1: Imitation In Death
Great book as are all of Roberts J.D. Robb books. Can't wait to read more of these books.
|
2: Imiation In Death
I enjoyed listening to it while I could, but cassette #5 was not recorded correctly, so I couldn't listen to the period of time that this cassette covered.

3: Eve Dallas vs. A Dead Giveaway
This book is the weakest book in the In Death series, for a number of reasons. Much like my ex-girlfriend, its just no good. The plot is slow, with the biggest avenu for the investigation being, are you read, PAPER SALES! Thats right, Eve, roarke, Peabody, and the rest, go all over the world to ask people about paper! Then, the killer is a dead giveaway. If the killer was anybody other then who they were, the cover makes no sense. But, it did have a few good moments, such as Eve's new memories, and Peabody making detecive.

4: Excellent
Nora Roberts Rocks! Lt. Eve Dallas makes the best protagonist and it's like a ongoing series so there is always a new story!

5: Great, Fabulous... Wonderful.... not perfect, but still spectacular!
First my knocks on this book. Why not bring in more killings from "the past" such as the Manson murders or John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, etc? It just seems you have so many murders and psychopaths to choose from, there was not really a need to "invent" one. Although, in fairness it speaks to JD ROBB/Nora Roberts' imagination when she was able to conjure such a believable villain.
The opening chapter was absolutely brutal and violent but it was not grotesque. It was very smartly done. It grabs your attention and you are hooked. You either are determined to finish this book after chapter one or you will put it down and probably never pick it back up, but rabid fans know that Nora always delivers powerful blows like this.
Typical to the "JD ROBB" style, Roberts pulls no punches, but attacks the violence with a malevolent class and style that only she can muster. Truly, this is one of the better stories of the series. I was impressed with Portrait... I was absolutely AMAZED by Purity... this one... I don't know. I'm at a loss for words. I can't wait to see what "DETECTIVE" Peabody will do in future books.
I love the way we are really IN These characters lives. They eat, they drink, they party. They have sex, they bleed, they cry, they laugh, they plan for their future, they love and they lose. They live and (at times) they die. This story is true to reality. The characters FEEL real and by now they are a part of a reader's pseudo-family. A dysfunctional and outrageous family, but a family nonetheless.
Reading each book is like a trip home... a family reunion. And I can't wait for the next trip.
