Not My Favorite, But Still Good

This is my all-time favorite series, but STRANGERS IN DEATH wasn't my favorite book. Although the mystery is interesting, as always, there wasn't much character development, and most of my favorite characters (Mavis, Summerset, McNab, etc.) are rarely mentioned.

Overall, you won't want to miss this installment if you're a fan of the series, but this isn't the best place for a newcomer to begin reading.

What does Eve do with her money?? Is she a drug addict?

Fifty years into the future, she's a Lt. with a dozen years experience. Conservatively, she'd have to be making at least 60K a year. For two years, she has been married to Roarke and she therefore hasn't been paying rent, groceries or utility bills. She has no overhead costs and we are supposed to believe that she is "tapped" between paydays? Even if she refuses to touch Roarke's money, we are supposed to believe she gets stretched between paydays? I don't think so. Her explanation made no sense. She had to pay a weasel? We've seen her bribe weasels, it doesn't cost her 4 grand a month. These asinine character expositions that are completely devoid of logic and reason and the continued need to show Eve as some kind of saint-like moral paragon and make her the exact opposite of whatever Evildoer she is fighting at the time are what is destroying the series. It's the kind of blatant "Duh" that takes you out of the book. And the the way the "dilemna" was solved---with a complete "deus ex machina" happening of extreme coincidence was just cheap.

Great as always

Great as all of the J.D. Robb books. I love the way she develops her characters through the series. It's subtle, without interferring with the plot, but always there. She shows a terrific understanding of human nature and of both good and evil and how they interplay in the world. Her perception of the world of the future is amazing.

Nora Robberts (J.D. Robb) is always welcome in my home. The only problem is waiting for the next book in the series to be available!

J. D. Robbs Stranger In Death #26

J. D. Robb continues to give her readers an excellent read. Eve Dallas is always interesting, clever and passionate in her job and personal life.

A surprise for me....

This is the newest book in my collection of J.D. Robb. As much as I would love to rave on it, just can't. Unfortunately this one was too predictable. The only one I have not completely enjoyed.
