Seduction in Death (In Death #13)
by
J.D. Robb
Dante had been courting his victim in cyberspace for weeks before meeting her in person. A few sips of wine and a few hours later, she was dead. The murder weapon: a rare, usually undetectable date-rape drug with a street value of a quarter million dollars. Detective Eve Dallas is playing and replaying the clues in her mind. The candlelight, the music, the rose petals stre...more

This being the thirteenth book of an amazing series, I'm having trouble thinking up new ways to praise every next one, no matter how very different they are all from one another. (I can't imagine writing a review when I reach book 30-something)
This one is sort of a lucky read for me, because I was gone for two weeks and out of the several books from the series I saw in one bookstore, this was one. Being the one I've reached I couldn't believe my luck and bought the paperback.

I started listening to this book & had to do a double take on the narrator. Yep, it's the same woman as all the previous books . . . but she's completely changed the "voices" for all the characters.
I miss Peabody's gruff character voice. Eve sounds a lot "weaker", Ian is a lot different. Feeney & Roarke are the only recognizable characters she's reading. I REALLY hope the rest of the books aren't like this one. Very disappointed so far with this reading.

This is the 13th book in the In Death series.
Early June 2059 and Eve is called to the scene where a young woman has leaped from her own balcony to her death. Upon investigating the woman, Eve learns that the woman had just ended the evening with a date she'd met online. The scene of her apartment showed evidence of romance: pink rose petals, red wine, candles and romantic music. But wait....hold the phone.... there was evidence of date rape drugs in the woman's system (colorfully know as Whore a...more

Sexual homicides have always been a sore spot for Eve. It dredges up the past; that's something she'd rather not remember.
It's still rape even if the women wants to have sex if she's drugged. These victims have been seduced with poetry and roses. They've been romanced.
Her bull-headed persistence to catch the killer and her uncanny ability to get into their heads enables her to see things other people might miss.
But it isn't enough to just know the killer. It's not even enough to catch them. S...more

As always, a very pleasant visit with Eve and Roarke. While the murder mystery is solid, my feeling in this book was that it was secondary to the further development of Eve and Roarke's relationship. There have been some lovely touches in previous books of Eve's attempts to do the 'relationship thing' and that goes up a level in this book. As her first wedding anniversary approaches, Eve is finally beginning to find some security in her relationship with Roarke, even if she still feels she doesn...more

Book #3 of 2011
Robb continues the more mellow Eve and Roarke relationship in this book... now nearly a year after they were married, perhaps they're learning how to deal with each other? And I should clarify that by "mellow" I mean... in a lot of books they fight about working together. They work well together, but its just that they both want to protect the other person and that person resents it and in general they push a little too far. The last couple of books they've done the work together...more

Actually I should rate this book 2.5.
This book is written by Nora Roberts under the pen name J. D. Robb. I pick it up only when I intend to read pulp fiction.
Detective Eve Dallas, a woman who has been victim of abuse in past, is usually the primary detective in J. D. Robb books. Year is 2050 - they have droids and AutoChefs - that take care of food and stuff.

The 13th Eve Dallas - J.D. Robb -- timely, fun, great !

This is the first book in this series that
Susan Ericksen
did not make Peabody sound pinched-nosed. That was a bit of a surprise given that I already gotten used to hearing Peabody as pinched-nosed character. When I first encountered it, I didn't really like it that Peabody sounded pinched-nosed. But now that I'd gotten used to it after, what, ten books? I didn't like it that Peabody has changed voiced. I guess change doesn't sit well with me...

Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas must find a Casanova who kills. Women meet their killer online. He says all the right things and arranges the perfect setting only to pump them full of date rape drugs and kill them. Dallas was a victim of rape and child abuse and this case hits a little too close to home.
The killer changes his appearance to suit his victim and seems to be able to hide his electronic trail rather well. Enter Roarke, Dallas' husband and owner of nearly everything. Roarke with his fanc...more

Another great read by Robb
I'm going to assume that if you're reading a review for book 13 in a series, you already are familiar with it and therefore don't need me to go into what these books are about—just whether or not this one was any good.
It was good. Very good, actually.
We got some progress on the McNab-Peabody situation (two more stubborn people I have never met), and of course Charles as well.

Eve Dallas #13 (Eve met Roark in #1; he proposed in #2; Wedding Prep in #3; honeymoon in #4 - Now approaching 1st anniversary in #13 - time drags when you're having fun). I love the thought that in 2059 - not far at all by SF standards - coffee and real meat are delicacies obtainable only by the super rich, like Roark.

Another good one. Eve and Roarke had some great moments towards the end of this book. It seems like she opens up a little more with every book. Roarke knows she loves him but it still stops his heart during those moments when she puts aside her stubborn pride and pours her emotions into him and the love they share. I don't think I'll ever get enough of reading about these two.
I think this book was way better than its predecessor Betrayal in Death. I was more interested in the story. It basically picks up a few weeks after the events in Betrayal in Death. We open with Roarke away to Ireland to see about Mick's funeral. Eve is alone and having nightmares about her childhood. Sometimes I feel like the childhood trauma she faced is over used in the story. I know it was tramatic and I'm not trying to take anything away from that, but I think if you read too many of the "I...more
I love Nora Roberts' books, and I like this series, too, which she writes under her alias. But already with the last one I read ("Survivor in Death"), I noticed that there's a lot that's repeated all over again and again. And it's the same with this book, too. I'm even willing to just flip through the book and only read the important bits.
And why, oh why does Eve's husband have to own like the world?! Every case they're investigating has something to do with Roarke, too, or with his company/comp...more

My thoughts: This is the thirteenth in the series and I guess I should be used to Eve's stubborn refusal to make it easy on herself. She just seemed to irk me to no end even refusing to admit when she was sick and had to take some flu medication. Roake had to sit on top of her so that the medicine could be thrown down her throat. She has been married to Roake for nearly a year now, shouldn't she accept a little love, tenderness, friendship and support by now. That man is a saint with everyt...more

New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts, writing as J.D. Robb, continues her prolific string of hits with her latest installment in the In Death series of futuristic thrillers starring hard-boiled detective Eve Dallas and a quirky cast of characters, including Eve's husband, Roarke, who owns most of Manhattan and can be relied upon to bring all his considerable resources to bear to help his wife solve the case whether she wants him to or not, and Peabody, Eve's uptight assistant, who has...more
I am not sure I like the direction this series is going in. It seems to me that the last few books JD Robb has been giving to much info about the killer early on in the book. This one (and Betrayal in Death as well) you full on know the killers names exactly what they were doing and why right from the start! It kinda kills it when Eve starts putting things together because there is no "oh, is she on the right track? Is there going to be a twist?" etc... you know! You know when she has her thinki...more

I appreciate that Eve had a horrific childhood and it still bothers here. I totally understand that. But book after book it's harped and harped on and she never does anything to help make it better. Also am I the only one that gets irritated with Eve's inability to take care of herself and her constantly behaving like a toddler when she's confronted with it? Other than that, this was a decent book. All these books are running together, though. I'm not sure I have the interested to get through al...more

“There was never anybody before you," she said. "I just wanted to say that. And when I did what I do, and it opened a crack in me like it did last night, there was nobody there to hold on to me. I didn't want anyone to hold on to me. Until you. And I got through and I got by, and it was okay. But I think, maybe, if I'd just kept getting through and getting by, I'd have come to a point where I couldn't do it anymore. And if I couldn't do it anymore, it'd be the end of me, Roarke. So when you hold on to me, You're helping me stand up, one more time. And the dead, you're standing for them, too. I just wanted to say that." She went out quickly, and left him staring at her.”
