    My wife love her

    So much so that I loose sleep because of her reading light over the bed. I guess I'm going to have to read her latest purchase: Strangers in Death.

    highly recommend

    I have loved everybook in this series. I like it because it's set in the future so not like cookie cutter crime novels. I just wish she would lay off being so graphic about her childhood abuse. I got it the first 8 books it's time to touch on it but not be so detailed. Other than that, fast paced and fun futuristic tech toys.

    Great Read!

    I love all of the "In Death" Series and this one is no different. What makes these books so great, I think, is the fact that you have a relationship between Eve and Roarke that is already developed and growing so you don't have to start over, like with many other books. They are suspenseful, thrilling and even have some futuristic technology that would interest every reader! Not to mention the great love story between Roarke and Eve. Read them all!!!

    the whole series is a winner

    Nora Roberts writing as JD Robb has a winning series here. Eve Dallas is the Homicide detective of the future and Roarke is her exciting sexy spouse. The mysteries keep you guessing to the end and romance is steamy while still sweet. The characters keep things interesting. I enjoy the images Ms Roberts gives us of her idea of the future. The imagery is clear, makes me, as the reader believe its really there while I'm reading the story. Even with all the extras, the murder mystery remains the main focus. She always throws in exciting twists that really keeps you on your toes. Sometimes Eve "just knows" who the killer is, but doesn't know how to prove it, and sometimes she struggles with the outcome until the very end. Either way, If you like mysteries, this series is going to keep your attention. The books can be read in order but don't need to be to be understood. Each book, while it may refer to things that happen in previous books, will stand alone.

    Nora does it again!

    As always, every "In Death" book is perfection. The ongoing relationship of Eve and Roarke is not to be missed. And each book is a thriller, beginning to end. Don't miss it!

    Typical J.D. Robb great read!

    Enjoyed the mystery and neat solving of the case. J.D. Robb never disappoints in the murder mystery department! Romance with Roarke is
    always sizzling underneath!

    Loved the book

    I loved all of the "in death" books that I have listened to. I hope Nora Roberts doesn't stop writing them.

    Strangers in Death

    This is the usual JD Robb mystery. Nora Roberts really knows how to keep you in suspence. I did miss some of the other characters that are in her previous books. But I always like these stories. Can't wait until the next one.

    Still Good

    This one was good. It was well-written, the mystery was good, but the who-done-it has been done before which made it a little easy to figure out what had happened. Overall it's not up to normal standards but it was still enjoyable.

    Jennifer Wardrip - Personal Read

    This is my all-time favorite series, but STRANGERS IN DEATH wasn't my favorite book. Although the mystery is interesting, as always, there wasn't much character development, and most of my favorite characters (Mavis, Summerset, McNab, etc.) are rarely mentioned.

    Overall, you won't want to miss this installment if you're a fan of the series, but this isn't the best place for a newcomer to begin reading.

    Wow! She's Back

    The last couple of books in the series was just not on par -- no investigation, no real interplay between Dallas and the secondary characters. This book brought back the magic of Dallas & Roarke. We got to see a little more of Charles and Louise and some of the others.

    Awesome!

    From when I first discovered this series at the library, I loved it! I read every one that was out and now buy every new one the first day it comes out! Robb is an outstanding writer and always keeps you on your toes!

    Really interesting

    I really liked this book. I really liked the first books in the series but lately they've been tired and old. I didn't bother reading the last one. However, I picked this one up, and I'm glad I did. The story line was interesting- I'm glad she presented the suspect and then we followed the case knowing who the killer was, instead of trying to toy us along. The story line was interesting and fresh- although some of the lines get old- she stood alone with death - but otherwise, a good and engaging read.

    i brought this book the day it cam out and was totally hooked....i really like how this book went along. it wasn't overly emotional and dramtic but had enough to keep you reading. i definately could not put it down because the action and suspence was amazing...there is also a focus on other characters which was fun to read as well...i really cant wait to find out what happens to the characetrs from here on because the readers will be delighted with some new situations. All the characters are fun to follow along and the chemistry between each couple is perfect...i also like how the book connects to the past ones...i wish though that the author would put more stuff that happens in Eve and Roarke's personal life because without it the book does not seem real. I perticularly love how the book ended for once. All in all, i would definately suggest this to any in death series/nora robert fan!...trust me, ive read over 70 of her books!

    I loved it! It's one of my favorite in the series.

    The series is outstanding and this one did not disappoint. I've already read it several times. I love all of the characters and how they interact. All of the major characters throughout the series were part of this book and brought me both smiles and laugher. There was not the intensity of a serial killer threatening the next victim, but solid police work. I even love the reference to Magdelena since you do not forget when someone tries to break up your marriage--the reference make Roarke amd Eve's relationship even more solid. A great read!!!

    I loved it!!

    I loved reading this story because it was light and not heavy like some of the other 'Death' stories for a change. It really made me laugh, Feeney's way of dealing with a cold was so funny. I really enjoyed it.

    in true J.D. Robb fashion the book is well written with a some good twists and turns. Yet it really was lacking some 'flare'. Readers have come to love the action, drama and humor of not just Eve and Roake but the whole cast of characters. While we get lots of Eve and Roake we only see glimpes of some of my fav (Mavis, Leo, Feeney, Mcnab etc). This day in the life was a little drab. Maybe after the last 2 book which were intense and I loved, a break was necessary. Look forward to the next.
