As long Roarke and Eve still there, I'm in!! ( of course others like McNab, Peabody, Nadine, Feeney, Mavis, Leonardo, Trueheart, Baxter, Dr Mira, ahhh, all of them!)
And many, many monkey sex between them ;) (yes, a girl can dream)

I can't believe after so many books I'm still waiting at the edge of my seat for another story. I reluctantly read Naked in Death about a year ago and have since read every single book in the series. I love Eve and Roarke and can not wait to hear more about them and the rest of their mysteries.

Amazing as usual

3.5 Stars. Another big murder, or in this case, a whoooole bunch of murders; and Eve catches the case. As always, it's a interesting ride, and a very good plot to set up the book. After 35 books, Robb has the knack down pat for knocking out a good story. It's always fun to watch Eve pull at the threads of a case until she finds the one to tug to find the answer; and as always, she gets to take down a smug villain who thinks he won't get caught.

It was a good, solid book in the series; but not one More...

I really enjoy these books - even if I can't quite believe I'm up to number 44 in the series (if you count the short stories). I don't read them for depth or amazing plots with astonishing twists. I read them because I love the opportunity to hang out with Eve and Roarke. I generally read them quickly and find them easy, so all I have to do is sit back and enjoy myself.

I said a few reviews back that I take a lot of notes to help me remember stuff. With these, I don't. It's not about that (althou More...

I enjoyed this one immensely. As good as any other "in death" book. As usual, Eve Dallas must confront a creative method of killing, and this time it doesn't just kill one or two. Without giving anything away I have to say it became one of the most horrific books of the series because of this, but one of the most satisfying in terms of the workings of the NYPSD with the usual help of Roarke.

I think one of the best parts of the book for me was the subtle shift in Eve's relationship with Summerset More...

DELUSION IN DEATH (Pub. 2012) by J.D. Robb a/k/a Nora Roberts is the 34th book in the author's In Death series. The stories are centered around Eve Dallas, a hard-nosed tough-talking soft-centered murder cop working the Big Apple. Lieutenant Dallas comes to us from a severely abusive childhood, a nightmare which she killed to escape that still haunts her far to frequently. Poetic justice has blessed her with marriage to the world's richest and very handsome man, Roarke. These two make a surprisi More...

Eve Dallas faces one of the most tragic cases to date when she's called to the scene of a nightmare. The patrons of a bar on the lower west side of Manhattan seem to have gone berserk during happy hour, attacking each other, leaving 83 people dead in the space of twelve minutes. It wasn't tough to figure out there was some type of substance at play and the challenge was to figure out not only who did this but how and with what.

This is another one of the outstanding police procedurals in the seri More...

Man, this one grabbed me. The method of the murders is freaking scary, and I'm sorta surprised they decided to release it on 9/11. I think Robb did a great job of capturing that imminent tension that existed here during that time period, that sort of terrifying anticipation for something you hope will never come.

This book focused more on the mystery and would probably do fairly well as a stand-alone. Past cases are name-dropped, especially Loyalty in Death and New York to Dallas, but it's easy More...

Blue Ribbon Rating: 4.5 out of 5
Original Review Link

It’s an ordinary enough scenario; happy-hour at a downtown bar, where white collar workers meet and relax for an after-work drink. Then the bar’s patrons and staff start to get headaches…and something goes horribly wrong. Twelve minutes later, over eighty people are dead.

Lieutenant Eve Dallas thought she’d seen it all, but nothing could prepare her for the crime scene she steps into. The victims were all killed by each other and what few surviv More...

I did another back to back reading of an author I love recently.

JD Robb has come to be one of my favorite crime authors. Her “In Death” series boasts 36 (soon to be 37) full length novels, 2 novellas, and 9 stories included in anthologies since Naked in Death was first published back in 1995.

It’s taken some time but I can happily say that I have read all but one of her books (the most recent being my only missing one). The individual stories can stand alone as singular great novels, but reading More...

Set in 2060,in a bar on Manhattan’s Lower West Side, patrons are suddenly enraged and turn on each other, killing everyone they can. Eve Dallas of the New York Police and Security Department investigates, even though her husband, Roarke, is the owner of On the Rocks. The next day a local cafe is targeted with results like that of the cafe. Eve and her fellow officers discover that they are dealing with an airborne combination of chemicals and illegal drugs. Eve struggles to stop the killer befor More...

An after-work bar visit turns into a violent slaughter when strangers and friends turn on each other. A dangerous stew of drugs, airborne, caused the terrifying hallucinations and rage. It is up to Eve Dallas and her fellow cops to discover the who and why. The trail leads back to events and individuals from the Urban Wars as well as to the survivors and victims of that time.

This is the 35th entry into the Eve Dallas series. While I may not always find the mystery to be hard to solve, it is the More...

Picture the scene: Early evening. A busy day in work is over and you’re enjoying happy hour with friends. The blind date between your best friend and your boyfriend’s best friend is working out just fine; it is a good evening. And then you start snapping at your friend, at strangers and finally at your boyfriend. You pick up a fork and stick it in your boyfriend’s eye… and then all hell breaks lose.

When Eve Dallas arrives on the scene there are 80 dead bodies and about 10 survivors have been tak More...

"Delusion in Death" by J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts) is part of her delightful futuristic series that features Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her oh so yummy spouse, Roarke. This imaginative series has remarkable advances in transportation and communication yet still has its share of the evil that mankind can perpetrate on itself.

This latest addition to the series involves a horrific chemical cocktail that removes all inhibition on its victims while escalating hostilities to a killing level very quickly. More...

My Rating: ★★★½

Book Description:
After years on the force, Eve Dallas didn't think she could be shocked anymore... until now.

It was just another after-work happy-hour bar downtown, where business professionals unwound with a few drinks, complained about the boss, maybe hooked up with someone for the night. Until something went terribly wrong. At first it was just a friction in the air. The noise intensified. The crow seemed oppressive. some sharp words were exchanged, some pushing and shoving.

Th More...

Office workers and executives alike often like to go to a nearby bar to unwind after a long work-day. This day was no different in the crowded New York establishment. No different until everyone started killing each other for now apparent reason. Twelve minutes later 80 people are dead. Enter Eve Dallas and her entourage. Discovering the manner behind the killings is as puzzling as the reason. Of course Eve, et al, persevere and eventually discover a trail leading all the way back to the Urban W More...

I can't believe this is #35 and I have read everyone and eagerly anticipate the next. Nora Roberts, AKA J.D. Robb has written more than 200 books and has over 400 million in print. I have read few NR, but love the Robb books. The heroine, Eve Dallas is a flawed hero, smart, attractive, sometimes culturally clueless, but can get into the mind of a criminal and solve the cases. With her rich, handsome, sexy, loving husband Roarke by her side, and wonderful secondary characters, Peabody, Macnab, Fe More...

Great series. Always look forward to reading another new adventure with Eve and Roarke. This one keeps up the great story lines.

When Eve and her team are called in to investigate an incident at a popular after-work bar, the scene they encounter is horrific. Some 80 people are dead, almost everyone who was in the bar at the time, and they have suffered horrific injuries.

It soon becomes obvious that it wasn't some sort of explosion. It's even worse: these people suddenly started attacking each other with anything at hand, fighting to the death within a matter of minutes. The very few survivors report a sudden headache and More...

A drug that turns people homicidal is unleashed in crowded public spaces, resulting in short but devastating massacres.

A decent installment, with a thriller of a plot (though oddly low on the suspense factor, given how quickly the perp is spotted). Other than Eve warily working with a Homeland Security representative--a pretty kick-ass and hopefully a to-be-recurring character--there wasn't much new, and her processing of the events in New York to Dallas remains ongoing. One thing I did think wa More...

Finally got to read "Delusion In Death" by J.D. Robb! It sucks when you're 54th in line at the library...But it was well worth the wait. I consider this book to be a "back to basics" for Eve and company after the heavy "New York To Dallas" and its light, comedic follow-up "Celebrity In Death" (both of which were five star books for me). This "In Death" has to do with a horrific chemical cocktail that is linked to fringe cult group Red Horse* from the Urban Wars. Someone has the recipe and is dis More...

The latest in the In Death series does not fail to deliver. When a killer(s) cause a bar full of people to become enraged and hallucinogenic & kill each other during a late afternoon happy hour, Eve is on the case once again working day & night to discover who would commit such a horrific act causing the deaths of 83 people at each other’s hands. Is it terrorism or the acts of one or more disgruntled, evil individuals? The bar, owned by Roarke, naturally throws Roarke once again into the More...

Blurb: It was just another after-work happy-hour bar downtown, where business professionals unwound with a few drinks, complained about the boss, maybe hooked up with someone for the night. Until something went terribly wrong. At first it was just a friction in the air. The noise intensified. The crowd seemed oppressive. Some sharp words were exchanged, some pushing and shoving.
The the madness descended. And after twelve minutes of chaos and violence, eighty people lay dead.

As always, this was a More...

This was another strong entry in the long-running In Death series. By internal chronology, Eve and Roarke have only known each other for two and a half years. I have been reading these books since 1995.

This episode is more of a police procedural than has been the case in recent novels. Eve is called in to work a case where people in one of Roarke's bars went crazy and killed each other - eighty-three of them. Someone released an air-borne drug cocktail with LSD and other components that caused More...

Originally published at Reading Reality

The near-term future looks pretty bleak in the rear-view mirror of Robb's 2058. Between our now and Eve Dallas' then lurks the devastation that goes by the seemingly innocuous name, "the Urban Wars".

There are two types of Dallas and Roarke stories, ones where the case seriously delves into the skeletons in one or both of their closets, and there are plenty, and the current case rattles loose a lot of personal trauma. New York to Dallas was one of those, and More...

This is #35 in this series and I'm continually amazed at how Ms. Robb (aka Nora Roberts) is able to come up with new ideas that stay strong. This book didn't have the humor of some of the other books, but when dealing with the deaths of over 120 people, not much to laugh about. One of the strongest elements for me was that Eve Dallas is finally coming to grips with her early history with her parents. In the time of the novels it's just over two years, but for those of us who read them it's been More...

Full review on Reader's Dialogue: http://readersdialogue.blogspot.com/2...

What I love about this series is the ebb and flow of the continuity. Just looking at the last three books - New York to Dallas was intense, both in the case and in the emotional trauma Eve had to deal with. Then Celebrity in Death was more low-key, the case not having a lot of violence, Eve's personal life taking a back burner for once, not too many nightmares, no fights with Roarke. And then - bam! The opening scene of De More...

Yay! Another In Death novel is out. Funnily enough, this new Eve Dallas/Roarke mystery which included a terrorism storyline was released on 9/11. Coincidence? I don't think so. As Fox Mulder once said, "If coincidences are just coincidences, why do they feel so contrived?"

This was one of her best stories. The romance and love story was very subtextual in this one. The main storyline really took center stage. Of course, I always love these. I read them over and over. I also read them immediately More...
