What our customer's say!

"It's about time & pass the cigars!", I didn't think that baby would ever get here! So glad it's finally here & with Eve & co. it couldn't have been any other way than with lots of drama. Without the drama why would we keep coming back to visit. Still lots of fast paced dialog & snappy comebacks between characters as we have come to expect. Good story ribbons to untie. Keep em coming.

"4.5 stars", What are we up to now? 27? Unreal.

The Story:
The highlight of this book is the birth of Mavis's baby, and that's also the framework in which the story took place--beginning with Eve and Roarke attending a childbirth class with Mavis, and ending with the birth itself.

In the meantime, a young engaged couple who work in an accounting firm are brutally murdered, and signs point to the cause as emanating from within the firm. Later on, Tandy, a pregnant friend of Mavis's, due any day, disappears, and a teary and hormonal Mavis begs Eve to find her.

The Good:
My absolute favorite part of the book wasn't the birth of the baby; it was the dilemma provided when Commander Whitney tells Eve that there's concern about Roarke using information uncovered during the case to further his own business. This was just so well done and realistic. Roarke initially reacts in anger, and tells Eve to drop the case, demanding that she prove her priorities: him or the job. I'm not going to spoil the fun by revealing how they work it out, but this is the number one reason why even after more than a score of books, this is still one of my favorite series: the marital issues and how Eve and Roarke learn to work through them.

And to my surprise, the long-awaited birth of the baby wasn't sappy or overdone. I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised, given the experience of the rest of the series, which shies away from sappiness--Nora never showed Eve & Roarke's wedding, for example--but it was emotional, and a fitting end to the story.

Another huge plus was that Tandy's abduction hit too close to home, not for Eve this time, as so many cases have done, but for Roarke.

Of course, there were too many funny moments and great lines relating to Eve and Roarke's phobia about childbirth to count. And mostly they weren't over-the-top, and didn't grate on my nerves.

The Bad:
The explanation of the clues found in the accounting records was very muddled; we didn't get to know Tandy well enough to worry about her--in fact, I believed until very near the end that she'd end up being a villain; and the two mystery threads meshed a little too conveniently and abruptly.

The Verdict:
This isn't a story to read for the mystery--it's one to read for the characters, and they're done well enough to make up for any deficiencies in the mystery.

"Born in Death", I would really have liked to have listened to this audio book while driving. Unfortunately, it can only be heard on a computer, therefore, the only thing I can say about this product is that I would have really liked to have had the information before ordering.
Compulsive Reader

"fair", Book was shipped quickly. There was cracking and damage to the spine. Indside was in good shape.

"JD Robb", Absolutely love this series, have read every book twice and can't wait for the next one to come out.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Good, Simple, and thoroughly predictable....", To quote directly fom this book, It could accurately be described as "a little bit of fluff." But fun and entertaining fluff none the less. This series has been a welcome treat to me over the years. Once again our heroine, Eve Dallas, is thrust into the breach of a complex and violent homocide. The book goes in directions that most long time readers will find comfortingly familiar. No real surprises along the way but it was nice to see Mavis finally deliver her baby into the world. It'll be interesting to see how the story line continues to where Roarke and Eve stumble into parenthood.

JD Robb (Nora) has perfected her formula into a very enjoyable series that I look forward to reading long into the future. It's not Pulitzer or award winning literature but it is darn good...Enjoy!

"I love this series", I know when I pick up a new book in this series that I am going to enjoy reading the book. What else can you want from a series?

I don't think I've reviewed any of the earlier books, but I've just finished reading this one, and wanted to share how I felt. This is one of those series where you care about the back story and the major continuing characters as much as you care about the mystery. This book moves that back story along. You discover a lot about all of the continuing characters and their strengths and weaknesses. That is part of the charm of the series.

You also have a very interesting mystery to deal with. Or rather a pair of mysteries that could not be solved if what looked like two different mysteries were not being worked by the same person.

You are going to enjoy this.

"Pretty good mystery ", This as all the books in the series was enjoyable if I forget the "futuristic" element which is quite silly. The renaming of current things like cell for "pocket link" as an example doesn't show much imagination. Moreover, the fashions seem more today than tomorrow! Even though the merging of the 2 cases in the novel is a "little" unbelievable, it is a pretty good mystery story and the relationships between the diverse characters is fun.

"Series is getting tired....", The series is becoming too predictable. While reading this book on an airplane, I kept thinking, haven't I read this before? The dialogue feels like it was picked up from another one of the "In Death" series and woven together to create a new book. The flashbacks to Eve and Roarke's childhoods are becoming trite and maudlin. I read very quickly just to get to Mavis's baby being born, which of course is at the end of the book. Don't think I'll be reading more of this series.

"Born to read J.D.Robb", Born in Death is probably the best to date in this series. It shows a maturity in the characters and plot line that has really evolved with each new addition. It is truly one of my favorite mystery series because I love the futuristic but not sci-fi setting. The author allows you to use your own imagination to fill in the look and feel of a 2060 world. I raced through the book and am left to wait for the next installment...ah how time will drag.
