Book Reviews of Innocent In DeathBook Review: Eve Dallas is an ABUSER Summary: 1 Stars
See the bottom of page 340 and to 341. Here, Eve "swaggers" into the room then "rammed her fist in his (Roarke's) face." She then turns to the woman who was trying to set him up and "She decked Magdelana with a straight-armed jab." Knocking her to the floor unconscious. When Roarke, wiping the blood from his mouth, asks her why she sucker-punched him she replies "Mostly? Because you're a man."
There was nothing cute, funny or amusing about this incident. Eve Dallas comes out looking worse than bad.
This is a cop with a reverence for doing things by the 'book'???? This is a woman who was regularly beaten bloody (as well as raped)as a child by her father. Her husband, too, was regularly beaten bloody by his father. And, as far as I'm concerned she has here indicated that she has too much of her father in her and, after almost twenty-five books, she's failed miserably to keep him in her past and deserves every nightmare coming to her. I grieved for the abused child. I have no sympathy or liking for the adult who continues the cycle of abuse.
Take away her badge.
Book Review: Excellent sequel Summary: 5 Stars
Innocent In Death
Another excellent installment in the life of Lt. Eve Dallas and Roarke. Excellent protrayal of emotions new to Eve, jealousy and inferiority, I could empathize with her pain. The antagonist was surprising and creepy!
Book Review: Gets better and better... Summary: 5 Stars
Where some authors start to lose their writing style/tempo in later books, JDR just gets better and better. I had an idea who the killer could possibly be half way through the book, but it didn't deter me from completing the story.
Love how JDR flips from the emotions of one character to another.
This is a definite must read. Am so looking forward to 'Creation in Death'.
Book Review: Good, But Few Surprises Summary: 4 Stars
J.D. Robb lovers like me will like this book, although the format is wearing a little thin. I need more Peabody! Good news -- Dallas and Somerset actually collaborate on something! Book arrived in perfect condition.
Book Review: Great Series Summary: 5 Stars
A great book from a great series. How is it possible that this series just keeps getting better and better? Love that we're getting more into the emotional and intimate aspects of Roarke and Eve's relationship.
JD Robb/Nora Roberts is amazing!
