Summary: Good mystery, fairly good romance!
Review: A good read, but not my favorite. It is a good mystery although you will figure out "who done it" quickly. I like the interaction again of Peabody, McNab & Furst. I would like to see more of Feeney. Story plot is rather good "bad cops being killed", and bad guys running loose. I just feel there was something missing to make it click more. Her best in the series is "Witness in Death" and it will be a hard one to top. Still, one of the better near-future books, with romance (not enough in my opinion), mystery, suspense and unknown secrets. At least more of Dallas's past comes to light with the continuing series. Keep up the writing Nora, we cannot wait for the next one!

Summary: Best so far.
Review: This book is the best in the In Death series. It has a very complex plot line, and you don't figure out who the killer is until the last minute. The relationship between Roarke and Eve is wonderful, and fun to watch. I can't wait for the next one.

Summary: A great addition to the series!
Review: Judgment in Death is the 12th book in the "in Death" series by J. D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts). Lieutenant Eve Dallas is called in to investigate the death of an moonlighting cop, Taj Kohli, in a classy strip club where he worked as bartender. As you might expect by now, the club belongs to Eve's husband Roarke. The case, however, is going to be tricky: dirty cops and departmental coverups that halt Eve at every turn. As she works hard to solve the case she earns enemies in somewhat unusual places: the dead cop's commander, Captain Roth, and the head of Internal Affairs, Captain Bayliss. One of her many leads leads her to Ricker, an old associate of Roarke who has been waiting years to get revenge on Roarke for taking away some of his business years ago. He'd love it if he could take Eve down as well, and is not above sending goonsqads to take care of her. Also returning to the book are Peabody, McNab, Feeney, Dr. Mira, Mavis, and Webster (of the IAB). If you liked the other books in the "in Death" series you'll love this one.

Summary: Not the best.
Review: I found the latest In Death book slightly disappointing. The mystery was interesting, but the lives of the characters remained static. Even the dialog, funny at times, seemed a bit stale. There was no progress in their relationships. Eve and Roarke have a fight, and the making-up covers more than half of the personal aspect of the book, but it wasn't anything new. Peabody and McNab make NO progress at all. As for Eve's past, the one new developement came late in the book and seemed tossed in as an afterthought. Coming on the heels of Witness, which was brilliant and satisfying on all levels, I would have to say that Judgement, which will have to hold me for at least six months, was a let-down.

Summary: Another winner from Robb
Review: Read this book in a day. I guessed who the killer was early in the book but that did not spoil the book. There is conflict between Roarke and Eve during the story and this added extra sparks to the story. I never liked futuristic books before I read the first Robb book but once you start reading you forget the books are set in the mid 21st century. The way Robb writes her mystery stories have you hooked and generally from page one. Once I finish her latest book I can't wait till her next and I'm not alone I have other friends that I have hooked on Eve Dallas and Roarke.

Summary: Best one yet
Review: Reading J.D. Robb is like revisitng old friends. This novel does not dissappoint. I love watching the developement of Eve, Roarke, and the rest of the group. This was a great story intertwined with personal struggles. It's a pager turner. I hope that first time readers will start with Naked in Death and read the series in order. My advice is to read it twice. I cannot wait until the next installment.

Summary: Awesome, but i expected nothing less
Review: JD Robb's books are addictive. A great book, a rather surprise ending. Eve and Roarke, hmmm, well what else can you say? I just have two questions. When is the next one coming out? What's the name? Oh, I wanna know what happened to the sex toy!!!!!

Summary: Another Great Book by J. D. Robb!!!!
Review: Judgment in Death is another great book by J. D. Robb aka Nora Roberts!!! The futuristic romance/mystery series centers around Lt. Eve Dallas and her husband Roarke.Judgment in Death invovles the death of a police officer and secrets he kept. Robb also keeps the development of secondary characters Peaboy, McNab, and Dr. Mira coming along very well. Judgment in Death is a great balance romance and mystery and a MUST READ for any of J.D. Robb fan!!

Summary: Another great installment
Review: I have to admit upfront that I am biased -- I am very much an Eve Dallas fan. So I am perhaps not the most judicious critic. But this latest installment is very well done, I think. Don't want to give the plot away, so I'll just say that the combination of professional problems and personal issues are well defined and work together to make a fascinating story. My only criticism (which is not new) is that Roarke seems too perfect, almost a cardboard cut-out of a hero. And Dallas seems to always be apologizing to him for who she is, while he goes along merrily interferring in her cases and buying everything in sight. I'd highly recommend this book to all J.D. Robb fans. To those who are new to the series, this is a good book, but to really enjoy it, you should start reading at the beginning of the series.

Summary: An Admirable Continuation!
Review: Nora Roberts, writing as JD Robb, has once again given readers more of the things that are so appealing to loyal readers of the "... In Death" series: ordinary yet extraordinary characters and believable yet fantastic situations. Eve Dallas is standing for the dead, as always, yet this time it is for a fellow cop. Unlike "Ceremony...", in which the murder of a cop is the starting point, the murder of the cop in this remains, essentially, the focus of the story. The identity of the killer "could" be obvious to some but there is complexity to the situation. And yes, Roarke is involved - as always! The usual host of characters make appearances but most are in new and, at times, surprising capacities. Readers have seen, over the course of the series, the growth and development of the Eve/Roarke relationship - this book continues that fascinating and compelling journey. It also shows the ever-interesting relationships between: Eve/Mavis, Eve/Peabody, Eve/Mira... along with some surprises. Anyone who has read and enjoyed other books of the "... In Death" series will be pleased but not surprised - it is, after all, what we want and expect! (A well written and compelling story!) It is not a book to pick up as first of the series, the development of these characters is crucial to many aspects, but it admirably continues the series. Am I glad that I took the time to read it? YES. Will I re-read it? YES. Will I pass it on to friends? YES. Was it worth the money? EVERY PENNY! Will I buy the next book the day it comes out? WITHOUT A DOUBT!
