Customer Reviews

Excellent, as usual

I noticed that most people love this book and this series. It seems that when there is a negative or lukewarm review, it is from someone who read this book as the first of the "...in Death" series. That may be the problem. I definitely recommend reading in these books in order, to understand the backgrounds of the characters and see their continuing development.I haven't been so hooked on a series since the Honor Harrington series in Science Fiction and the 87th Precinct in Mysteries. I do agree that the futuristic aspect is minimal, just enough to justify the toys that Rourke and the villains use.Everyone is entitled to their personal opinions, but mine is this is mag, absolute frigid!!

Eighth Book to an amazing series!

Conspiracy in Death. Another Winner! Eve Dallas has to solve a series of murders. The murders are perpetrated on the homeless and prostitutes. In each murder the bodies are found missing vital internal organs. Eve's career, and her entire self is placed in jeopardy. An irrational, bitter cop (Bowers) really hates Eve and messes up the case. This book goes further into Eve's past and you even see a soft side to her you hadn't seen before in the series. I really enjoy this series and it is truly amazing how J.D. Robb keeps these books getting better. Each one beats the last and they start out 'Naked in Death "with a winner!

The "...in Death" series always delivers!

The fantastic "...in Death" series continues in this latest book Conspiracy in Death. Eve Dallas has to solve a series of murders. The murders are perpetrated on the homeless and prostitutes. In each murder the bodies are found missing vital internal organs. A cop named Bowers, who has an intense and irrational hatred for Eve, further complicates the case. The book also reveals more of Eve's past. The steamy relationship between Eve and millionaire Roarke continues to dazzle the reader with Roarke's unending passion and love for Eve. Eve seems not able to understand why this man is so in love with her, which only adds to the readers enjoyment.If you haven't read the other books in the series do. Start with the first one, Naked and Death, and read them all, they're all great.

The series continues to get better and better!

In this latest installment of the saga of Lt. Eve Dallas, a homicide detective, is confronted by a series of baffling murders -- someone is killing the "dregs of society," the homeless, prostitutes: people who the killer or killers think won't be missed. In each case, the bodies are found missing vital internal organs. The case is further complicated by a cop named Bowers who has an intense and irrational hatred for her. This book continues to reveal pieces of Eve's past. I hope that in subsequent installments we'll find out about her family. One immensely satisfying part of the story is Eve's relationship with her husband, the gorgeous, enigmatic, and passionate billionaire she first suspected of murder. I love the role reversal in their marriage, and how their love not only smooths down her rougher edges, but transforms him. I'm was grateful to see the redesigned cover. It's less exploitive and more interesting. However, the author and her readers are not well-served by sloppy proofreading. This is an ongoing problem which I hope the publisher will take steps to correct. New readers: please read the books in order from beginning to the current ones. You will be DELIGHTED!!
