Strangers in Death/ JD Robb

I am hooked on this series by JD Robb/Nora Roberts and this latest addition is as fresh and exciting as the first book and everyone after. Lt. Eve Dallas is a Homocide detective in the near future, 2060 and solves unusual murders with the help of a colorful group of support staff. The love of Lt. Dallas life is a self made multibillionare, her husband Roarke. Both were on their own and alone until finding each other, healing the void left in each by an abusive and neglectful parent. These books are fast moving, easy to read and addictive.

Strangers in Death

As always Nora Roberts aka J.D. Robb, has written another great murder/mystery book, with all the characters we've come to know and love. She has the best sense of humor and the most human characters in her books. You can almost see it happen write before your very eyes. I tell everyone I know to read this series of books if they get a chance, I think there the best!!!

latest J>D> Robb

Again the story is facinating and holds your attention all the way through. I did not want to put it down!J.D. Robb has such a mind for detail and makes me look forward to each book. When describing things in the future it is like you want to have that item today and can't wait for it to get here. I like how each book is a story in and of itself but has charactors that continue on in each book.

Appearance Makes the Suspect

Strangers in Death is a fascinating police procedural that relies on Eve Dallas's thoughtful consideration of what she observes. While traditional mysteries have often relied on a sleuth who could spot details and their significance well ahead of everyone else, J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts) draws on the female perspective more than in any other mystery I've ever read to unravel a complex case. Taking that slant made the story even fresher than placing it into the year 2060 did.

In magic, most of the illusions are based on drawing your attention toward what you are supposed to see . . . and away from what you aren't supposed to see. Strangers in Death employs magic legerdemain to create an impression of a crime that must have been done by a kinky lover while the reality is something else.

The story is a little slow in the beginning as Eve Dallas tries to make sense of an incongruous crime scene. The pace and my interest quickly picked up as the preliminaries were done and the hard work of uncovering what isn't supposed to be seen began.

Eve's interactions with her wealthy husband, Roarke, made the book much more lively than it would otherwise been. The contrasts between their relationship and the marriage of Thomas and Ava Anders also make for good reading.

I haven't read any of the earlier books in the series so a fair amount of the character development didn't make a lot of sense to me. If you are a long-time fan of the series, you may like the book better than I did. On the other hand, I didn't find the book to be too hard to appreciate for one in a long-running series. So newcomers to "in Death" books should be encouraged to sample this one.

Watch out who you hang around with!

JD Robb does it again, better.

I always eagerly await a new JD Robb book. There is the thought in the back of one's mind - can she do it again, keep up the superb storylines, find new ways for Eve and Roark to shine ... and each new novel reinforces the concept - that YES, she can. This is one of the better ones and worth reading.
