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.

Spoilers Ahead!
It’s 2059 and Eve Dallas has just answered a call to a case that appears to be pretty open and closed. The murderer is actually waiting for her when she gets there drinking a glass of wine. She tells Eve how her boyfriend, J.C. Branson, was cheating on her and she killed him by drilling him to the wall with a drill his company manufactures.
Meanwhile, Peabody’s brother, Zeke, is in town to do some work for B.D. Branson (J.C.’s brother) and his wi...more

My 2010 reading year started off a little rough - several 2 star books and The Stand. I needed a guaranteed good-read to get me back on track...and Eve and Roarke are always good reads! A woman who unprovoked and cold-heartedly murders her long-term millionaire boyfriend by drilling him to the wall with the power tool that he, ironically, manufactures; a disenchanted veteran of the Urban Wars, who went underground as a genius electronics guru, is found dead with his tongue cut out; and Eve gets...more

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. There is plenty of action and fair amount of suspense as the story build...more

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 Roberts was prog...more

Loyalty in Death is the ninth book in the In Death Series by J.D. Robb aka Nora Roberts. The main focus of these stories, is Eve Dallas as a futurists New York City Police Lieutenant and her Irish rogue multimillionaire husband, Roarke. Along with Eve's fellow cop friends/co-workers, they fight through a case each book, sometimes coming out worse for wear but always a bit stronger. I just love Eve and Roarke. Those two are to hot for their own good. This book centered on a bombing, terrorist gro...more

Two apparently unrelated murders, one of a wealthy toy maker by his very angry girlfriend and the other of a former special forces officer now doing illegal electronics work. They would seem at first to be totally unconnected but is anything truly unconnected when it intersects the lives of Eve Dallas and Roarke? Dallas herself is targeted by a homegrown terrorist group called Cassandra when they send their missive and demands directly to her and suddenly everything is all tangled together. We g...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 these suspicious notificati...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 act...more
So this one had its moments. I continue to very much enjoy Feeney, Peabody, Mira and McNabb. Particularly Peabody and Feeney. Peabody's reaction to Eve helping her brother was awesome. Feeney was awesome from start to finish. There was not enough Summerset, though Mavis continued to be non-annoying in this one.
That said, Anne Malloy just felt manipulative, and I hate when authors do things like that. Also, I called the case early on, minus some of the family details.

This is #9 in the Dallas/Roarke/Peabody series that I lov/e. I started this one on the plane from vacation a few wks ago, but never got into it.. This book focuses on terrorists and demands, rather than individual murders. I set it aside and read some other books, then came back and this time, dove right in. One thing of note, which isn't a spoiler, is here they are, fifty years in the future, and they're trying to decide if the terrorists next target in NYC includes the statue of liberty or the...more

In 2058, Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her aid Officer Peabody work two apparently unrelated cases. J. C. Branson, co-president of Branson's Toys and Tools, is killed by his mistress for cheating on her. Then, Urban War veteran and explosive-expert "Fixer" is pulled out of the river. Adding to the action, Eve is contacted by Cassandra, a domestic terrorist group intent on blowing up New York landmarks in which Roarke has an interest. Cassandra wants to establish a new world order. Finally, B. D. Bra...more
Another great instalment to this engaging futuristic police procedural series with a diverse cast of loveable characters.
Eve Dallas just can't miss. After nine books, I'm starting to notice some patterns and repeated ideas within the series, quite naturally so. Such as Roarke ALWAYS somehow managing to get involved in Eve's cases. Not that I really mind; I want him on the scene. But even with this slight repetitiveness, I've still thoroughly enjoyed every single one of the books so far, and I'm...more

And just all the other Eve Dallas books I inhaled this one. It was just one of those books you can cuddle with and lose yourself in. You have suspenseful adventure, with the added bonus of Roarke, and there's also the blossoming romance between McNab and Peabody. And we also see Eve struggle with her memories.

Serial letnan eve dallas ini sungguh memabukkan. Sulit melepaskan novel dengan genre seperti ini. Bahkan menurutku genre seperti ini jauh lebih memikat hatiku dari pada genre fantasi.
Kali ini eve berhadapan dengan sebuah kelompok yg bernama Cassandra. Nama cassandra sendiri sebenarnya di ambil dari mitologi Yunani. Sang peramal yg ramalan nya di abaikan oleh orang orang. Nama tersebut di berikan oleh dewa Apollo, saudara Artemis.

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 waited. I think had...more
In this novel Eve and Roarke must collaborate once again to get to the bottom of a terrotist plot.
Some right wing group called "CASSANDRA" is bombing well known tourist spots and most of them are owned by Roarke.(of course) Roarke will utilize his shady ways to get the classified information needed to catch the people responsible.
All the while, Eve is also investgating another murder of the owner of a well known toy and tool campany. It seems straight forward, angry lover kills him in bit of ra...more

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 sad... even thou...more
Well of course as a book of the in death series, it is good. Just not as good or as intense as the previous books I guess.
The start was kind of slow but then it got better.
It is a good book where many aspects, characters and their relationships take time to evolve so we can go on with new facts in the rest of the serie I think.
Eve is investigating two case. In one of them a terririst group is threatening to blow the city of New York. When the threats come nearer home she has to move fast.

I think I liked everything about this one except the Big Bad Bomber storyline. It was a nice twist - which shall remain unmentioned - with Peabody's brother, but the rest was a little much.
Also - interesting that the book mentioned the Twin Towers as a terrorist target. Obviously, seeing as how the towers are already gone, they won't be in Eve's world in 2058. They've been gone for over a decade and it's still weird when they pop up in movies and books.

This book is fantastic. So heart-wrenching and possibly the best yet!
I was confused with the introduction of Zeke and admit to skim reading his sections because how could he be part of the main story?? Silly, silly me. I should know by now!
The back story and interweaving subplots was amazing. The amount of deaths and the calculating minds of some of these criminals is shocking. A smart criminal is much, much more terrifying then the standard crim.

A pretty good one in the Eve Dallas set of stories. She's still happily married to Roarke and they enter into intrigue, espionage, and possibly the end of the world by the villains. There are some good twists and turns and when Peabody's brother shows up, you know something is amiss there. A good read and America is safe once again. It's fun to read about the "futuristic" technology they use (this one was written around 2000, but supposed to be set about 50 years later) and how we've already sur...more
One of the more powerful books in the series thus far, with an added bonus of finally hitting on the relationship between McNab and Peabody - something I've been waiting for! Roarke and Eve continue to be one of my favorite couples, and I really enjoyed finally getting to meet a member of Peabody's family.
Completely unrelated, and nothing at all to do with the story, but something that struck me toward the end - I guess it's been long enough since 9/11 that seeing such a casual mention of the Tw...more
