The year is 2060, New York City and NYPSD Lt. Eve Dallas finds her own life in danger because of a mistake from her past that comes back to haunt her. This book by Robb is about a serial killer, one with motivations and attitudes who enjoys abducting and torturing women. He has returned after nine years,....called "The Groom" by the media, because he marks his victims chest with the minutes it took them to die. Years ago he killed 4 women in 15 days, a killing spree that gripped the city. When the body of a young woman is discovered marked by brutal torture, Eve knows "The Groom" is back, and this time he is after her. The book is told from the killer's point of view this time, so some J.D. Robb fans may be disappointed by that, but as usual her "death" books are extremely gripping and vivid!
For those readers who are already familiar with the "in death" series you'll enjoy this one as well. To any reader unfamiliar with Nora Roberts writing as JD Robb you can't begin to know what you're missing out on. The series is about a detective (Eve Dallas) in a futuristic setting of approximately 2059 which is still believable except maybe some of the "off planet" settings. A lot of the characters are continued throughout the series and with the writing style you feel like your amongst old friends. I don't know of any female who doesn't fall in love with her husband Roarke. They are quick entertaining reading probably because you can't put the book down until the end and then are left yearning for another.
I have the entire collection of the IN DEATH series. It is as good as all her other books. Roarke and Dallas are a great couple. The other characters are just as interesting and surprising. I can't wait until J D Robb writes another. She is one of my favorite writers.
This is another great book with the lead charcter of Eva Dallas. I have read all her books in this series, and this is one of the best. You will not want to put it down.
I buy every JD Robb book that comes out! I was turned on to this series by a friend a few years back. When she first told me about the story line I was a little skeptical that I would like them. They are set in the future, about 2059. They do have some futuristic ideas in them, but not enought to seem like some Sci-Fi book.The series is about a female detective named Eve Dallas and her gorgeous Irish multi-gazillionaire husband (who happens to have attained quite a bit of his fortune in a less than legal way). Every case that she encounters is as interesting as the next. These stories are the perfect mix of great detective/police work, money, sex, and friendship! If you haven't read any of them, take one for a spin, you will run out to grab the rest. I do suggest starting from the beginning thought! Enjoy!
The best book love Jd Robbs books. And only paying 4.00 on ebay was great. It got here really quilkly and I started reading it right away. It only took 2 days for me the finish and it was great. I would tell anyone who likes books with little sex and lots of action this is it. Keeps you gessing the whole time.
I love this book! I read all of Nora Roberts books when she writes as J.D. Ross and the IN DEATH series. There isn't anything I didn't like about this book. I bought this book because I read all of her books in this series.
This latest installment of the Eve Dallas series is a sure fire hit with long time fans. Eve does it again, and I can't wait for the next one to come out!
Wow the service was fast and the book was in great condition. The seller was and is very helpful and has tons of books listed in their store a very reasonable prices. I definately will be shopping from seashellbooks again. Thanks for the great service and fast responses with my questions. sunbug331
Great book. like brand new. Great story line. one of J.D. Robbs latest in "in Death" series. Eve is looking a case and the killer's mo is familair to a 9 year old case. Torture to his victims and eve fits the bill. The only evidence of the killer is items from Roake's shops. Can Eve bring an end before he kills again?
This is one of JD Robb's (Nora Roberts)finest! It will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. I read it in less than one day, I just couldn't put it down. Eve and Roarke are as strong as always with consistent characterization. The plot is fast moving and imaginative. This is a great book! I highly recommend it!
THE USUAL FAST AND INTERESTING READING BY J D ROBB. NOT AS MUCH EXCITEMENT AS SOME OF THE OTHER IN DEATH BOOKS, I FELT THE ENDING WAS A BIT LESS DRAMATIC THAN USUSAL,A VERY GOOD READ THOUGH.
I love the characters and find myself becoming involved with them. Nora Roberts has a way of pulling you right into their lives and making you a part of solving the current murder mystery. I buy every one of the "In Death" series as soon as it's available, then wait impatiently for the next one. In my opinion, each one is better than the one before.
I especially like the way the author delves into the minds and inner feelings of each separate character, not just Eve Dallas. And her husband, Roarke? Wow, who wouldn't fall in love with him!
There's absolutely nothing about this series that I dislike.
