Book Reviews of Witness in Death
Book Review: Great
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this series... you must read it to understand. It's all about a homicide detective named Lt. Eve Dallas and how she goes about solving a case which always seems imposibble to solve at first.Book Review: Great as Always!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book keeps you in suspense. Roarke and Dallas are predictable and lovable, they almost feel like real people. I love them. The story is fast paced and you don't really don't know who did it until that last page!Book Review: Guilty Pleasures
Summary: 4 Stars
My reading intake is so eclectic, I need a frequent break. JD Robb provides me with that much needed respite, by indulging my fantasy of riches, intrigue, suspense, erotic love & 2 snippy sidekicks to pick up the slack (at home & at work, but of course:)I love Eve Dallas, her past is remarkably like my own. Her present is tortured yet secure, she is powerful and always gets the bad guys. Eve, Roarke, Mavis, Peabody and the rest are, as always predictably presented with just a modicum of suspended disbelief and a drop of incredulousness when viewing their future world.
Robb sets this particular future-mystery on-stage in a theater owned by Eve Dallas' infinity-gazillionaire husband, Roarke. The sexual excitement created between these two outrageous characters once again spills out into the lives of the other occupants of the unique space Robb enhances with each publication. The irony is that the initial murder takes place while Eve & Roarke are in the audience on opening night. What's playing, you ask? "Witness for the Prosecution", naturally.
The development of Eve as a character, clinging to her excellence as a detective while tangling with resurfacing memories from an impoverished childhood--while learning what "love" is from her own point of view--is a treasure.This is the one series I anticipate longingly for each new release.
Witness in Death does not disapoint. JD Robb keep up the good work, this heroine and her clan are indulgent fun.
I will read every single book in this series.
Book Review: I LOVE JD ROBB
Summary: 5 Stars
AT FIRST I PICKED UP THE "IN DEATH" SERIES FOR IT'S ROMANCE BUT BECAME HOOK ON THE PEOPLE AND THE PLOT THAT IS SET IN THE FUTURE. NOW I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT MY 'ROARKE AND EVE' FIX THEY SEEM SO REAL! THEY HAVE THEIR OWN FLAWS AND THEIR OWN DEAMONS INSIDE AND THEY CONTINUE TO GROW WITH EACH BOOK AND SO ARE ALL THE PLAYERS IN THE "IN DEATH" BOOKS IF YOU LOVE ROMANCE BUT ARE IN THE MOOD FOR GOOD PLOT TOO I HIGHLY RECOMEND THE "IN DEATH" BOOKS TO EVERYONE! A+ :)Book Review: I love this series!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've never written a review of anything before. This series is sooo good I just had to write something! I read the first 10 books in the series in 11 days!! I love the characters, especially Eve Dallas. It's very interesting - and sometimes painful - to read how she wrestles with her past (molestation and murder) and her present (married to the richest most handsome man in the world) and tries to reconcile it all with her job of "standing for the dead". In this book, Eve learns that "standing for the dead" means sometimes you have to stand for someone who may have deserved what he got - the victim was a scumbag who used everyone he could, and one person in a particularly disgusting way. Eve even goes out of her way to assist the murderer in getting the lightest sentence possible, something she would have never done before because of dedication to her job. There are other great characters. Officer Peabody is another favorite. And once again there is growth in her. Peabody started out as a straight arrow, serious police officer who seldom laughed or cracked wise, and just wanted to learn at Eve's feet. Now she's loosening up and manages to even make Eve lighten up - occasionally.
The murder mystery parts of the stories are sometimes grusome and a lot of peole die before the end - in this book there were only two, a relatively low body count. But it's interesting following Eve through her paces - here the "crime of passion" type motive is one she's not particularly "keyed into" because of her past as a loner. But as she goes through solving the crime, her feeling towards her friends and mostly her husband change also. I think this is a very entertaining series of books in general and Witness in Death is definitely one of my favorites!
