J.D. Robb a.k.a. Nora Roberts has written another in the "death" series with Lt. Eve Dallas back as the protagonist. Thomas Anders, a Manhattan businessman, is found dead, surrounded by dozens of sex-toys. Lt. Dallas does not think his wife, Ava, is innocent in all this even though she has an air-tight alibi that places her with a group of friends on vacation. Anders was a wealthy man and Ava stands to inherit everything. What Lt. Dallas discovers is the Ava, who is playing the grieving widow to a T, has been paying for sex on the side. Dallas' radar starts to hum when another dead husband turns up dead in a brothel, minus his "apparatus" and surprise....his wife has an airtight alibi also and she stands to inherit a fortune! Dallas knows in her heart that both cases are connected and she won't rest until she's got the answer neatly tied to an indictment for murder. Are these wives getting away with murder? Well....I won't tell you the ending, but this is another outstanding book in the "death" series that puts Eve Dallas in the drivers seat to the last page. A real eye-opening thriller. She just gets better and better!Read full review
As a long-time fan of J.D. Robb, this was a must-read for me. I have rated it as "good" because I didn't feel it was up to her usual standard for plot development. I had the feeling it might have been a ghost writer -- though probably not as I don't think she ever uses those. It had a very interesting plot line with a surprise twist in the last few chapters. I think I would have preferred if she had made the twist sooner and then developed it slowly. Instead it sort of pops in out of the blue and within a chapter or two everything "falls into place". Usually she does a much better job at building the premise. It is still a worth-while read for JD Robb fans. She gives us a surprise twist on the lives of some of our "favorite" characters which in itself makes it worthwhile! I'm really looking forward to the next installment(s) on this new development.Read full review
I have always loved J. D Robb and have read everyone of her in death series. This book has been great and I can't wait to finish it. Nora Roberts is consitant in her caracters all the time. I do wish she would give Eve closure to her past, then maybe the couple could have a family. If you do not already have this book it is certainly worth getting. The book holds your attention all the way through. Great read.
Anything by Nora Roberts/ J.D Robb is Great! I have read every single book in order and this is the next one on my list. Eve Dallas and Roarke give an upstanding performance in each and every In Death book. All romance/thriller/futuristic book lovers should not miss out on these books! The price on E-bay is much cheaper and the books that came in look great! I saved around $4.00- $6.00 on each book I bought from here.
This is the best series I have ever read. People shy away from it when they find that it has over 20 books but if you read one, you will have to read the rest. I started out with Invitation in Death then went to the library every chance I got till I had read the series from the very begining. Its got mystery, suspence, romance, humor, and characters you love, and even want. A great read!!!!
