THIS ONE GRABS YOU AND DOESN'T LET GO!

I HAVE AN EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND IN LAW ENFORCEMENT(15 YEARS TO BE EXACT),SO TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO LIVES AND WORKS IT 24/7...THIS IS A GREAT BOOK!

A series that continues to get better

Nora Roberts, aka JD Robb had me riveted to the latest installment in the LT. Eve Dallas series. Thought it's not terribly difficult to figure out the who in whodunit, it's the why and how. Roberts leaves clues for avid readers who may or may not pick up on them and weaves a tale that will keep readers on edge.
A former foster mother of Eve's is murdered in this installment. And Eve is the primary on the investigation. With minimal help from Roarke - unusual compared to the past few in the series - Eve wraps up the case in her usual cool, cop-like fashion.
I love how Roberts has developed the relationship with Eve and her husband, Roarke and hope that in the next few books they have a baby. A pregnant Eve and expectant Roarke would give this series an added zing. And likely push the herione to pursue Captain status, a desk job she isn't quite yet ready for.
For those who have not kept up, you can read these out of order. Roberts is deft with sentences that clue you in on the past cases that have tied the relationships of Eve and Roarke and their friends and coworkers throughout the series.

An okay read but not the best

I was very much looking forward to "Memory in Death" by J.D. Robb, but after finishing it I could have waited for the paperback. Eve and Peabody are in the middle of investigating the death of a santa who fell thirty-seven stories when Trudy Lombard, Eve's first foster mother show up. It quickly becomes clear that Trudy looking for money. So when Roarke and Eve go to tell Trudy to get out of town they find her dead. So beings the investigation into Trudy's to see who else she backmailed and who wanted her dead.
This just wasn't one of Ms.Robbs best book. The ending was just to neat and the characters were not that interesting this time around. I am hoping that "Born in Death" will be better.

Memory In Death

Wonderful book!. Eve Dallas is a tough, no-nonsense New York City cop but, in this book, we watch Eve grow as a woman, wife, friend as well as a police officer. Susan Erikson does a superb job as narrator of the audiobook. Erikson gives each character's voice a different nuance; she is especially remarkable in showing Eve's vulnerability as well as her heart.

A Fond Memory

I just want to say that this story is above and beyond the last two - Survivor & Origin. I enjoy all of the "In-Death" books but some are definitely better than others. "Memory" takes place in the year 2059 and it is about a week prior to Eve & Roarke's second Christmas together. Eve is totally caught off guard when one Trudy Lombard, Eve's foster care mother from when she was 9 years old, just shows up in her office at Cop Central. Needless to say, Trudy was one nasty foster care parent and Eve's memories of her are more like nightmares. Trudy tries to blackmail Eve into wangling $2,000,000 out of her husband under the pretext that she owes Trudy for taking care of her when she was a child (of course Trudy's idea of care was starvation and cold baths). When Eve throws her out of her office, she goes to Roarke. That little meeting in Roarke's office is really quite amusing. The story takes off from there as Trudy ends up dead in her hotel room and the rest is a who, why and how "done it," leaving our favorite Lieutenant with more to accomplish during the holiday season than just shopping. The supporting characters are all here, Peabody, not much on McNab, however, they are off to Scotland for the holidays and Peabody is a little anxious about meeting McNab's family for the first time. Of course, Mira and Feeney are highlighted as well as Baxter and Truehart. We see Eve's character developing nicely. When Christmas finally does roll around, Eve doesn't even baulk at the elaborate gifts Roarke bestows upon her (a total change from her attitude in "Glory in Death"). Eve herself is quite the thoughtful gift-giver. As always, there is a lot of action and comedy and you can't help but laugh at Eve's way of looking at the world. Thank you Nora for another great "In-Death" book. I saw where some of your books will be made into movies for Lifetime TV. They need to make a movie based on one of the "In Death" books; it would surely be a winner.
