Robb has a winning combination of excellent writing style, compelling characters and great plots.  Once you are a Eve Dallas fan you can't wait to read next book in the series!  Never disappointed and if you aren't a fan yet, get reading!  You are missing a great author and wonderful series!

This is the 2nd (or 4th or 5th) time I've read the first book in the Eve Dallas/Roarke series.  It is set in 2058 in New York City.  When JD Robb started writing these in the 1990's, I am sure more things seemed possible than have actually come to pass but it is still fun reading in  2014!

Lieutenant Eve Dallas is in charge of the Homicide Squad out of Central in NYC.  She has been on the job 11 years.  A murder happens to a young woman who is also an "LC" - licensed companion.  What is significant is who her grandfather is and what pressure he helps bring to bear to get the case solved and also that a gun (now outlawed as tasers are used instead) was used to kill her.

As Eve investigates many "threads", she meets Roarke, an extremely rich "gazillionaire" who has a collection of guns and had had dinner with the deceased young woman.

Without giving away more, the plot twists and turns, secondary characters and overall chemistry between them is worth reading..again and again!

I've now read them all and enjoyed every one of the stories.  If you haven't read the Eve Dallas series, in order, do yourself a huge favor and read them in order - what a great series.

As always with JD's books, this one was too short, to easy to read and to damn far away from the next one. The "in Death" series is one of the few I now buy in hardcopy and I have to admit to "swiping" a page or two but the feelmof a book abnd reading the words on paper have a way of getting the emotion actoss that electronic media doesn't. The story itself as always is brilliantly written and entagled, I have to say I was worried there wouldn't be a dream sequence,  which usually brings the whole story into clear focus and has often set Eve on the right track. When it did come it didn't actually pertain much to the plot but did bring the villains character in to focus a bit better. Thrillingly enough for me I guessed the final hiding place before reading it, that was a first. The new office is certaintly going to add to the visuals in future books and the way Eve took to it was delightful. Bella as she should has everyones heart and her empathy is made even sweeter by her age. That's another fine crime you've written and solved Ms. J. D. Robb. Can't wait for the next one.

I am a huge huge fan of this series.  And this is an excellent and different J.D. Robb story.  Liked it very much.  Have to say I did not like how Eve reacted in one portion of the story toward the end - I found her cruel and uncompromising.  Usually when this occurs she regrets it later and/or others call her on it, but this time she didn't and very few seemed to feel she was out of line.  So this may be my problem, not hers.  I will see if this opinion holds when I re-read it again.  Recommended.

This case becomes personal to Eve Dallas when she's asked by Charlotte Mira to look into husband Dennis' assault and search for his missing cousin. What begins as an unofficial missing persons case for Eve, explodes into something much more sinister.

I loved how this case evolved, with classic Eve Dallas investigating where she's relying on those extraordinary instincts and procedurals. It makes a huge difference in my enjoyment to be able to follow the clues as she's hunting them down and get the big reveals as she discovers them. The teams' all there and we continue to get more about the unit's dynamics as a group.

But what really makes this story is the deepening relationship between Dennis Mira and Eve. I got much more here than what I'd hoped for and loved this part of the story. There are several scenes that are precious and I just got lost in them. Eve continues to evolve in ways that are true, authentic and timely.

I'm very happy with this book and feel it moved the characters forward in all the right ways. Believe it or not, there's still a lot to learn about the enigmatic Eve Dallas and she's developing quite nicely. The case will challenge you, not so much in deducing the outcome but your morality and ethics. Lots to consider here as to who are the real victims. Well done.

The Eve Dallas series is terrific!  And "Witness in Death" is another fine installment.  Although I thought the book started slowly, after about 70 pages it picked up speed and, as all its predecessors,  became a "page turner."
Nora continues to turn out intriguing  plots, gritty characterizations, and heart-warming relationships.  This  book even has some witty, funny dialogue (not typical of Nora).  I actually  laughed out loud a couple times.  The only other author to evoke audible  laughter from me is Janet Evanovich -- the Stephanie Plum mystery books (I  highly recommend these books to all J. D. Robb fans).
The relationship  between Eve and Roarke continues to evolve with this book and continues to  provide a romance fix.  Ahhhhh, Roarke has my heart -- too bad he's  fiction.
Even though the plot line is futuristic, it is cleverly thought  out and highly plausible which increases its appeal and negates any  misgivings about futuristic fiction.
Eve and Roarke, Feeney, Peabody,  McNabb, Dr. Mira, et al, are all characters that will wheedle their way  into your heart as they have mine.  Eve and Roarke are the best.

I always enjoy the Eve Duncan series. This one did not disappoint. Many plot surprises and twists will keep you interested.  And a big surprise at the end. Good read.

There is no doubt in my mind that J. D. Robb writes great suspense.  As well as that she writes about characters I like and care about, and she often gets me with an element of surprise, just when I think I have 'solved' this one.  I was up there this time but was totally surprised/delighted to discover the way she brought the criminal down.

In this book people are dying in a spectacular way, when their brain explodes.  An email is sent by computer that invades their brain and after awhile they get raging headaches and go 'mad', sometimes they kill others as well as themselves.  Who is behind this, that is the question and why.  The why is soon very obvious but the who takes much longer.

Because Eve is not very tech minded she needs Roarke and her tech team of Feeney and McNabb and young Jamie.  Jamie we met in a previous book, his desire is to become a policeman like his murdered Grandad when he is old enough.  He likes nothing better to trash talk with the tech guys, and he is a bit of a whizz kid when it comes to all things tech.  I look forward to meeting him in later books.  Troy Trueheart, a young policeman we met too earlier on has a small cameo role, and Eve finds it difficult to step back when he runs into trouble.  She wants to 'mother' him.

McNabb and Peabody have small but important parts in this story and I think their romance is certainly developing along the 'love' path.  As usual the repartee between Eve and Peabody is great and now moving to a more 'equal' footing.

Eve and Roarke clash a little over law and what is right, Eve thinks Roarke is on the opposite side of the fence to her but he just has a broader outlook and he helps her to see it.

#15 in the series - Purity in Death was another excellent addition to the series.

Iris Johansen is a great author and I love her Eve Duncan series. Can't wait for the next in this series because in the last chapter I learned Eve is pregnant.

I always like returning to these stories with the familiar characters. Not all of the supporting characters are present, but enough are to make it good. The last couple of books seemed to be lightening up with Dallas dealing with her past, this one did not. It is a tough read plot-wise, but it does make you admire Dallas and Roarke even more.

If you like Eve Dallas, this is a great read, just like all the others. I never read a JD Robb I didn't like.

As always, Nora Roberts did a great job. I love the Eve Dallas series and am trying to read all of them.
