Laine Tavish is an ordinary woman living an ordinary life in the small town of Angel’s Gap, Maryland, as the proprietor of Remember When, an antique treasures and gift shop. At least, that’s what everyone in Angel’s Gap thinks. They have no idea that she used to be Elaine O’Hara, daughter of the notorious con man Big Jack O’Hara. Or that she grew up moving from place to place, one step ahead of the law….
Laine’s past has just caught up with her, though—in a very dramatic way. Her long-lost uncle suddenly turned up in her shop, leaving only a cryptic warning before dying in the street, run down by a car. Soon afterward, her home is ransacked. Now it’s up to Laine, and a sexy stranger named Max Gannon, to find out who’s chasing her and why.
The answer lies in a hidden fortune—a fortune that will change not only Laine’s life but also the lives of future generations. And danger and death will surround that fortune for years to come. Until New York City detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas gets on the case.

"This book was my introduction to J.D. Robb/Nora Roberts. The first story, set in the present, is told by Nora Roberts. The second story, set in the future, is told by J.D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts). I loved the the great way the two story lines intertwined--despite the passage of time between them."

" Remember When is one of my favorite J D Robb offerings. I have read, or listened to, every one of her books at least once, most 3-4 times. She does a terrific job of giving you a clear understanding of each main character. "
— AntonyM, 2/17/2023" One of my favorites! This book depicts family dysfunction and presents a murder mystery all in one! "
— Terry, 5/24/2017" Absolutely love this book both in print and audio I love it "
— Gina, 2/20/2014" Typical Nora. A great book and two great stories. "
— Saba, 2/13/2014" I was so not into the first part. The romance between Laine and Max was just too unbelievable for me. I thought their quick hookup and marriage proposals after 2 days were just insane. The second part was pretty good, but it was a bummer that the characters from the first part weren't directly involved other than a page at the end. "
— Shae, 1/18/2014" Big Jack is exactly the second half of the J.D. Robb/Nora Roberts bookRemember When. Odd.... "
— Nanosynergy, 1/17/2014" Simplistic ~ too easy to find the killer ~ but a good romance book "
— Jena, 12/17/2013" The title threw me...it just didn't fit ... in Death. I almost didn't pick it up to read, but, hey... This is a two-in-one book with Nora Roberts working together with her alter ego, J. D. Robb, to write about a historic diamond heist. "
— Kathy, 11/7/2013" Cute idea - the Roberts part was ok, and the Robb part was a tease. Definitely need more Eve & Roarke. "
— Abby, 9/14/2013" I really liked this book with the Nora Roberts beginning and the JD Robb ending. "
— Patty, 8/5/2013" I really loved this idea. It is amazing to me that Nora Roberts can write this much and still have ideas. I love this storyline, and I love that it carried through to my absolute favorite book characters with Eve and Roarke. "
— Beth, 7/14/2013" Now published as Big Jack, I liked that it dealt in two time frames of 2003 and 2059. It's interesting having something that's in the "present" and then bouncing into the future for solving a 2003 mystery as well as a 2059 murder. This keeps you on your toes. "
— Amelia-Irene, 3/21/2013" Love Nora Roberts. Don't like her writing as J.D. Robb. It's almost like it's two different people. All of her writing style and characteristics that keep me glued to her books are lacking in this J.D. Robb book. "
— Almie, 3/14/2013" current events taken into the future. Very clever and enjoyable "
— Marta, 1/9/2013" Two part story with the first as a simple contemporary romance. The second part is a short story from the In Death series in which Eve follows the clues to solving the mystery from the first story. "
— Becca, 1/4/2013" One of my all time favorite "Dallas" stories. . . . . "
— Sherry, 8/12/2012" I really enjoyed the two parts to this book. It was a welcome intermission to the In Death series, but tied in perfectly with the second part. "
— Erin, 5/3/2012" Great book, loved the 2 different parts, and it was just really good! "
— Louisa, 4/17/2012" I struggled through the Nora Roberts portion, just to get to Robb. How silly is that? "
— Kandice, 2/17/2012" Awesome book! I loved how the characters from the Nora Roberts book intersected with the JD Robb book. Are there any others like that? "
— Marianne, 10/18/2011" Only read JD Robb. See review of BLACK JACK. "
— Crazy4more, 10/9/2011" I lost interest and didn't finish it. "
— Jennifer, 9/28/2011" First of Robb's books that I read. Loved it! "
— Kristi, 9/10/2011" Love Love Love it!!!! I like the way Nora Roberts broke this book into two parts - one in the present and one in the future. I'd like to see her do more like this :) "
— Cherise, 5/19/2011" The diamonds lost after a major heist turn up in today's generation (a romantic suspense written in the style of Nora Roberts) and two generations later are tracked down in the course of an Eve Dallas murder investigation (written in the style of J.D. Robb). "
— Joy, 5/14/2011" Nora Roberts AND J.D. Robb? What's not to love. "
— Kristin, 4/29/2011" Cute idea - the Roberts part was ok, and the Robb part was a tease. Definitely need more Eve & Roarke. "
— Abby, 4/4/2011" I liked this book. I thought it was a great way for Nora Roberts and J.D. Robb to come together. I thoght that the Nora Roberts part (part 1- present time) was rushed. The J.D. Robb portion (part 2-future) was well written and flowed like part of the series. "
— Dionne, 3/7/2011" This had an excellent first part but a boring second part. I absolutely love Simon and all his southern charm. "
— Tonya, 2/27/2011" I will never understand how I enjoy the JD Robb books so much and yet STRUGGLE to read the Nora Roberts books...something about them pain me...so this anthology/double book thing hurt "
— Hipployta, 2/20/2011" 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. "
— Carla, 1/8/2011" Now published as Big Jack, I liked that it dealt in two time frames of 2003 and 2059. It's interesting having something that's in the "present" and then bouncing into the future for solving a 2003 mystery as well as a 2059 murder. This keeps you on your toes. "
— Amelia-Irene, 12/12/2010" I really liked this book with the Nora Roberts beginning and the JD Robb ending. "
— Patty, 12/9/2010" I loved that NR combined two of her books and had them conecting like that. Both plots were awesome and honestly I loved it. "
— Andrea, 11/25/2010" Great book. quick and engaging. Earlier work I was thinking, but fun to have the two books connected. I hadn't read the JD rob in it's original form, but I quickly got hooked on eve and Roark. Cool couple. "
— Carrie, 11/2/2010" Simplistic ~ too easy to find the killer ~ but a good romance book "
