I really like this book and its another great book to the collection of J.D. Robb/ Nora Roberts books. Lieutenant Eve Dallas has to confront painful memories when Trudy Lombard, one of her foster mothers, comes to the police station to talk to her. Trudy had left painful memories on eve of cold baths, being locked in the dark, and scrubbing the kitchen with a toothbrush. Eve stops her current investagation and leaves the station in a hurry. When the station contacts her husband(Roarke) to see if she is ok, Roarke hurries home to find eve huddeld in a hot shower. Roarke is very upset now amd awaits trudys visit and he suspects blackmail is behind trudys return. Sure enough, Trudy attempts to extort $2 million dollars from Roarke at his office and youll have to read the rest to find out what happens!!!!!!!!!
i love the author and the way she writes. I love to read the stories about lieutenant eve dallas. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves mystery and romance.
Nora Roberts is one of my favorite authors.She builds suspense and gets the reader to turn the pages rapidly. The main character, Eve Kendall is interesting and adds to the plot which has elements of science fiction in it.
I reccomend this book to anyone who likes mysteries. I'm glad I purchased this item.
Since I am a Nora Roberts fan, I ordered this book because of description listed by seller. Book was in excellent shape and I am pleased with this purchase. Price was reasonable and after I read it, I will put it up for resale. This makes for inexpensive reading.
A very disappointing read....laborious, predictable, no interesting plot or characterization. Mavis is not even really in the book except to reference her, what is it now 2 year long? pregnancy! The supporting characters that make Eve such an interesting person and the books such fascinating reads were missing--for a book set during Christmas, this lack was even more apparent. I am a huge fan of this series, have read every one of them, and this book was the first that felt like a huge waste of my money. While I have always bought the hardback as son as it was on the shelves, I will wait for the paperback version of the next In Death offering.
i really love nora roberts books. i really appreciated that you sent this book to me I received the book in a very short time, something like 3/4 days and like I said, I really love nora roberts. if you have any other of her books wouldn't mind your letting me know about them
I am an avid reader and J.D. Robb is one of my favorite authors. I have the entire collection of this series. The characters are very hip and J.D. brings them to life. This product was easily obtained and promptly delivered after the purchase. I hope to be able to obtain other books in this series when they become available. I highly recommend Ebay to anyone who wants to buy something and enjoys promptness, courtesy and even when things don't go well a high level of ethics.
I love these books and the relationship between Dallas and Roarke. This is a great series and a fun quick read. Just enough, romance, murder mystery and a little sci-fi thrown in to make it a run away hit series with those of us that like all three of those genres. I'm just a wee bit tired of all the repeated stuff though, like how tired she gets, the flashbacks to past trauma, the fear of small children...we get it already! Overall though, these are a fast read with good pace. The plots are not overly complicated but there is enough there to keep you interested.
I like books by Nora Roberts. This is one that she has written under a different name and I thought I would try it. It is very good if you like suspense books.
This latest of the "In Death" series is much slower paced than the previous books. The reader can figure out almost from the beginning "who done it". There is the usual hot steamy sex with Rourke, the usual Dallas denial about how the situation affects her but there isn't the usual scenario where Rourke and/or Eve are in mortal danger (in other words this one isn't "all about Eve").
I bought it to complete my collection. A friend got me hooked on the "In Death" series and it has taken me 3 years to read all of them. This is the last one until the new one "Born in Death" comes out in November 2006.
