I have to say that J.D. Robb never fails to hold my attention. She sets a pathway for readers to follow and sometimes, she likes to take you on a little detour. The intensity picks and up emotions run rampant, making for a read that got my heart pumping and my palms sweaty. ~ Under the Covers
In JUDGMENT IN DEATH, Eve Dallas finds herself in the midst of upscale strip club called Purgatory where a cop has been bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat. Naturally, that club is owned by Roarke, Eve’s husband. However, when another murdered cop turns up, Eve knows that something far more dangerous is going on. It seems that the murders of these “dirty cops” are connected to Max Ricker, a former associate of Roarke and a criminal mastermind. As things become hairy, readers get a glimpse of the more possessive side of Roarke!
I have to say that J.D. Robb never fails to hold my attention. She sets a pathway for readers to follow and sometimes, she likes to take you on a little detour. The intensity picks and up emotions run rampant, making for a read that got my heart pumping and my palms sweaty. It seems that Robb herself is a mastermind at playing with human emotions.
Roarke displays a fiercer side of himself and boy, was I along for the ride! I just adore it when Roarke steps up!
And, I have to puff up my chest a bit when I say this because for the first time I can remember, I figured out the killer before it was revealed. Yes, yes I shall pat myself on the back for it and give myself an A. But in all seriousness, I take it as a personal challenge whenever I read an In Death book. Robb’s books always make me think and I love how engaging each book feels whenever I immerse myself in this world. It never fails to entertain me.
No In Death review of mine is complete without Roarke…

I love Nora Roberts but I’ve never read any of her JD Robb’s books. Thanks for the review Ann.
Lori, her voice is amazing in every book she writes, but I think I love the darker nature of the Robb books more than her Roberts! Hope you try it out one time!
Good review – I simply love the JD Robb books – though I love a lot of “Nora’s” too….lol
She’s such a fab writer!
I haven’t read this series but I’ve heard great things about it so I’ll definitely give it try, must admit that it’s a bit daunting to start a series that has so many books
LOL I know what you mean! But once you start, you can’t really stop! You get so invested in the world and the characters!
