Summary: Entertaining but far from great.
Comment: My main complaint about this book (or series) is that the futuristic setting adds little; in fact, Nora Roberts' sci-fi elements seem to come more from The Jetsons than from current projections of the coming century. (For example -- flying cars and extensive space travel/colonization are both staples of old-style sci-fi, but are very unlikely to occure in the next half century). Eve Dallas could have been written in the present day and it would have worked as well.
But speaking of Eve, I'm afraid she's about as stereotypical as they come. She's sharp as a tack; she's tough as nails; she's so dedicated to her job that she pays no attention to her personal appearance -- yet she's so gorgeous and sexy that every man she meets wants her. She's her own person -- except when she meets Roarke, then she seems more than willing to subjugate herself to him (but that's okay, because she's doing so voluntarily, you see -- she's still her own person and still in control of the situation. Because she's tough and capable... hmm, I'm starting to repeat myself). Even her name is hokey: "Eve" = pure woman, sexy; "Dallas" = tough, streetwise, perfect cop name.
Then there's the writing style; I found it distracting that it's written in third person with insight into Eve's mind -- yet it slips from time to time into Roarke's mind.
All this makes it sound as if I hate the book and the series. I don't, I think they're reasonably entertaining. You just can't take it very seriously.

Summary: Naked in Death
Comment: I'm not a Sci-Fi fan, but I am a Nora Roberts fan. Writing as JD Robb, she didn't let me down. In Eve Dallas she has again created a wonderful female lead with all the flaws and passions of modern women, I love that her characters aren't dumb. I also love her enigmatic leading men. JD (Nora) writes in a seductive and lyrical manner with strong storylines and characters of depth, this novel had me rushing to buy the rest of the series, so I could follow Eve and Roarke on their escapades. Well done JD Robb, this was a page turner.
Rating: 4
Summary: Well created world
Comment: In the start of this series Robb depicts the New york of the future, where only rich people can drink real coffe, robots serve take care of household chores, cars fly and weapons are banned except for collectors...and a ruthless killer.
Lieutenant Eve Dallas is in charge of finding the responsible for a series of murders of prositutes. It gets more complicated when she falls for Roarke, a millionaire and one of the main suspects in the investigation. If you enjoyed immersing yourself in fantasy universes like the one in Lord of the Rings and you like mysteries this is a must read series for you!
