Secrets in Death
Secrets in Death | J. D. Robb
No one is going to miss Larinda Mars. A ruthless gossip queen with a lucrative sideline in blackmail, there's no lack of suspects when she's murdered in a fashionable New York bar. With so many people wanting her dead, it's going to be a tough case to crack. Lieutenant Eve Dallas may not like this particular victim, but it's her duty to bring the killer to justice. As she digs deeper into Larinda's mysterious past, it becomes clear the reporter had a unique talent for uncovering secrets. Including ones very close to home for Eve and her husband Roarke... Someone was willing to commit murder to keep their secrets hidden. And with Eve now working to uncover the truth, she and her team are heading into serious danger.

At the risk of repeating myself, yet another winner in the series. The usual humor here and stellar back-up performances from secondary characters. Our victim also doubles as a villain in this one which makes for a slew of possible suspects. My only complaint was the extremely swift “light bulb” moment and wrap up at the end. Normally there‘s a longer denouement to savor Eve‘s triumph...but that‘s OK, I‘ll take it. 😊👍

wanderinglynn Love this series! Just when you think Ms. Robb couldn‘t possibly come up with yet another way & reason to murder someone. Plus, I‘m super impressed by her writing ability. She is a writing machine! 6y
Bostonmomx2 I quit on this series maybe around Book 8 but lately have been thinking of starting over and seeing where it takes me. 6y
robinb @wanderinglynn I‘m always amazed that after so many books (currently 46, I think), she still keeps them fresh and exciting! And yes, I think she could be termed a writing machine considering she also writes under another name. Not sure how she juggles it all! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ 6y

robinb @Bostonmomx2 I‘ve kept up with it and haven‘t been disappointed at all. Her combination of fresh, innovative plots and strongly written characters that I connect with always keep me coming back for more. 6y
wanderinglynn @Bostonmomx2 I agree with @robinb. Plus, I love seeing how Eve has developed, especially her relationships with Roarke. 6y

Current read...getting caught up with Eve and Roarke and the In Death series. It‘s like comfort food in books. OK, never mind, that just sounds too weird! 🤣🤣🤣

Nessavamusic I love Eve and Roarke! 6y

Nessavamusic Yes @robinb I have read every single one, some more than once! 6y

robinb @Nessavamusic I‘m behind by one or two with this one, I think. I am hoping to collect them on my Kindle to re-read too. I‘ve mostly read them from the library but would love to own them. Do you have any favorite secondary characters? 6y
Nessavamusic @robinb my favorite secondary characters are Mavis, Summerset and Dr. Mira. 😍 6y
ScientistSam 💕 6y
robinb @Nessavamusic That‘s one thing I love about this series are how well-developed the secondary characters are! I can picture them all (even Galahad the cat). It‘s like I‘m watching a movie with every book I read. I ❤️ Summerset and Dr. Mira as well. 6y

This is probably the longest series I have ever continued to read. I just love the characters so much. I have been missing Mavis in the last few books though. We've just gotten small scenes with her. But these characters just seem so real and fleshed out. It's hard to believe there are over 40 books in this series! One thing is that I guessed the person who did it before Eve Dallas... overall, another great story in the In Death series.

robinb I ❤️ this series too....hard to believe it‘s so consistently good....but it is! 😊 6y
tracey38 @robinb yes! But again, Nora Roberts always seems to have good stories, even if I'm not totally into them. But her writing such a long standing series is amazing. 6y
robinb @tracey38 I agree, she is amazing! I have her Year One book to read and am looking forward to seeing how this new series begins. 6y

tracey38 @robinb I read Year One last month and it was good but very different. It wasn't my favorite of hers but I enjoyed it enough to continue the series as it comes out. 6y
robinb @tracey38 I received it as a Christmas gift and had heard that it‘s quite a departure for her. She‘s sooo good, I‘d probably follow her anywhere! 🤣 6y
tracey38 @robinb That's how I feel about her, too! 6y

Mehso-so

I have been a Nora Roberts fan since I was young. Her characters are good and the plot is usually well paced. I feel like some of the most recent In Death books have been very phoned in. I enjoy Lt Dallas but I feel like she has not really grown. Also she either pyschically knows the killer right away or irs someone obvious. Not enough of a mystery or character development in this one

Book 45 in this series and I still love it as much as I did in the beginning. Eve, Roarke and the rest of the crew just make me so happy!

I am not sure why I like this series. It has a thinly veiled futuristic, slightly unrealistic, crime/romance story line. Eve, the main character seems to have an aspect of Asperger‘s syndrome combined with a horrific childhood and a husband who somehow understands all her quirks. The supporting characters also seem to get her. I guess that I must get her on some level also or I would stop listening.

I love this series - the characters and their relationships, the world building, and the writing in general. There are dozens of books in the series, some stronger than others. For me this falls in to the high/middle range. I enjoyed it but because of the nature of the murder case, the fact pace was a bit slow. Robb used the breathing room to give us glimpses into some of the more routine aspects of Dallas‘ life.

Lauren_reading I‘m waiting on a library copy, but I might just buy it 😂 7y

I love this series by J D Robb. This one was not as supenseful, as they usually are. Peabody still did her booty bump, though. A Celebrity Gossip gets killed in front of Eve. So begins the case. Wish it would have been more supenseful.

Just finished devouring this one! A good addition to the series. I felt that the plot was less suspenseful than many of her others, but the humor and banter that we know and love shone, as did the interactions amongst the characters. 😍Roarke.

Jinjer My 90-yo mom saw there's a new one out and had me order it for her. I think it arrives today. I didn't tell her how much a brand new book costs these days. She's just fascinated by how quickly she can get something that she wants thanks to Amazon Prime.😂 7y

#TBRtemptation post 6! Coming in September. I like this cover. This is the 45th(!!!) installment in the In Death series. It has a 4.6 GR rating with over 200 ratings so far. Professional gossip Larinda Mars is killed at the Du Vin club. Turns out she blackmailed some wealthy folks. Now Eve Dallas has a murder to solve with a long list of suspects and secrets she doesn't want to know. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

robinb ❤️ this series and am amazed that at no. 45, they still manage to be fresh and entertaining. 7y

I tagged the book I'm #currentlyreading but I wouldn't want any of this series made into a movie. I usually don't have such clear pics of book characters but I've invested a lot in this series.

EchoLogical I wouldn't want Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Universe to become a movie. I think a TV show would be more fitting. Lol. I had to list something that I wouldn't want adapted at all I'd say Ruby by Cynthia Bond. It was so violent that I couldn't finish it. I can't imagine what a movie would look like. 7y
