"This series just keeps getting better and better to me. I'm hooked-- more on the development of the relationships among the characters than on the mysteries, though the mysteries are good. I guessed this one early but still enjoyed how she got there. [This is the 11th in the series. READ THEM IN ORDER.]"

" I had the 'who-done-it' part figured out a little over half way through, but I am enjoying the Peabody/McNabb story line! These are books that I can put down midway through and easily come back a week or more later. I don't have a complusive need to read straight through to get to the end, but they are definitely entertaining. "
— Tamara, 2/11/2014" Okay, not the best of the series. "
— JoDee, 2/7/2014" I'm 're- reading this series with a friend... and I'm still in love with all the books. "
— Chelsealuv, 2/4/2014" To read an "in Death"... is to love the characters. Its best to start from the begining and grow with them. You actually start to think of them as friends. Roberts is by far the best writer of this century. Keep them coming. "

— Marisa, 1/13/2014" I've been reading the series in order and have enjoyed all of them. But I think this is one of the best so far. We see the main characters, Eve Dallas and Roarke, at their most vulnerable. "
— Roz, 1/8/2014" Someone is ridding NY of dirty cops. The first is bludgeoned to death in one of Roarke's clubs & is motivated by a criminal with an axe to grind from Roarke's past. Will Eve & co. catch the killer before he turns on Eve? Read & find out! "

— KristenR, 5/7/2013" Just like all the JD Robb "...in death" books, this one is a nice, good guys win, entertaining read. I love the fact that you can pick up any of these books at any time without reading them in order and still know exactly what is going on. Makes them perfect Library books! "
— Maria, 2/26/2013" The best Dallas yet, the ending was perfect. "

— Barbara, 1/15/2012" any book by J.d. Robb is good but this was really good . "

— Janet, 11/20/2011" I'm not sure who I love more--Eve or Rourke! They're both so awesome! "
— Norma, 7/25/2011" A NYPD cop is found in a bar with his head bashed in. Was he really a dirty cop? Was he the only one or was the rest of his precinct involved? Eve will have to dig deep to find a killer that may be one of their own. "

— Erin, 4/5/2011" They just keep getting better and better. I have to ask myself how does Nora Roberts do this. The interactions with Roarke and<br/>Eve are awesome and the mystery on the murder and how she figures it out are just so amazing. "
— Peggy, 3/29/2011" Covernya paling bagus diantara yang lain. <br/> <br/>Ceritanya menyentuh, dengan intrik dari Max Ricker dan sebagainya. Tapi menurut gue kebanyakan cinta-cintaan... -___- <br/> <br/>gak tahu pengarangnya atau penerjemahnya, kayaknya lagi suka banget kata 'terhina' yah? :mikir: "

— Janet, 12/22/2010" Eve Dallas is once again involved with a murder mystery. This one involving a fellow officer. Her husband's business interests are also involved. It's intriguing to see where this murder goes. Liked the reference to the 'thirty pieces of silver' angle. "
— Patricia, 11/12/2010" Just like all the JD Robb "...in death" books, this one is a nice, good guys win, entertaining read. I love the fact that you can pick up any of these books at any time without reading them in order and still know exactly what is going on. Makes them perfect Library books! "
