Solid follow-on

Glory in Death is the second book in J.D. Robb/Nora Roberts's 'in death' series. The series employs a shamelessly over-the-top homicide detective & erotic romance combination to wonderfully fun effect.

On the one hand, the answer to the murder in this novel seemed a bit obvious to me early on; it was telegraphed a little more heavily than usual. On the other hand, Roberts managed to make me doubt my conclusions by throwing a few curve-balls into the mix, and that helped to keep me from feeling the kind of frustration I usually feel when it seems as though the mystery is revealed to the reader too early.

Eve and Roarke's relationship continues and deepens in enjoyable ways. It's still early enough that there are serious conflicts and sparks, but they're turning into a fantastic team. They have wonderful chemistry that brings both romance and sex alive on the page.

In this novel we meet Peabody, who's still in uniform (later in the series she becomes Eve's partner). I'm curious to read the intervening books, because at the moment I'm having trouble reconciling her current somewhat stern demeanor with her later openness and excitability. I'm looking forward to seeing how she changes over time and goes from one to the other.

In short, this isn't the best of the 'in death' novels, but it's definitely an enjoyable read!

Great condition

I just received my new (old) JD Robb book, which fills in the series for me. I was very happy with the timing of the shipping, the quality of the handling/packaging and the condition of the book. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from this vendor again.

Glory in Death

This entire series is great! The characters are compelling and once started, you can't stop reading. I've read them all now and suggest, if possible, to read them in order since there are references to prior incidents from one to the next.

GLORY IN DEATH is the second entry in the "Eve Dallas" series and I found it an enjoyable effort. All the IN DEATH novels are a unique mix of romance, mystery, and sci-fi. I thought this novel was heavy on the romance and pretty light on the mystery. In some ways, the mystery almost seemed more like a subplot than the main story.

The storyline in GLORY IN DEATH is not particularly complex, and some of the characters are little more than stereotypes. However, this book succeeds at the level of light, breezy entertainment. It's an easy read, and fans of romantic suspense will find a lot to enjoy, especially since Eve and Roarke's romance hit the next level in this book. Roberts knows how to write good romantic dialogue, and she does that well here.

I highly recommend reading NAKED IN DEATH before reading this book, however, to understand the nature of Eve and Roarke's relationship. Although it's not necessary, you should probably read the the first five or so of the Eve Dallas books in order, to maximize your enjoyment of this series.
