It is a great read. Anyone should enjoy it.

I enjoy all of the J.D.Robb In death series and have recently gotten a nook and am in the process of acquiring all of them. I am always impressed with the research that is done on each story and Witness in Death was no exception. The characters in Witness are actors which also adds more drama. Any who read this will be hooked on all of the in death series. Happy reading.

enjoy this series

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.

LOVED WITNESS IN DEATH

The plot is very intricately woven around one scene.

When a goup of people are watching the same event it is amazing that the stories vary from person to person. Even the ever seeing eyes of a policewoman sees things differently from the average person.

Ead Ra Read

Good

I couldn't put it down.

Eve may always investigate murder, but they aren't usually ones that she witnessed herself.

While watching a wonderful play written by Agatha Christie one of the actors is murdered. It only takes seconds for Eve to realize that the actors are no longer acting - though the rest of the audience takes a bit longer. It's astonishing that though she knows who actually killed Eve still must search for the murderer - the prop knife had been replaced with a real knife.

What is more astonishing to Eve is that even she believes that the actor deserved to die. He truly was a reprehensible person. No redeeming qualities. How can you narrow the pool when everyone hated the man enough to kill him?

Be a witness

What a perfect setup for an Eve Dallas case. Roarke and Eve are attending the opening performance of the play "Witness for the Prosecution," a production financed by Roarke. He is fascinated watching Eve see her first play and try to unravel the plot. When the lead female performer in the play stabs the lead male performer as per script, Eve realizes the play is suddenly off script and that's real blood. She's become a witness to the crime, along with Dr. Mira who was also in the audience.

This is an interesting who dun nit given they know who killed the actor but Eve has to figure out who substituted the prop knife for the real thing. All of the suspects are playing a role and it's difficult to determine who's in character and who's for real. There is also a classic, memorable scene where Eve tries to do something romantic for Roarke for a change. That scene alone makes reading this story worthwhile...it is hilarious.

This is another solid entry in the In Death series.

A terrific story for the series!

Of all in the Death series, I do believe that "Witness In Death" is the best, especially when it comes to developing the characters Eve and Roarke. I'm looking forward to catching up on the books that I have missed.
If you like Nora Roberts then you'll like these books by her.

very recommended

i loved this book. i am becoming an even bigger Eve & Roarke fan!!!

A good book

As ususal one of JD Robb's great books. Love the characters and story.

Another great Eve Dallas case.

I'm a real J.D. Robb and Nora Roberts fan. I like her writing style as each author. The J.D. Robb books are really interesting police procedurals and whodunits.

JD ROBB does it again and again!!!

It was a complete surprise when I found out that the author JD Robb was really Nora Roberts. Ms. Roberts romance stories are the best ever printed and yet she surpasses herself when she writes as JD Robb. The suspensful and thrilling mysteries that bring the character of Lt. Eve Dallas to life keep the reader captured until the very end. Whether you have read the first in this series or the very latest, you will not be disappointed. Lt. Dallas was the product of a miserable childhood and because of this she becomes a police officer in the futuristic city of New York in the year 2050. Each book finds Lt. Dallas, Rourke (her husband), her police team and some friends winding their way through yet another heart stopping murder mystery. In each book Eve continues to fight for those who 'can no longer stand for themselves' and stand she does!! Each book is complete unto itself and yet, as I did, I believe that you will find yourself seeking to read them all. To help you know the order they have been released, I have included them: Naked In Death, Glory In Death, Immortal In Death, Rapture In Death, Ceremony In Death, Vengeance In Death, Holiday In Death, Conspiracy In Death, Loyalty In Death, Witness In Death, Judgment In Death, Betrayal In Death, Seduction In Death, Reunion in Death, Purity in Death and Immitation In Death released in August, 2003. Enjoy them all -- you'll never be sorry.

I Love This Book

I read this book frist and have read 3 others I love them all

It's nice

I liked the book. the plot was very thought out. althought i admit it wasn't the best book she wrote, it was a good one to read. The plot doesn't always have to be a good person dying from a bad guy hand, but for the love of a child that creates enough passion for u to kill to keep that child safe

AWESOME

The first one I ever read of JD Robb. I loved it. I have read almost everything by Nora before I went to these. I was lost one day in the bookstore looking for something to read, and I had read most of the ones by Nora on the shelf. I picked up this one and thought why not. I got it home and had it completed in the matter of hours. I had to run out and get more. I have not read them in order, but I don't think that matters.

One star is too many

I am very disappointed in the write-by-numbers-paint-on-velvet quality of this highly acclaimed writer. Robb or Roberts has a knack for story-telling that would work for a bad music video or a serious car ad.

A good book

It is a good book from to cover

Not the best of Robb, but a great read!

I read the first J.D. Robb two years ago, and since then I have bought every installment of the series as soon as it came out, and I bought all the old ones too. Witness is not Robb's best, I believe that Rapture was better, but as usual, once I picked up the book it was almost impossible to put it down. The rest of the series is definately more exciting, but there is a sweetness is this one that fits in with the relationship between two people who have been married long enough to become dependent on each other, but not long enough to take each other for granted.

Excellent read - maybe not best in series

I have enjoyed watching the relationship between Eve and Roarke develop, and I wonder too, why don't they have a baby??? I also enjoy the 'old-fashioned' whodunit with all it's twists and turns. I literally couldn't put the book down until I figured out whodunit.
