Creation in Death (In Death) 91 reviews J.D. Robb
Putnam Adult, 2007
Well-done!!!
+ A gripping continuation of the series
I've been reading J.D. Robb for years, well, from the inception of the Eve Dallas series. I've always liked this series a great deal, although I'm not a big fan of "Science Fiction", per se. However, this series is set in the immediate future of the 2050's initially, so it's not so far-flung that ...

Bantam, 2008
Her best since The Perfect Husband
+ I thought it was good. + Good read!...not for the faint hearted
This is a very disturbing book, but it's well written and hard to put down. More disturbing is the similarities to crimes that have been reported on in the media.
