Despite the repetitiveness in some parts - Roarke's library, the dialog between him and Eve - I still enjoyed this installment. Not as good as the previous, Vengeance ID, but still enjoyable because of Robb's ability to keep the pace tight and zipping along like those futuristic cars.
It's getting predictable but I expected this when I started the series a couple of months ago so I'm not complaining just yet. Still, I hope I haven't spoken too soon as there were some lines that seemed taken r...more

This is the 7th in the In Death series.
It is Christmas time in future NY 2058.

The reason I won't give this author (Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb) 5-stars is the smut thrown in each book. When reading my first in the series I thought it read like a Sydney Sheldon (rest his soul) novel. Do I sound like Sister Mary Margaret or what? (don't misunderstand me... smut has its place, think "Lipstick Jungle"). I think the sex is tossed in to engage the Nora Roberts audience (as that is what she's famous for, right? Her romance novels). For me, the sex detract...more

Ok, it was recommended by a friend as a quick fun read so I thought I would give the series a shot.
It was a fun read, I'll check the rest of them out. Never thought I would say that but I will.

After reading this seventh in the series, I can say the characters have really grown on me. Eve Dallas's character, seemed to me very surface level in the first few books. Though, by book six (Vengence in Death) I was grateful for the depth of her character. She's grown in her relationships with co-workers, friends and her husband Roarke. The series just continues at its steady pace with a solid balance of romance and intrigue.
