Once you start reading this latest JD Robb novel,
as usual you won't want to put it down!

I have read all the books in this series and never tire of them. Please keep them coming!

Was waiting for this book. I loved seeing Eve's growth as a person and a survivor.

Although the occasional J. D. Robb touch appears, and attempts were made to include the hallmark identifiers that recur in all the Eve Dallas books, I believe most of this one was penned by a ghostwriter. Rourke's character has altered, McNab's as well when he appears at all, and Feeney is virtually nonexistent. The action is sleepwalking in comparison to this author's true style, and all the characters seem remote from one another, like plastic dolls in different drawers of a cabinet, taken out one at a time and never truly interacting with one another. Very disappointing. I've read all the Eve Dallas books twice, but if the next one is like this, I won't buy any more.

Honestly, I LOVED this book. Enough to leave a review. I read all of the In Death novels, but this one is the first to bring me to tears. I alwats loved Eve, but tjis one really brings in her history and her coping with it to a satisfactory conclusion. I can see Nora Roberts bringing this series to a close relatively soon. I have to say, I am really happy to watch the character growth. I cried about three times in this book, because she really made me FEEL. Can't wait for the next! As always, didn't disappoint!

Difficult subject matter. Author does a good job of dealing with it using Lt Dallas past and the restraints of the law. Always good to see the relationship between Eve and Roark strengthen. Read it so fast it makes me want to read it again. Already preorder the next book.

Disturbing and compelling

If you have not read any of her books start with the first one .You'll get hooked. It is a story with love, joy ,sorrow,and laughter all mixed in.

It didn't feel like a JDR story. It felt a bit forced & I found it hard to lose myself in the story like I normally do. It was ok story-wise, just not gripping.
I don't know if she is trying a new writing style or has a ghost writer, but I do know that this book did not have the normal vibe. Usually I can't put a JDR book now, I had to force myself to finish.

I read all her books and I've enjoyed them all. I think it's time for Eve to evolve. A new beginning with Eve excepting captain bars because she becomes pregnant. No authur stays on the same tract year after year. The trick is retaining the basic personalities we fell in love with. Unlike Stephen King, who changed too much at first that I couldn't stay with him. At least she could accept captain bars, but keeps to the streets at times, or assisting in cases. It's worth a try. Real life
evolves as we grow older, do we not?

You can count on Dallas to make her case

Eve and Rorke are my favorite characters in fiction. These books keep getting better and better. Thanky you for this series. I always anticipate these books please write faster

Oh Em Gee! Just when you think this series has pulled out all the surprises and maybe it’s time to give Eve and the Scooby Gang a break for a change, the powers of brilliance in the great imagination of the talented J.D. Robb says “Oh no, you ain’t seen nothing yet!” Insert evil mwah ha ha ha here…
I thought with a story featuring the wonderful Dennis Mira as the central character would be a slow paced story, like Dennis is a comfort to Eve, with fuzzy sweaters, scents of pipe tobacco and hot chocolate. I thought (smacking forehead here) that this would be a soft shuffle of a story, as Lord knows Eve and the gang work awful hard and could use a bit of a rest. This story peels back layer upon layer that opens a depraved and twisted world to Eve filled with people who have gotten away with horrific acts…until now. I’m shocked Eve and her gang haven’t been committed to an asylum yet or undergoing intense therapy by now. One of the things I love about the characters in this series is their uncanny ability to do the job and do it well while maintaining their perspective of the world around them and keeping it real with a great balance of humor and sarcasm.
This story is definitely not black and white when coming to the identity of the villain. I had a lot of empathy for the characters who found themselves cast in this role, but like Eve, felt that justice still needed to be served. Eve often finds herself in the position of having to make some very hard decisions, but I admire her strength of character and integrity and how hard she works to keep it separate from her personal feelings.
My only negative issue with this story was no Mavis, Leonardo or Bella. Hopefully, they will make an appearance in the next book to add a little color to the mix.
My Final Verdict: I highly recommend this book. It’s keeper-shelf material for me, as are most of the books in this series. I always look forward to what Eve gets into next and watching her grow as a character in a variety of situations is highly entertaining.

She never fails to keep me interested in the story as well as the characters and the next excerpt of their lives.

I just love all these in death series books. Once I get into them I just hardly can't put them down. I hope she puts more books on sale for Nook.
|
|
I won’t read any others from this series.
|

This story keeps you thinking ahead, trying to solve the crimes and anticipate the moves right along with the police.
|
|
Great read -suspense, romance, twists and turns.

Enjoyed this from beginning to end. Took all weekend, but I did it. Too good to put down.

Never get old and sometimes I go back and read the first few I loved them and how they met.
