THE FIRST NOVEL IN J. D. ROBB’S #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING IN DEATH SERIES
In the year 2058, technology completely rules the world. But for New York City Detective Eve Dallas, one irresistible impulse still rules the heart: passion… survival depends on her instincts. And she’s going against every warning telling her not to get involved with Roarke, an Irish billionaire—and a suspect in Eve’s murder investigation. But passion and seduction have rules of their own, and it’s up to Eve to take a chance in the arms of a man she knows nothing about—except the addictive hunger of needing his touch.

I enjoyed this series until the more recent books in it but this one is an earlier one and well worth the read. Roberts does a masterful job of quickly, briefly giving one a feel for the ambiance of the scene without being wordy. The characters good and bad guys are so memorable I can’t put the book down once I start. It’s gritty, with an …
I absolutely love this series. Set in the future, detective Eve Dallas searches for a murderer while fighting the ghosts of her past. Add Rourke, an irresistible Irish millionaire, and this book has everything.
This first in the incomparable Nora Roberts writing as JD Robb gem of a series is now only $2.99 on amazon. Nora Roberts is one of the reasons I wanted to do what I do. The way she spins a tale is unbelievable and if you love her work, then this series which features a recurring sexy AF couple will grab you and never let you go. There aren’t …
Where has this series been all my life? 🙂 I recently began exploring the In Death world, and I can’t get enough. I’m reading them so fast my bank account is a bit wide-eyed. The touches of futuristic world building are just enough without being overwhelming, and the romance is compelling despite the fact that book one doesn’t end with an HEA. …
My all-time favorite author. Can’t get enough of her! Read everything she writes!
Nora Roberts has always been one of my fave authors for romance and romantic suspense. But since she has been writing the futuristic “In Death” series as J.D. Robb, it has escalated her as a one-click author for me in ANY genre. I admit at first I wasn’t sure if I could read an ongoing series, but she has created such an interesting, futurist …
This is another series I follow. Totally creative and involved plots. This is book #1 in the “in Death” series and one of my favorites.
DALLAS! What more is there to say.
This is book one, of a fabulous futuristic mystery series set in the 2060’s. Eve Dallas is a Homicide detective who is “married” to her job. She is a loner who meets her match during a murder investigation. As much as she struggles against it she is pulled into a new world with friends & romance.
Must read the series in order so you see Eve …
Love this book
You will fall in love with Dallas. Hard to put down. Kinda a Cinderella story, but with a harder character. This is a great series.
One of my all time favorite series. You will fall in love with Dallas & Roarke & all of the continuing characters. I wait impatiently for each new book.
Eve is an adventure in and of herself. Following how her mind works through the crime to find a criminal is unique. The world she lives in is unique while still staying close to real life. Great read from start to finish you wont want to stop reading the rest once you start.
When recommender I wasn’t sure it was my kind of story but characters have captured my heart
The first of an amazing series. I can hardly wait for the nest sequel. I love the characters, they’re very well developed and each sequel introduces more, making the main characters more likable and the whole more rounded. I recommend reading the entire series if 50+ books!
What I love most about this character “Eve” is that this is a very powerful woman who gets the job done and doesn’t take any cramp. She has, worked her way up to captain. She gets out there and gets her hands dirty and doesn’t wait for others to do the work or just bring her results; she is on it. Eve is Powerful.
When I started this series I didn’t have this review blog and I just realized I have been selfishly keeping this series to myself. I just finished reading the 51st book, and was reflecting on how much these characters have grown since the first book. So I pulled out the paperback to read and found the print too small to read. So now I have a …
Great detective story and quite the sexy sizzle between Eve and Roarke. For a book written in 1995 and set in 2058, this book is so 2020/21! It’s fun to see how many of the futuristic things are now commonplace. It’s also scary how human nature never changes. I think Nora is a little psychic. Highly recommend to anyone who likes detective stories. …
This book was absolutely addictive. Eve Dallas is assigned to investigate a brutal murder where an Irish billionaire is the suspect. The murder is super creepy and whoever did it is stalking her. Her prime suspect, Roarke, is also pursuing her in a different way. This had the feel of romantic suspense crossed with a standard police procedural. I …
LOVE this hot take on a futuristic world. It’s not in your face SciFi, but definitely believable evolution of technology and society. The main character, Eve Dallas, is a kick-ass crime solving heroine, and is part of my inspiration for my own main character.
