Review:I'd like to preface this review by saying I really do enjoy the In Death books - I'm rereading the series, having read all but the newest at least once. SPOILER WARNING: There are some spoilers, but probably nothing you won't see coming.

That said, I am noticing this time through the series, and in this book in particular, that she really relies on cliches and improbability a bit too much. The romance between Clarissa and Zeke does have a twist in the end, but wading through the cliched c... Read more

Review:Great stories In Death series one of my favorites.The adventures of Eve, Roark, and all NYPSD homicide police I wish this could be a tv series. If you have not read any before this book with amazon I like how they list series in order start at begining you be disappointed. Enjoy Read more

Review:This story was extra hard for Eve and Roarke because a little girl needed their help and we all know they have a difficult time with kids because of their past. I loved seeing Eve lost with the kid and asking for help. Roarke was perfect in this story and became such a cute guy talking about kids, yes, plural, almost gave Eve a heart attack.

The story was simple to me and after Eve realised revenge was the reason, she nailed fast the person responsible. I liked to see Peabody again and it... Read more

Review:This series is my favorite out there. It contains the same characters in every volume but still manages to stay very fresh and interesting. The crimes in each are creepy, strange and anything but predictable, and the relationships between the characters are developing on pace. I hope Nora Roberts, er J.D. Robb, continues this series indefinitely. The books certainly entertain me and are the entertainment highlights of every spring and fall! Read more

Review:I never put spoilers in my reviews.
J D Robb (Nora Roberts) is one of the few authors I reread. Everything about the "in death" novels is quality writing and defies genre labeling.
From the relationship between Dallas and Rourke, the mystery/thriller storyline, an extremely strong female role model, the secondary characters, the setting, well, everything, you just can't wait for the next one. Robb shows that a woman can be strong and capable despite soul crippling events in her life. I hav... Read more

Review:This was a great "In Death" installment. I felt so many emotions while reading Promises in Death. To share the emotions would mean sharing spoilers and I don't want to spoil the story for you. Just know there is a rollercoaster ride of surprises in this book.

We see Eve Dallas at her best while wrestling conflicting emotions this murder uncovers. I loved the "smart women" briefing!

I highly recommend this book. You won't be sorry. Read more

Review:No long disertation on the plot lines... Awesome series, Awesome characters. They just keep getting better. (And although it's not really required, I would recommend that you read them in order... I ALOT more fun that way. Start with Naked In Death and just keep going...) Read more

Review:In this 14th novel in the In Death series, we pick up the story two weeks after the conclusion of the previous novel. Eve Dallas and Roarke have just returned from a much-needed vacation and are only about one week away from celebrating their first wedding anniversary. When Eve returns to work the next morning, she comes face to face with – nothing. Her office has been completely cleaned and repainted. Her desk is completely clear of old files and her in-box is empty.

However, within twe... Read more

Review:This story has got to be one of the very best in the series. However, it couldn't and wouldn't be what it is without the development of the characters as a result of the previous 23 stories, attributing Eve's growth as a "sensitive" human being and substantiating her position as NYC's top homicide lieutenant, no matter how intense her personal life issues become. The storyline takes on two primary matters. One, a murder in an upscale elementary school - Sarah Child Academy, of a young history... Read more

Review:I was enjoying my first JD Robb when this horrible factual error showed up and kept beingn repeated. This must have driven any British fans bonkers. Fact Cornwall is the Southern most County in England. Fact residents ie. detectives would not speak with a "Broad Northern Accent" unless they put in for transfer. This obvious error is a horrible distraction and I hope that it isn't true of all JD Robb books or this will be first and last. Read more
