another hit for JDRobb

This is another hit for JDRobb...it is a real page turner. It makes you anxious to see where Eve's next adventure leads her. And as the series progresses, Roarke gets more involved in his Lieutenant's cases. I can't wait for the next installment in the 'In Death'series.

Creation in Death

Creation in Death (In Death)This is one of the best books about Eve Dallas that I have read and I have all of the Eve Dallas series. It's believable, the action flows, and the characters have depth. If you have ever read any of Nora Roberts books, this is a little different, mystery, suspence and action.

One of the better ones of the series

The last "Of Death" I read was not as good and it seemed as if the series was, lagging, if you will. But I got this book in the mail on Saturday 1/5 and finished it on Sunday 1/6!!! Awesome book, it was fast, things were unraveling from beginning to end. The usual characters were still here (Feeny, Peabody, McNab, etc....) and I loved that! It seems as if Eve is actually becoming more "feeling" for lack of a better word.....she's showing more emotions and allowing herself to be open...and I like that....for all the series fans out there, get this one...it's worth it!

New "In Death" readers should not start with this one.

This is a good & enjoyable addition to J.D. Robb's "In Death" series, but not the best one. And it is not a good one for the brand new Eve Dallas reader.

I "discovered" this series last winter and have read them all. As a reader who has been through all the previous books, I appreciated that the author didn't spend a lot of the book explaining the back stories of the characters. But a new reader of the series should probably not start with this one -- there is too much knowledge assumed and mentioned only in shorthand references. Some backstory was not mentioned at all. I sometimes get tired of re-reading about Eve's childhood but I don't recall even a reference in this book. It is such a motivating part of her personality that the absence seemed odd.

This book is centered with the police force so Eve's relationships with the non-police regular characters were short-changed compared to previous books. I particularly enjoy her prickly friendships with her women friends, including her partner, so this was disappointing.

I also missed some of the futuristic elements from some of the other books. With few changes it could be a contemporary police procedural mystery.

All that aside, I did stay up late reading it!

A Bit Disappointing

As an avid Eve Dallas fan and a total Nora Roberts addict, I found this addition to the J.D. Robb series a little disappointing. Since other reviewers have already summarized the story itself, I will give my opinion on why I was not as taken by this story as I had been in the past with this series. First of all, the business of how great Eve is and how perfect Roarke is is definitely getting a little too old. I miss not having more interaction with the other characters (perhaps a little side line on the relationship - and maybe marriage - of Peabody and McNab). Another disappointment in this story was the relentless research and digging into background to catch the killer. I think that this being fiction, the focus should be on the other characters of the series more so than having to listen to how Roarke calls a buddy in Ireland or how he digs up information on his unregistered computer over and over again. We all know about these tactics from the prior stories in the series and mentioning them several times is necessary to give the new reader background, however, too much of this takes time and space away from the personal interactions of the other main characters. Also, the ending was anticlimactic. A big build up for a nasty murderer who has killed over the course of more than a decade comes to a close very quickly and without much effort. More sub-stories or interaction with Mavis, Leonardo, Feeney, Peabody, and McNab would definitely add a fine touch to this series. Also, I am afraid it is getting stale with the same-old, same-old. Too much about how Eve doesn't like babies. She is down right mean about her assessment of Mavis' baby, Belle. The very best stories in this series, to my mind, were the early ones; stories that showed friction, love and companionship (as only Eve can show it) added more interaction with other members of Eve's life while still telling a great murder/mystery story.
