I am in no way a romance genre kind of gal, but I have always like Nora Roberts style of writing. I've read almost all of her books and liked most of them. She often has a suspenseful or supernatural twist in her Nora books. While I don't like everything she has ever done, the first part of "Remember When" is totally her style when she writes as Nora. I don't have any trouble believing she could have written both.

Actually, I love the "In Death' books so much, I really don't care who's writing them as long as they don't start messing with the characters and making them different somehow, unless it's the character development that has been, up to now, exceptional.

Maybe it's a little like the Shakespeare debate. They're so entertaining and classic that it doesn't really matter how that got written, just so someone masterminds them. And the more of them I read, the more I have my favorites that I'll reread again and again.

I'm with you, B. While awaiting another ..In Death" book, I have broken down and read some Nora Roberts books hoping for the best and am always disappointed. In fact, one of the reasons I never tried the "...In Death" series until this year was because I didn't like the Roberts books I had read up till this time. I picked up my first "...In Death" book, cheap, at a church rummage sale and was delightfully surprised. I could have gone to my own death missing these delights because I read Nora Roberts before trying J.D. Robb. If the series is written by ghost writers, Ms. Roberts should have them do all her books.

I am surprised that I enjoy these so much. I don't like the Nora Roberts books at all!! Have become hooked on the "In Death" series.

I think that is what makes them so amazing is the fact that they are so different but I would be disappointed if she is not actually writing them. I do not even want the thought in head.

If they are ghost writers (and different ones at that), then I am impressed! I read alot of series books and have found that the in death series is pretty good at keeping the grammatical style, term use, and characters steady throughout the series. I read the first like 18 in a row and while there were of course some differences - overall there were more similarities. Other series that I have read are OBVIOUSLY written by others - you can tell b/c the style changes from book to book or in some extreme cases, the characters have totally different mannerisms!
In total, if someone else is writing them - keep it up, they are doing a good job!

I am up to the tenth In Death book, and I just can't believe that Nora Roberts is really writing these books. I've only read about 4 or 5 of Roberts, but it just seems so different! If she is writing them, then she's amazing, because the styles are vastly different in my opinion.

I read Remember When, and it was hard to believe that the same person wrote the beginning part of the novel and then the second part of the novel!

I still love the series though. Eve Dallas is a fantastic character to read about.

One of my girlfriends and I loyally read the books - for better or worse - and feel that there are at least three different ghost writers who are writing these books. I know from an insider that she uses ghostwriters, I'm just wondering how many she uses.

Anyone have the same feeling?
