIPBETWEEN EVE AND ROARKE IS SO TOTALLYCOMMITTED. NONE OF THE USUAL CONFLICTAND DOUBTS DRIVING THEM TOWARD THE BRINKOF SEPARATION AND THEN BACK AGAIN. IT GETS A LITTLE LAME. THEIR LOVE FOR EACHOTHER COMPLETES THEM. ALSO EACH BOOK REVEALS A LITTLE MORE OF EVE'S UNKNOWN PAST. ALSO HER AIDE IS A GREAT ADDITIONTO HER STORIES. THEY ARE BOTH GUTSY AND LOYAL. I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK. NORA GET GOING AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

Summary: Five stars are not enough!!!
Review: I counted down the days until the release of this book and I must say that I was NOT disappointed. This is the best book in the series (and that is saying a lot)!! I hated to see the book end and I am waiting anxiously for the next installment. I wish the release date had been with the "sneak preview" so I could mark my calendar and begin counting down the days . . . AGAIN!

Summary: Extemely satisfying, a joy to read.
Review: A very enjoyable easy read. The characters and their interactions are very believable and fun to read about. However, there are still some inconsistencies and duplications. Still could not put it down.
