Robb, J.D.: (07) Holiday in Death: A little while ago, when I was wandering around trying to decide what to read (and eventually settling on Lords and Ladies), I thought to myself, "Gee, a J.D. Robb book would really hit the spot. Too bad I...
Robb, J.D.: (12.5) "Interlude in Death": I've got a new Eve/Roarke story by J.D. Robb, and I'm happy. Yeah, it's a guilty pleasure (I explain a little bit about the background in a review of Conspiracy in Death). But it's a pleasure all the same. The...
Robb, J.D.: (13) Seduction in Death: I've actually finished two novels since I last updated this, but one of them was part of a three-novel omnibus, so I'll wait until I've finished the whole thing to comment on it. So last night I read Seduction...
Robb, J.D.: (14) Reunion in Death: When I read the last Eve/Roarke novel, Seduction in Death, I rather wanted Eve to face her evil twin, a woman killing off rapists and the like. Well, it's not quite ask and ye shall receive: in J.D. Robb's...
Robb, J.D.: (15) Purity in Death: As an unexpected bonus, my trip to get Lady Knight also netted me the new J.D. Robb novel, Purity in Death, which I wasn't expecting to see out for another week or two. I'm used to getting the September...
Robb, J.D.: (16) Portrait in Death: I drop everything when a new J.D. Robb novel comes out, so I finished Portrait in Death next after Feet of Clay. This came out after Boskone, and I was vastly amused to see that a number of comments...
Robb, J.D.: (17) Imitation in Death: When we got off the plane at O'Hare, nearly the first thing I saw was J.D. Robb's Imitation in Death, the latest Eve/Roarke novel. This was a pleasant surprise, as I'd seen it listed as a September release, so I...
Robb, J.D.: (17.5) Remember When (with Nora Roberts): Remember When was written by Nora Roberts and J.D. Robb. Who are the same person. More specifically, J.D. Robb is a pseudonym of Roberts, a very popular romance writer. The pseudonym was never that secret—I forget how exactly I...
Robb, J.D.: (18) Divided in Death: One of the benefits of an ongoing series is that an author can build up an extended cast: for instant conflict, just put one of the cast in danger. Over the many "in Death" books, the friends and colleagues...
Robb, J.D.: (19) Visions in Death: Visions in Death, by J.D. Robb, was this fall's installment in the ginormous Eve/Roarke series. No Roarke being awful, no relationship angst, just a (nearly) straightforward serial-killer tale—refreshing. I do think Robb ought to kill off one of the repertory...
Robb, J.D.: (20) Survivor in Death: I appear not to have logged Survivor in Death, the prior J.D. Robb novel, when it was released this winter, so will catch up on it now. This was actually a good one, I thought; an entire family has...
Robb, J.D.: (21) Origin in Death: Last night, I was in a great mood. I'd filed one set of pretrial papers and two summary judgment motions (collectively approaching 500 pages, probably) that day and the day before, I was taking off the night and the...
Robb, J.D.: (22) Memory in Death: J.D. Robb's Memory in Death is a welcome return to the personally-based mystery after the appalling conspiracy mode of Origin. Eve Dallas' former foster mother shows up, shakes Eve badly by causing Eve to remember her time in foster care,...
Robb, J.D.: (23) Born in Death: J.D. Robb's Born in Death is the book where poor Mavis finally gets to give birth. (She's been pregnant since book 15, Purity, and this is #23. This is what happens when books take at most a month each.) I...
Robb, J.D.: (24) Innocent in Death; [meta] 2007-03 commenting notes: Another late winter, another J.D. Robb book, this time Innocent in Death. An entirely harmless school teacher has been poisoned, and while the solution seems to be at his exclusive private school, Eve has a hard time getting a handle...
Robb, J.D.: (25) Creation in Death: Creation in Death, the most recent J.D. Robb novel, is a nicely-paced, straight-ahead police procedural. The killer responsible for a series of torture murders nine years ago is back, and Eve Dallas and the rest of the police department race...
Robb, J.D.: (26) Strangers in Death: One more in the fluff catch-up, J.D. Robb's latest novel, Strangers in Death. This is a pretty straightforward one: Eve, and the reader, know whodunnit quite early, and the tension comes from whether she can figure out how and then...
