Portrait in Death (In Death)

Date undefined

I keep waiting for this series to do the inevitable slump, but nope, not yet :-) Portrait in Death is just as fantastic as the previous In Death novels from this author. Kept me guessing to the end. Fantastic characterisation. And I loved seeing more of Roarke, of course.

Portrait in Death (In Death)

Date undefined

Nora Roberts (as J.D. Robb and otherwise) is typically a good writer with an excellent rhythm and a distinctive writing style. I've read a lot of her work and can't believe she wrote this book. The language is bland, the descriptions off, the characters constantly described rather than shown. Everything falls flat. I couldn't get past the first few lines and am extremely annoyed at having wasted my money on this terrible piece of work. If you've read any of her other "In Death" books, you won't be able to believe this was written by the same author. I can't, and won't be buying any more books with Roberts' name on them. I like to know that the book I'm reading is actually written by the person whose name is on the cover.
