Rating:  Summary: Lieutenant Eve Dallas rides again... Review: Success is not necessarily a good thing. When you are a homicide lieutenant and in the public eye it just makes you a target for trouble. This time it is a terrorist group that calls itself "Cassandra" who choose Lieutenant Eve Dallas as their contact point for demands. They might be ridiculous demands but the threats aren't mere threats and the New York police of the year 2058 find themselves knee deep in bodies as the city's well-known buildings are targets for bombings.
It began with a murder of a man by his cuckolded mistress and ends with a city in hostage. Eve and her fellow police officers are racing against the clock to find out the true identities of the puppet masters that hide behind a paper trail of false company fronts. "Cassandra" claims to be an organization with many zealous members, but Eve has the feeling that it may all boil down to just one fanatic with a heck of a lot of scary friends.
Firing on all cylinders from where we left her at the end of the previous novel, Lieutenant Dallas cuts through the garbage with her customary snarling style and brutal effectiveness. The usual suspects are there to assist, and we get a great sub plot happening with her assistant Peabody that has been on the boiler for the last few books in this series. Husband Roarke lives another day, just, to win a few more hearts and snag a few more romantic fans into this best selling series that defies pigeonholing. Author Nora Roberts a.k.a. J.D. Robb can do little wrong with her "in Death" series and "Loyalty in Death" would reel in just as many new fans as it would continue to enchant the already converted.
Rating:  Summary: Another "Death" series winner... Review: Jd Robb's 9th entry in her "Death" series has Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her husband Roarke receiving threatening letters from a terrorist group. Each letter brings about a public threat/bomb that threatens civilians, property and the city. Like all the "Death" novels, the mystery and relationship between Eve and her husband are effectively blended. There is also a subplot involving Eve's police partner, Peabody and her brother. The main plot of the terrrorist threats and the subplot advance and blend seamlessly--until the end where they are eventually connected and intertwined. Its nice to get some background on Peabody and her life--each book in the series gives us more and more information on the secondary characters. In the wake of 9/11, I found that the plot of the book hit all too close to home, as New York was again targeted by terrorists. It was almost painful to read about the bombs and chilling when they go off and harm innocent civilians. Loyalty in Death is definately one of the better novels in this series.
Rating:  Summary: The Best Review: This series is the best books I have ever read I recomend for anyone to read these books. Even if you read a book out of order you will be a little confused but not to where you cant understand the book. This series will get you hooked so be prepared to want to read!!!
Rating:  Summary: Another winner... Review: What's not to like? You have Eve and Rourke's first real spat, you find out more about Peabody and McNab's sexual meltdown, you meet Peabody's brother and learn about her family, you have terrorists threatening New York (hope none of the Al Queda are readers...nah, not a woman writer with a woman character). All in all, a rollercoaster ride.
Rating:  Summary: Fantastic! Review: "Loyalty in Death" by J.D. Robb finds our tough-as-nails heroine, Lieutenant Eve Dallas of the NYPSD, pitted against a group of terrorists. This enigmatic group, known only as Cassandra, has no clear motive for the death and destruction they are causing. Indeed, it is simply the thrill of murdering the innocent and the fun of senseless destruction of property that they thrive on. So Eve, with a little help along the way from her handsome and brilliant husband Roarke, sets about finding the trail that will lead to these murdering terrorists. She uncovers a connection to a mystery that began decades before and begins putting together the pieces. But when the threats from Cassandra get a little too personal, Eve shows her true grit by putting her life on the line to save those she loves! I really can't say enough good things about this book. The mystery is thrilling and fun, and puts a fresh spin on what could have been a rather mundane topic. Eve and Roarke's relationship is as satisfying as ever in this instalment, and is still full of heart-pounding passion and exquisite tenderness. I have become so attached to Eve, Roarke and company that I feel like they are old friends - which makes picking up each new book that much better. I fly through each of Robb's books in record time, simply because I can't put them down. "Loyalty in Death" is a first-rate romantic suspense novel, in a series that is sure to impress. One word of warning though - don't start reading these books if you can't afford to buy all 13 of them, because once you read one, you have to read them all! Robb's "In Death" series is absolutely irresistible - with it's vivid and lovable characters, fascinating futuristic setting, and ever-entertaining storylines - you just can't go wrong!
