This, the first book of the futuristic "In Death" series, finds Eve Dallas trying to track down a possible serial killer that targets prostitutes. I've read other books by Nora Roberts in the past, but I think this one is her best of all the ones I've read. This book roped me in right away and didn't let go until I finished.
Roarke stirs feelings in Eve that she didn't even realize was possible. I was worried going in that the futuristic setting would make the book too sci-fi for me to enjoy, but it didn't. In her search for the killer, Eve meets the intriguing, sexy, rich Roarke, who also happens to be a suspect.
Even though I felt the story was rather predictable, I couldn't stop reading. Will Eve be able to act on her feelings without compromising her case.Oh no. I think I've found a new "guilty pleasure" series.
I actually found that aspect of the book to be rather interesting. I'm looking forward to the second installment in the series.
They are such an interesting couple even from the beginning. Although, I did miss some of the characters that appear later.
I had never heard of the In Death Series, so I just picked up one that looked really good. I was hooked and always meant to go back to the beginning.
I really love this series, but I was stupid and started at like book 20. It was great to finally understand how somethings come into play later on.
I was thrilled when I finally got a library card and they had the entire series. Being the first in the series doesn't make any less than the rest.
I love Eve and Roarke. I will continue reading them in order now just to catch all the stuff I missed.
Just bought books 1 thru five. Great read for J.D. Delighted to have this book. All were a great read. Robb fans. I missed her earlier books when I began to read the "In Death Books" so I am starting at the beginning where Eve & Roarke met. Hope to purchase # 6 thru 10 of this series. Aline Jones/Alabama
Just finished reading Naked in Death and now that I have, I'm not sure why I waited so long to start this series. I won't recap the plot etc., as I'm reviewer #199, but the characters of Eve and Roarke are well fleshed out in the introductory book and you can tell that there is a lot of room for character development and growth. The book takes place about fifty or sixty years in the future, but Robb does not go overboard with the science fiction aspects. The futuristic aspects are so well integrated into the story that you accept them easily without the jar of strangeness that sometimes permeates books that try to seem sci-fi or paranormal and are not well written.If you've been curious about the In Death series, I'd start right here at the beginning.
Weird that prostitution is legal lol. I've seen these books in the stores and had no idea what they were about. I think that will change now under J.D. And how cool it is i can see a great imagination from the author. I guess rich guys with the somewhat poor girl like Eve are interesting. Robb.
And finding the real killer in the end. I've read some Nora Roberts, but i didn't follow her. There are disturbing elements with the characters especially Eve when she has that nightmare near the end sad. Eve is cool, and i've read characters like her but i see that this book was first published in 1995 when i was 7 or 8. I didn't realize right away that the story takes place in the mid 21st century. Roakre is sexy and mysterious, but filthy rich.
I got alot of catching up to do i can't believe how many books are in this series.
