This installment just didn't engage me like the others did. It wasn't bad in that I doubt Robb could ever write s bad In Death book but I didn't enjoy it as I did the others.
It may be entirely my fault, though. I brought it along to read during a weekend seminar retreat and was just too busy to concentrate on the book. I was tired and constipated and Eve really irked me in this book.

Book Review: 2 Treasure Boxes
This book has lots going on, but the main focus is on finding and stopping a terrorist group. Eve must find out where the next attack will be so she can prevent damage and save hundreds, if not thousands of people. At the same time she must also deduce who is behind this group and bring them down. Intertwined in this investigation Eve must help Peabody’s brother, who has become a murder suspect.

Loyalty in Death is book nine in JD Robb's In Death series. In this book Eve is tracking down a terrorist group, whose plot is to take out popular tourist attractions in New York City. Also a couple of dead bodies have turned up and Eve has been assigned their case. Meanwhile, Peabody's brother is visiting New York for the first time and he gets tangled up in one of the murder investigations.

The series comes back up to par with this one. One of the most disturbing things about reading Loyalty in Death is knowing that it was written prior to 9/11 - reading about terrorists destroying The Pentagon and the Twin Towers being a potential bombing target left a dark queasiness in the pit of my stomach.
Eve has consistently been a difficult character to like, but I have to say that I found her particularly unlikable for the better part of this book. Just when I thought Nora Robe More...

Loyalty in Death has one of the best endings in so far in the series! It kept me on my toes and got my heart jackhammering in my chest! But before I talk about the ending, let’s start from page one...
My favourite cop, Lieutenant Eve Dallas has a murder case where a wife has literally screwed her husband over. When Lisbeth literally drills her cheating husband to a wall with one of his power tools, Eve doesn’t think her life could get worse. But then she starts getting the More...

So, I was going to patiently wait until the next books came through but then I got book 10 from the library before I got books 7, 7.5, 8, and 9. After waiting patiently for 2 weeks, I finally took matters into my own hands and drove to two other Libraries to collect them all because 10 has to be back in 3 dyas! I'm telling you this because it could be the over-exposure but the mysteries just haven't been doing it for me in the last few books. And EVe is even getting on my nerves. The way she a

I was very hesitant to start this book. I didn't particularly enjoy "Conspiracy in Death". I've been getting the books from the library and I'll usually check out a couple at a time reading one after the other. It took me a long time to pick up this book. I had to renew it at the library because I just couldn't bring myself to start it right after "Conspiracy in Death". I was worried that the series was taking a turn and I wouldn't be able to get back into it. I'm glad that I

While I still enjoyed reading this Eve Dallas book, it wasn't as good as the last couple that I'd read. The story bounced around quite a bit, so it took awhile for me to get the thread of the plot. Plus I pegged "whodunnit" pretty early on, just because the whole set-up seemed convenient. And I have to admit, Peabody's brother did nothing for me... he was just kind of boring! Also, while I like when Eve and Roarke fight a bit, the extreme fight they had in this book just made me sa

A bit of a carpentry themed Eve Dallas book from Robb, with our initial murder being done with a drill, and Peabody's gentle carpenter brother heading to the big city. There's also a mad anti-government lot bombing the hell out of buildings and irritating Roarke because, goddamn it, they're his buildings. Naturally, both carpenters and bombers are connected, because every case that Eve looks at is connected to each other, apparently. All is well in the end, with the crazy bombing people prope

This was a first-time read also. I absolutely knew that you couldn't trust that woman! I didn't like her from the beginning- glad to know that my instincts are so spot-on. ;) Also, I love that Eve no longer has a nice car. Her never-ending battle with electronics and cars leaves me amused in every book. It really lightens up the atmosphere in books with dark, sometimes sad, crimes.

This book followed Eve Dallas into uncomfortable territory as instead of dealing with individual murders, she was dealing with terrorist attacks and mass murders. When one of her informants tells her that a person of interest has been found dead floating in a river at the same time that a well-known businessman is drilled to the wall by his girlfriend, Dallas believes she is working on 2 different cases.

Lives up to expectations – which where sky high. We learn a bit more about Peabody, who is beginning an interesting relationship of her own in this one, and Eve and Roarke are as sexy and intense as usual. The mystery is even better than in many of the previous novels of the series. Excellent, excellent stuff. This is a series best read in order, since most of the enjoyment is in the relationship between Eve and Roarke and the developing relationships with the interesting cast of secondary chara

I think it would be fairly easy for me to rate the rest of the books in this series; I have not disliked one yet and they seem to earn a fairly consistent 4 stars with me. For those who believe that multiple stories featuring the same main characters can't help but become boring at some point, let me put those fears to rest. Roarke and Eve are complex and another layer or two gets peeled away with each succeeding book and this is one reader who is far from bored.

I really enjoyed “Loyalty in Death”, even though it was published 10 years ago
I found it very pertinent to today. Eve and Rourke must face off a radical
political organization which is terrorizing New York with connections to a
group of terrorists that is (or was), considered defunct. As Eve cuts through
the radical ideology she finds that there is a far simpler reason for all the
bombings; plain greed. Now she must find out who.

45% done- That girl better not be playing himm. -__- If she's part of Cassandra I will personally beat her up. I'm not sure how I'd go about beating up a fictional character, but I will find a way.
One of the very few times I was right about the bad guys. Goddamnit, I didn't want them to be part of the group. hweoufnofueheof.
Loved that Eve got Roarke that dingy, dying, rose! All I could was "awwweeee" while reading the part she gives it to him.

I understand that the series is currently at 30 some odd books. I wonder how can it keep interesting for that long? But then I pick up the next in the series. I'm instantly enthralled by the characters continued growth and development. This is maybe my favorite so far. Peabody still gets the best lines, Roarke is still too perfect, and Eve still kicks ass.
Good fun and a good read.
