A year ago,I started at the beginning of the series - a must - and found myself flipping thru the heated love portions of the book. I am not sure why I stayed with the series as the early ones were more romance oriented and certainly not sci-fi. Also, many of the stories are filled with sexual violence and made me very uncomfortable. I think I have hung in because I have seen a wonderful development of characters and more stories without all the sexual overtones. As I read on I hope to see the series move more toward traditional mystery genre. Divided in Death was one of my favorites as it was more of a mystery, less violent and spoke to issues like government organizations that are created to keep us safe but sometimes misuse their powers and usurp freedoms. Loved this read!

This story was a great plot idea. It was a PHENOMENAL concept. Unfortunately, when concept met substance, substance suffered. Apparently there just wasn't enough to keep the conflict moving. There just wasn't enough to make a full story, so there were a hundred side trips and subplots into a story that did not flow well.
Having said that, Eve Dallas et al are a complete cast of characters. They have strengths and weaknesses. They have quirks and foibles that make them human. You relate to them as if they are part of your family. This was a part of their story and I did enjoy the story development with Feeney and Dallas. Though it wasn't the center of the plot, it really seemed to be foreshadowing what might come later.
It definitely showed that they have a history. And it gave Roarke a chance to prove what a man he is.
As to the plot itself, Nora Roberts/JD Robb created a secret society/organization that is extremely realistic. For those who believe in such things as the 9/11 conspiracy and what not, you'll probably believe that Nora Roberts has created some new sort of Bible code, prophecying the end of the world.....
For the rest of us, there will be only what there is. A well-written story that would have been more suited for a short story or as a subplot to a larger plotline....
Just my opinion.

Robb does it again. Can't put the books in this series down. Just read her newest "Strangers in Death". Can't wait for the next. I read one book and got hooked. Not just Eve and Roarke but the whole gang. I went back and ordered the entire series and read from the beginning. It flows so you feel like you can "see" everything and puts you right there with them. Although each book can stand alone, reading from the beginning of the series is SOOO much better.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I am hooked on the Eve Dallas series by J D Robb.

This is the very first "In Death" book I have read in a long time. In fact, so long that I cannot remember the other book I have read. But I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I read for entertainment. Not to be "educated" (with the number of murder mysteries I read, my husband would be worried), not to be "enlightened", but merely to enjoy myself. I want my characters to be likable. I want the plots to be clever - not so convoluted they are contrived and not so simple I fall asleep. But just enough twists and turns to keep my attention and the lights on (instead of getting my much-needed sleep).
Ms. Roberts fulfills all of the above and more. She gives me a future that is plausible (I want one of those Auto-Chefs - NOW!!!). In Eve and Roarke she gives me great characters - a little flawed (aren't we all?) but great people, nonetheless. Plots are interesting - just enough twists to keep me turning the pages.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants an interesting, enjoyable and highly entertaining read - likely to keep you up well into the wee small hours of the morning.
