Summary: Fantastic series.
Review: This book tops the last book. Eve Dallas is in her element and closing in on the culprits and and taking everyone in and justice is served or is it? My favorite of the series so far. Purity justice served or more vicious killing by a virus that is spread to its victim online, this raises a moral issue and very emotional to Eve for past and present. All my favorite characters are in this one, and finally Mavis reappers and in a very big and futuristic way and brings a surprising announcement to Eve,I loved how Eve reacts to this. Will Portrait have more of Mavis,I hope because she is one of my favorits. I missed a lot Summerset and Eve's constant bickering, but I know he will be back. Read this book, you will not be disappointed. These characters are all like family to me.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not The Best In The Series
Review: I have been a fan of this series since "Naked in Death," several years back. I have read virtually each book in the series at least twice. So, I look forward to each new installment as anxiously as the next fan. But I've gotta say that this book didn't quite do it for me. I read with a feeling of deja vu. Even the scenes with Roarke and Eve didn't totally engage me. Nora Roberts puts out a huge volume of work each year. Maybe too much -- spreading her creative energy too thin. Still, I am looking forward to the next book. In the meantime I will just re-read another In Death favorite.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: loved it!
Review: I've been reading this series since the first one and I have loved them all. this one is no exception. nora roberts is the greatest writer. I love the way this whole story has developed over the years and how each one is still fresh in it's own way. I love these characters, this story line, and it's great to be able to keep coming back. I can't wait for the next installment.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hey Nora - When's it due?
Review: I'd read that you've said that Eve and Rourke will never have kids. You said "What's the first thing to go after a baby comes." Great sex, right. But hey, this is fiction written by one of the best. If anyone can whip up a baby and great sex, it's you.

Come on Nora. We're all in the waiting room already.

Summary: Eve from the Past, to Eve of the Future. How does she do it?
Review: I used to hate reading. My mother would have to bribe me to read in school. It was aweful. I tried to get into book or to even like them, I just couldn't find things that could grab my attention and hold it.
I recently attended colleg in California, where my Gram reads all her books faithfully and got me hooked! I can't imagine not reading her books. I have sent myself on a mission to read all of Mrs. Roberts books, so far I have a lot in my collections and am patintly awaiting her new releases.
In 'Purity in death' I am just stunned she gets me eveytime, I sit there going who is it and what are they up to next. She is amazing, and I have to congragulate her on her many and wonderful accoplishments,. Thank you for doing what you do best Mrs. Roberts I truly enjoy reading your work!

Summary: A Purely Fantastic Read!
Review: Once again, Eve Dallas is standing for the dead. Some new computer virus is targeting people, and though Eve has no respect for what the victims did while they were living, she'll find who murdered them. The further down she digs, the higher up their suspects seem to go.

As Eve and Roarke try to follow their leads back to the killers, Peabody and McNab draw closer. And another secondary character announce big news that makes Eve squirm.

Reading the "In Death" series is like coming home. The mystery is always engrossing, but it's watching the characters develop, watching their relationship evolve, that keeps bringing me back for more.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not her best work
Review: Okay, I'm disappointed in this one. I worried about the ongoing quality of the series after Roberts/Robb committed to publishing 2 books/year in this series; look at how many new Nora Roberts/J. D. Robb titles were already coming out a year. When they were released on an 8-9 month schedule it seemed possible, but this is inhuman and it shows. (Of course, the ghostwriter rumor could be true. I gave it no credence until I read the first 4 chapters of Purity..., now it sounds a little more credible.)

Having said that, bad J. D. Robb is still much better than most of what gets published. I stayed up way too late to finish it. If you like the series and the characters, you'll like it, but it's not the tour-de-force that Naked in Death is.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The characters continue to grow
Review: I bought this the day it was released. I stayed up into the wee hours of the night to finish it. The characters of Eve, Roarke, Peabody, NcNab etc continue to grow in the depth of the characters interactions between people. Eve is learning how give and take in a relationship, with out being constantly reminded. The secondary characters really make this story. I won't ruin the plot line, but this a real page turner.

I can't wait for the next one to come out in March 2003.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved the new Robb!
Review: Lt. Eve Dallas is back in another action packed who dun it. Citizens of New York are under assault from a group who calls themselves The Purity Seekers. Granted the only ones targeted are the bad guys; drug dealers, pedophiles, and flesh procurers. The method of assault is a computer virus that can be transmitted through the computer into the human brain. Eve, along with the yummy Roarke and a few other recurring cast members, sets out to solve the crime before any innocent bystanders get caught in the crossfire. As if that weren't enough on Eve's plate, she gets lessons in the much dreaded game of politics and public relations.

With Ms. Robb's usual flair, she presents a story full of ...-kicking action and a pretty nifty plot line. Dialogue is at times witty and others heart wrenching. We see the return of several delightful characters that have been missing for the past few books. Namely Jamie, Baxter, Webster, Trueheart, and Mavis (who makes a brief but important appearance).

Purity in Death ranks fairly low on the gore scale ' its no worse than any other thriller or mystery. Foul language is medium on the sailor scale ' about like NYPD Blue. 'Adult Content and Nudity/Sex Scenes' - well, it is pretty steamy and if this offends you just skip the pages. They don't happen that often. J As far as how this book ranks along with the rest of the series' It's okay. There have been others in the series with more excitement. I would think of this one as a 'secondary' character book; meaning that Ms. Robb seems to be focusing more on the development of secondary characters than with Eve and Roarke. It was a very enjoyable read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Go DALLAS!
Review: Eve as always, does it again. This book had alot more emotional pull than previous ones. Eve is gaining a sense of family that is great to see. Her character is really growing!

No real fights w/Roarke in this one. Mainly it is interpersonal developments with Peabody & McNab, Feeney & Eve, Eve & Mavis.
Also we got Jamie Lindstrom. I think that we have everyone in this book. Alot more character development in this one with Trueheart, and (gasp) Mrs. Whitney and Eve get along again.

If stuff like this keeps happening, I think that Eve and Roarke will be having children soon!!!

Definately a keeper! Don't hesitate, go buy it!!
