J.D. Robb is the name under which Nora Roberts writes futuristic mysteries about Eve Dallas, police detective. I will turn in my "literary snob" sash and admit that I love Roberts's books, under either name. She consistently creates compelling characters and settings and tells good stories. And those are the main things I ask for from most novels. Roberts delivers it, over and over (and at a rather astonishing pace), and it annoys me how many people assume her books are bad simply ...more

CEREMONY IN DEATH - G+
Robb, J.D. (aka Nora Roberts) - 5th in series
Eve Dallas is conducting a top secret investigation into the death of a fellow officer-but every clue brings her closer to the most seductive form of evil.
I love this series and look forward to each new book. Robb/Roberts excels at character and dialogue. Even when the plot is week, it is those two elements that hold the books together. Waiting for the next...

recommends it for:
Nora Roberts -fans
It seems that the more books Nora Roberts publishes in the Eve Dallas -series, the more weigh she puts on the relationship -side and the less on the crimes. It seemed that every 5 pages Eve and Rourke were having sex like bunnies and after the 3rd time it became annoying ("Can't you get a room, for heaven's sake!"). The crime side of the book was good and the mysterious side (satanists, wiccans) she described well. Before I liked Eve, but now she's starting to annoy me. Comes down to t...more

Another winner in the "...IN DEATH" series, CEREMONY IN DEATH finds Eve Dallas dealing with things that mere science can't explain. Although Dallas believes that evil comes in the form of men, you'll get a little surprise when you find out exactly how other characters from the series, including Roarke and Dr. Mira, feel about it.
Another great read, with high emotion, action, suspense, and romance.
This is an awesome series!

Book #5 in the In Death series.
A futuristic, bawdy, murder-mystery. Eve Dallas is a foul mouthed no nonsense police lieutenant that some how bags (or is it sacks?) a multi-corporation owning, billionaire hottie. If the futuristic setting wasn't enough to jet you into the realm of fantasy the likelihood of that romance pairing would define fiction.
. . .that said, Eve Dallas, you go girl.
