"I've always depended upon the kindness of strangers."

Its March 2060 in New York City, Lieutenant Eve Dallas has been called to a beautiful home where in the master bedroom lies Thomas Anders, a business tycoon and sports equipment manufacturer, dead. Anders is found naked, tied hand and foot by velvet ropes to the bed and strangled by a fifth length of rope. Various sex toys, lotions and enhancers are found by and on the body.

The "house manager" has notified the wife, Ava, who was in St. Lucia vacationing with two other women friends. The wife, the nephew who was second-in-command at Anders' company and now heads it, have rock-solid alibis. Why was such a generous businessman who appeared to have been loved by all, killed in such a humiliating way? Was it an accident or murder in cold blood?

As Eve along with her husband Roarke and faithful partner Delia Peabody investigate and question, many unusual circumstances and friends of Eve seem to pop into the picture such as Charles Monroe, a licensed companion. How Eve and her team finally put it all together by starting with the "who" to get the how, why, what, etc., is an exciting and fun whodunit!

Great J.D. Robb writing and as always fun, strife and sex between Eve and Roarke!

A Little Slow

This must be a fluke - this book just seemed not to flow as well as the other books in this series.

A bit predictable, but still very enjoyable

STRANGERS IN DEATH (Police Proc-Eve Dallas-NYC-2060) - VG
Robb, J.D. (aka Nora Roberts) - 26th in series
G.P. Putnam's Sons, 2008, US Hardcover - ISBN: 9780399154706

First Sentence: Murder harbored no bigotry, no bias.

When a wealthy man is found murdered in his apartment, Lt. Eve Dallas first looks to the wife as a suspect. The wife, however, was out of the country with friends and has an air-tight alibi. Dallas has a feeling, however, and a determination to find justice for the victim.

I have long admitted to being of fan of this series and this book doesn't change that. The strengths are all there; crisp dialogue with wonderful interjections of humor, wonderful characters and the portrayal of the relationship between them, the fun slightly-futuristic-but-not-unbelievable technology and, yes, some nice scenes between Eve and her husband, Roarke. The plot didn't have the same emotional charge some have had, but it did have a delightfully twisted villain.

A slight weakness was whomever relied on spell-check to catch errors (hear versus here), but that's minor. Somewhat more disappointing was that I saw where the plot was going a bit earlier than I'd have liked. However, that didn't prevent my reading the book all in one day and enjoying it.

Series is getting a little stale

As a great fan of the earlier works in this series, I was a little disappointed in this addition. There just didn't seem to be anything new with the characters...of course Eve got her bad guy as always,,,, but her and Roarke are still in the place...the part about her not wanting to take any of his money and her objections were just silly... She's married to a Billionaire, and walks around with ten bucks in her pocket, and gets annoyed when her hubby wants to give her money...not realistic for me... As a hoarder of books I have all her books on this series except the last two, I've been getting them from the Library... that would be my recommendation for anyone wanting to read this one..
