That said, LOYALTY IN DEATH was certainly a wonderful read. It was tight and suspenseful and for once I didn't predict the ending before Ms. Robb revealed it. Please keep writing the IN DEATH series, J. D.; just don't follow the formula too closely. Unpredictability is fun! (And before you retire Eve -- which unfortunately has to happen some day -- please let us see her and Roarke with children! I'd love to see rough, tough Eve pregnant.)
