Stolen in Death by J. D. Robb

by 7 Comments

Stolen in Death is J. D. Robb’s 62nd installment in her long running In Death series. To give you perspective about how long she’s been writing these, the first installment, Naked in Death was published in 1995. Bill Clinton was still in his first term as President, women everywhere were listening to Alanis Morisette’s Jagged Little Pill on repeat, and Clueless made yellow plaid iconic. At this point, J. D. Robb has a definite formula for these books. Something terrible happens to someone, Lt. Eve […]

by 6 Comments

Hi, Classic! Thanks so much for agreeing to participate in our interview! I see from your Cannonball Read profile that you’ve been participating in and off since CBR 9. How did you find us? I used to post on Pajiba, and reading Pajiba Love, I saw that there were often book reviews and I started to read the reviews that were linked.

Framed in Death by J.D. Robb

Framed in Death by J.D. Robb

Please note that I received this book from NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This is the 61st Eve Dallas/In Death book and I am not going to do a rundown really. This gets 4 stars since even though it gets a little paint by numbers here and there, it was still solid. I liked this one more than the last book in the series. In this book, Eve/Peabody and others are after an Artist who is focused on hiring LCs/street workers […]

58th Verse, same as…

Random in Death (In Death #58) by J. D. Robb

by 6 Comments

J. D. Robb is back with the 58th installment of her long-running In Death series, Random in Death. For those of you who don’t know, Robb is the nom de plume that Nora Roberts uses to write futuristic mysteries. We are getting uncomfortably close to the time when a lot of bad stuff happens in her timeline, and I sometimes wonder just how prescient she has been. But that’s a discussion for another time and place. If you are a longtime reader of the series, you will […]

There is a whole In Death wiki, which could easily become a rabbit hole

Payback in Death by J.D. Robb

by 1 Comment

Every January (except last year, where I clearly didn’t even try to lie to myself, I tell myself that I’m going to actually review books this year. And every February I fail. But I’ve come to the conclusion (with maybe some well-placed words from my therapist) that I need some mental health moments, and this is one of them, so even if I only last till February or only review six books, I’m still doing it. And it doesn’t matter if I only review a […]
