In Death Unplugged

Do you have a scene that defines each book in the series?
Mod
Mod
That's mine, too!
I have recall scenes for many of the books. Naked in Death is The scene where Eve spends the night with roarke the first night....SIGH!!!!! Immortal in Death I think for me is when Eve remembers killing her father
Innocent...the restaurant scene when Magdalena appears wearing the red dress
Mod
Oh, that's my scene, too, in NID:)
Mod
You know what I remember? Eve seeing Roarke give her that look.
Yes, same moment all wrapped up...but the red dress stuck with me. But yea, later she accused him of giving her the look.
I think I need to try to go through the whole series in my mind. What a fun activity!
Mod
LOL Dawn! It would be a fun activity! Be sure to report back with all your fav scenes! :)
Oh...yours beats mine Jonetta. I had her in Eve's office telling her she is her momma.
Okay, I have a partial list ready...so many books. Naked: Coffee on the plane.
Glory: fight/makeup scene when Eve breaks down.
Immortal: Eve telling Roarke she had the day off and was SHOPPING for a wedding dress
Rapture: The closet sex scene
Ceremony: I can't decide between two, they are both equally important. Feeney yelling at Eve because she is hiding things from him/Roarke telling Feeney he is Eve's father in spirit.
Vengeance: Eve and Sommerset fighting and her telling him she's realized he resents her because he wanted Marlena for Roarke.
Holiday: Jamie breaking through Roarke's security system
Midnight: Eve promising to be around for their midnight date
Mod
Naked: Coffee on the plane.
Glory: fight/makeup scene when Eve breaks down.
Immortal: Eve telling Roarke she had the day off and was SHOPPING ..."
Oh, that Ceremony scene makes that book! That and the tattoo:)
Nice list!!
Mod
One of my favorites is when he takes her to Mexico and discovers he hasn't deactivated the cameras. The scene between Roarke and is it Baxter and Webster?
All the times Roarke's heart goes cold with fear because of Eve.
I'm sure I'll think of others, but I've only had one cup of coffee so far...
Witness in Death when Eve Plans the dinner for Roarke and his sticks his foot in his mouth when he thinks she is up to something.Divided in Death when Roarke tells Eve about Homeland Security watching and listening while she was being raped and beaten not to mention them cleaning up after she killed her father.

What books do these connect with?

Sheri, both of these are my recall scenes for both books!!
Promise in Death I have a couple in this book. The scene where Eve shows up to Tell Morris the woman he loves is dead. So heartbreaking. and then the scene where Morris shows up at the Eve & roarke's and Eve puts her arm around him and walks him inside
Mod
The first one is mine, too.
Dawn and Jonetta, I immediately thought of both scenes you mentioned from Innocent. I would also pick the scene in Innocent when Eve says to Roarke that she's afraid he'll look at Maggie then her and realize he's made a mistake. Throughout the series there is a piece of Eve that still doesn't understand why Roarke fell for her.
Mod
My heart broke a little bit on that one.
Makes me cry every time I read the book.
Immortal, when Eve tries on her dress and realizes she REALLY wants it.
Mod
Oh, how shocked I was at that one:)
Mod
Oh yes, Maggie. Very touching scene. There is a small part of Eve that wonders why Roarke chose her over more sophisticated, beautiful women.
visions in death when Eve tells Peabody about her father
When Eve takes Crack to see his sisters body. (That kicks me in the gut everytime.)Portrait In Death.
Mod
Another awful scene.
Mod
This one broke me up. It's heartbreaking.
I really like the Charles and McNab fight over Peabody. (I never remember which book that is from)
The very first book: the scene when Eve receives the coffee gift from Roarke and Mavis tells her that every woman needs jewlery or bling or sparkles (can't remember the exact term). I've always loved this scene!
Jonetta wrote: "Conspiracy in Death...The moment when Eve leaves Cop Central after they took her badge. I cry every time."Yes! Love that one too
Rosa Hope wrote: "I really like the Charles and McNab fight over Peabody. (I never remember which book that is from)"I found that so funny :D love it
Jonetta wrote: "Kirsten wrote: "One of my favorites is when he takes her to Mexico and discovers he hasn't deactivated the cameras. The scene between Roarke and is it Baxter and Webster?
All the times Roarke's..."
Pretty sure Mexico is in Glory.
Can't remember the scene between Roarke and Webster (?)
Roarke's heart goes cold so many times I can't narrow it down...

From the first book, I always think of the scene where she drinks his coffee in the car on the way to the airport. "Sorry Roarke. This is a private moment. We'll talk on the plane." or something to that effect.
Yes, Penni! That is such a perfect moment. (It always makes me wonder what non-real coffee tastes like.)
Mod
One of my many favorite scenes is when Feeney comes to apologize after they argue in Ceremony in Death.
My dad used to talk about coffee that was majority chicory. Apparently that was something they did during the war years.
Another scene from Innocent in Death. When Eve doesn't come from work( she's with Mavis) and Roarke is home waiting and wondering IF she's coming back. He says if she doesn't he'll find her and drag her back where she belongs. This is a different side of Roarke., he is always so sure of his relationship with Eve. For me that's why this scene is so moving, to see him afraid she won't come home.And when she finally returns and he hugs her and says "God, don't leave me again." I melt every time!
Mod
Love that one.
Mod
I can't remember if it's in NAKED or in GLORY, but when Roarke is dwelling over her and he's scared she'll finally become tired of him. **sigh***
I'm listening to the audio of
and the scene where Eve, after dealing with the remnants of a bomb blast, (view spoiler), really affected me. It was so well written, so realistic, I actually felt physically creeped out; like tiny yucky creatures were crawling on my arms and legs. Ms Robb is brilliant with words.

For example, in Glory in Death, it's the scene where Eve goes to Roarke's office following their breakup over the diamond. In Immortal in Death, I have two. The first is the fight between Pandora and Mavis in Leonardo's studio with a naked Eve as referee. The other is when Eve leaves the fashion show wearing a butt contraption that Roarke comments on when they're going to Jerrie's apartment.
You get the picture.
Do you have immediate recall of specific scenes that come to mind when an In Death title is mentioned?
