Strangers in Death (In Death)
Date undefinedNora Roberts, never let's me down when it come to Eve Dallas. I love how she has let us see her grow into her relationships with Roarke, and the rest of the crew. All I can say if you have not read any of these books go and get them.

Date undefinedI love this series. This book is exciting, funny, and romantic. It grabs you fast and you just have to hang on until the end. It is strictly an adult book, and a great read.
Strangers in Death (In Death)
Date undefinedI don't know how many novels about Eve Dallas I've read. I started at the beginning before she met Roarke and have kept going. This one is as satisfying as all the others. The familiar cast of characters is here, each one doing their thing, all still evolving and growing in their roles. In this one, there are two murders: a beloved sporting goods magnet is found dead in bed, apparently the result of kicky sex gone wrong, and a no-good straying husband who seems to have been killed by the woman he picked up in a bar. Wrong! It doesn't take Eve long to suspect a specific person, the one person everyone thinks couldn't possibly be guilty of such a crime, and the way she solves both crimes is great. The climax when she's facing the killer is satisfying because, when it happens, she does exactly what a lot of the readers will probably be wanting to do. Other climaxes are on a more personal level--more interaction between the richest man in the world and his police lieutenant wife. In this one, they have one of their rare arguments--over his money and her lack of it--before the inevitable making-up. Watch out for the scene in Roarke's steamy, heated swimming pool. If the water wasn't hot before Eve slid into it, it certainly is afterward! One of the things I particularly like about these books are the exchanges between Eve and Peabody, and Eve and Roarke--and the obvious love these two characters--who have both had hard lives and are still to a certain extent picking their way through their relationship. This book is up the same high standards as the other novels and is one I recommend.
