I have read all of these books. After this one I will read no more based on the VERY old-fashioned gender roles. 

I love this series. It's in my top 3 favourite series ever, and an automatic read when a new book comes out (thankfully, Nora Roberts puts out at least one new book for this series per year!). I am never disappointed and this book saw no exception.

As this is book 52 it's hard to come up with new ways to say: this is an amazing series. I love these characters more than I can describe - all of them! - and the character development Roberts gives them in each new book makes them feel even more "real" for a reader. I'm addicted to Eve, Roarke, Peabody, McNabb, Mira, Feeney, and all the other regulars in this series, and it's a treat when the next new book comes out because I know it will be pure enjoyment!

Another hit

You would think that after 51 books in the series that they would get stale or start to repeat. I am so glad that isn't the case with these books. I really love Eve and Rourke and the entire gang. I sincerely hope that this series continues on in the future!

Holy crap that was phenomenal! This is book number 52 in the In Death series and Robb has outdone herself. As usual Eve, Roarke and the team are some of the most dynamic and engaging characters I've ever come across in fiction. I've just looked at the clock and realised it's 6.30 am. I've stayed up all night reading this and it was worth it!

The case begins with a murder to be solved, and quickly expands. I was riveted as Dallas and co descend down a rabbit hole where a powerful organisation has gotten away with every kind of crime you could think of. It was fascinating and disturbing in equal measure, learning just what these people are doing behind closed doors.

As Dallas digs deeper into the order, Robb paces and builds up the tension fantastically. I could not put this down as the team put the pieces together to build their case and take down their targets.  This was also a very emotional read too. As I've mentioned, their target has committed every crime you can think of and it was intense and heartbreaking to read about.

There are some lighter moments to be enjoyed too, as favourite secondary characters make an appearance. As always, Eve has some hilarious and sarcastic observations about the world around her. I love Roarke, but Eve Dallas? I frickin' adore her. If you're into crime thrillers or romantic suspense and haven't tried this series yet, well you need to ASAP.

This is classic JD Robb, these books just get better and better. I loved this one so much
