Summary: "Death" Part Two
Comment: Spunky police lieutenant Eve Dallas is back and tracking down a serial killer in the second book of JD Robb's (aka Nora Roberts) "In Death" series. As in the first installment, Eve's love interest, the mysterious and very rich Roarke, initially appears to be at the link between the murders. With their relationship growing stronger, this time Eve seems desperate to clear Roarke's name rather than implicate him. But fortunately for Eve there are far more suspects to concentrate on this time around. All the supporting cast are back as well, most notably Roarke's stuffy butler Summerset and Eve's wild musician friend Mavis.
"Glory In Death" continues the series' genre-bending ways. It is part-mystery, part-romance, and part-sci fi. Will it satisfy die-hard fans of each of the genres? Probably not, as one always seems to get in the way of the other. But for the rest of us, the mix provides a quick and entertaining read. It is surely enough to put the next installment, "Immortal In Death," on the "to be read" list.

Summary: great series
Comment: In this book, someone's slashing the throats of prominent and successful women. Since the suspects include family friends of Lieutenant Eve Dallas' commander and Eve's lover, Roarke, this becomes a very difficult case for her.
If you haven't read the first book, Naked in Death, I would suggest that you do that first, although this early in the series it's not as important. Just as a warning for those who have never read one of the In Death books, the mystery is not really the most important part in the book. I've heard regular mystery readers complain that they were able to figure out who committed the murders long before anyone in the books did. That wasn't the case for me - I enjoyed the mystery element in this book - but the relationships are the reason why I keep reading the series and why I reread all the books. In this book, Eve has to deal with her problems with commitment in her relationship with Roarke. The way Eve and Roarke interact is wonderful, and Eve's gradual attempts at making herself more than just a cop are interesting reading. I definitely recommend this book and series to anyone who likes well done and well paced romance with mystery and murder mixed in.

Summary: This series is worth your time!
Comment: This is the second book in the Eve Dallas series. In this futuristic world cars fly, only rich people can drink real coffee, guns are prohibited and the death penalty has been banned since 2012. Robb's imagination for putting all this together is admirable!
The mystery plot is also very good, with a killer taking out powerful women and several people popping up as likely suspects.
The final added touch is the personal relationship between Eve and billionaire Roarke. Both characters carry an emotional baggage from their childhood which is revealed little by little through the book (and will likely continue to be revealed in next installments).
With an interesting plot and full of colorful characters this book (and this series) is a must read!
