" "Salvation", a bit like "Strangers" before it, moves JD Robb's In Death series into a more traditional detective story mold. Of course it wouldn't be an Eve Dallas story if things didn't get gritty and occasionally disturbing with a heaping dollop of creative profanity. But what we have here is an emphasis on the mystery itself and peeling back the layers until truth is found and justice achieved. Of course I really read these stories for the characters, and Eve, Rourke, Peabody and crew are in top form here. An extremely satisfying read! "

" I have been reading this series from the beginning. I enjoyed this one the least. I may be burning out on the series. Or I may just be irritated with another secular author knocking Christianity without knowing what they are talking about. Page 189: "Salvation must be earned." The whole point of Christianity is that salvation can NOT be earned. It is a free gift but it was not cheap. Reading about Christians with a derogatory tone from a clueless author really REALLY irks me. "

" Good mystery in this one. I sometimes feel these books are a little predictable, but this one was good. A couple of secondary storylines that all connect into the main murder investigation. Good Roarke and Eve stuff. My one gripe is that Eve's childhood trauma is starting to be used as a story crutch. Seems like every case is connected to that in some way. Is Roberts stuck in a rut? "

" Nice intricate plot. Better than her usual in that way. "

" Not much new to say about this one. The case involves the murder of a Catholic priest during a funeral rite. Hence the novelty is seeing how Eve and Roarke deal with religion. Let's just say awkwardly. *g* There are also people involved with the case that remind Eve of her childhood and remind Roarke of his. "

" This book really had an interesting mystery with twists - unlike some of the authors' previous books in the series. I enjoyed this quite a bit. "

" She actually managed to surprise me with the "who done it" of this one. which is always more fun then when you figure it out in chapter 3... "

" Good, but took me a while to get thru it. "

" This one seemed to have a particularly long and involved storyline, especially with the throwing in of the parallel investigation and also the crimes in the past. It introduced some interesting characters as well (including hot priests?). "

" This is the first JD Robb I have ever read and I enjoyed it. I didn't realize that it took place in the future but it isn't crazy futuristic. It was a great mystery and I didn't have it figured out! Will read more of her. "

" Perhaps I'll make it through this whole series. She offers a slightly different background for her murder mysteries and that combined with the question often looming what is right from wrong, makes for good quick read. "

" Dallas does religion..... and not surprisingly with an air if caution. Yet again though, she is in a steep learning curve which leaves her enriched as a person, if more despairing of the inhumanity people can wreak on even their closest allies. As ever, a triumph for Ms Roberts, more power to her. "

" Ah, another great Lieutenant Eve Dallas and Roarke book! You can see the action as if watching a movie while you read.

" This was a great JD Robb book. JD Robb's mysteries are always a book I read in 1 or 2 days because I do not want to put the book down. She is fun writer and it is a light read.

" I like how Eve's softer, more emotional side is coming out in the later books in the In Death Series. Could've used more of it based in Ireland, but that's a personal preference, not a flaw.All in all a good read, hard to put the book down.

" This wasn't my favorite Death book. I really liked the beginning, but it lagged big time in the middle, and raced to the finish, and had an abrupt ending. It seemed to take me a long time to read this one.
