Maribeth's Recent Updates

Maribeth rated a book 5 of 5 stars
Born in Death by J.D. Robb
Okay I really enjoyed this. The whole deal with Eve's friend having her baby (and Eve having to throw at baby shower) added some wonderful pressure on the lead characters and the investigations.
Some of the plot twists on the investigations seemed for...more

Haunted in Death by J.D. Robb
Short story (or novella) in the 'Bump in the Night' anthology. Not one of her better efforts, and not really necessary for following the development of the series as a whole (her other short stories had been much better IMO).

Memory in Death by J.D. Robb
This was a fun read... but the murderer was wicked obvious from way too early. It almost seemed like Roberts was dragging out the story until everyone who is reading can't help but see who the murderer is, but it is almost insulting that she thinks w...more

Origin in Death by J.D. Robb
Okay I LOVED this, this is the kind of story that justifies the semi-sci-fi setting for these books. No spoilers, but this was really fun! And set around Thanksgiving... I'll recommend it to read over your Thanksgiving holiday! LOL

Survivor In Death by J.D. Robb

Leaving Everything Most Loved by Jacqueline Winspear
This didn't really work for me, the emotional impact was destroyed by the constant rehashing of past stories (either your readers have read them or not, there is no reason to rehash EVERYTHING). Even the character 'development' felt more like rehash...more

Visions in Death by J.D. Robb
Some real surprises in this one, and lots of character growth. I'm finding these to be a fun read even when the are violence/rape/murder against women (why can't Nora Roberts write mysteries without that? She is a good writer!). *sigh*
