#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Book 17.5 Ch.1-8: we‘re back in 2059 with Eve, Roarke, and Eve‘s new partner Peabody. It is interesting seeing the changing dynamic between the two. It‘s interesting seeing Peabody without her uniform! I think she‘s fitting into her new role well and it‘s great to see. It‘s cool how this book aligns with the previous story, and how some diamonds were never recovered. Are we thinking the killer is Crew‘s grandson? ⬇️

StayCurious I think that‘s what was alluded to. I guess crazy can sometimes run in the family. This guy‘s vicious and needs to be stopped. (edited) 3d
LiseWorks I love the banter with Eve and Peabody. She is not a scared police officer. She is a detective. 3d
TheAromaofBooks Peabody has been my favorite part of this book. I love that she is trying to find her “look“ 😂 I'm so curious as to who the villain is - he has to be related to Crewe, right? Maybe a grandson? 2d
Ddzmini I really enjoy how much you learn about investigative work and how all the characters are committed to finding the clues to what occurred in the crimes committed. Also love how Eve‘s continued relationships are developing and yes Peabody‘ s changing looks are great 😊 📖 2d

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Hot Rocks Ch.9-end: Ok, Max definitely grew on me. Although they had a whirlwind romance it felt real the more they went through together and hit me in the feels. @LiseWorks made a good point last week: Laine and Max are like Eve and Roarke - one used to be a con, a grifter and has a past and one works for the other side of the law. How interesting to have it gender swapped in Laine and Max‘s case. ⬇️

StayCurious I‘m so curious to see how the story will continue in the In Death universe. Will it be about Crew‘s son? Does he have the diamonds? Is he like his father? We‘ll read the first half of Big Jack this upcoming week and find out more. (edited) 1w
ShananigansReads I was highly suspicious of Max but in the end he and Laine did seem to be a great couple. I'm glad it all worked out for them. 1w

TheAromaofBooks I really enjoyed this one. Even though the romance was super fast, it still somehow felt believable and like Laine and Max were a good match. I'm super curious to see how it ties into Eve in the future!! 1w
LiseWorks Yes, I loved this one, fast pace with a few surprises along the way 1w
Ddzmini I have to agree with the above post as it seems fast … but this was written when romance was made to move fast and it is a shorter book so I can understand the need to speed up the romance 1w

#InDeathlongReadalong #IDLR Hot Rocks Ch.1-8: in this first book by Roberts, we dive into a world of cons and ex cons and families and hidden secrets and identities and love and shame. It‘s complicated. Laine Tavish and Max Gannon‘s lives are complicated. Laine is hiding from her past in small town USA and it comes to the forefront when she witnesses her father - criminal Big Jack O‘Hara‘s partner die in front of her antiques store. ⬇️

StayCurious Then her house is ransacked. Who did it and what were they looking for? Both Laine and Max want to know. And she develops feelings for Max, who is pretending to be in Insurance but who is really a PI looking into her dad. Like I said it‘s complicated. I‘m not sure I like Max for sleeping with Laine without being honest with her. But she kept things from him as well so…yeah, on the fence about these two as a couple. Thoughts? 2w
LiseWorks I find it interesting that Max here used to he a cop, while Laine used to be a pick pocket. It kind of correlates with Eve and Roark. Eve the cop and Roarke the pick pocket. 2w

Ddzmini I haven‘t read this since it came out and forgot how good it was so I‘m really looking forward to seeing what happens next 2w
TheAromaofBooks I think I would have more reservations if Max had been the one to seduce Laine, but he was actually ready to get out of town because he didn't feel comfortable continuing his relationship with her under the circumstances, so I feel like I can give him a little more leeway when she showed up at his door and was pretty clear about what she was hoping would happen 😂 I'm enjoying this one - pacy and engaging. And I love Laine's best friend, too! 2w
ShananigansReads @LiseWorks I didn‘t even think of that. I‘m just concerned how their relationship is going to go when it comes to her dad. Also, when is this set? It seems contemporary but in Death is set in the future. Guess I just need to hold my horses and see how it relates. (edited) 2w
StayCurious @ShananigansReads I‘m pretty sure it‘s set in 2003 when it came out but I may be wrong 2w
StayCurious @TheAromaofBooks you‘re absolutely right 2w
StayCurious @LiseWorks that‘s a great link 2w
Read4life @ShananigansReads It‘s set in 2003. The second part/story continues the story and takes place in the In Death time. 2w

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Book 17 Ch.16-23/Review. The final chapters, as Eve was closing in, kept me on the edge of my seat. I wanted it to be Renquist - if only because I disliked how pompous and snooty he and his wife were. Characters like that bug me. And what he was doing to his poor nanny was despicable. I liked how Peabody kept pace with Eve and spoke her mind about the case. She‘s gained confidence and it makes me so proud 🥹.⬇️

StayCurious Now things will change between the two of them as Peabody becomes Eve‘s partner. Big things are on the horizon for our girl. Looking forward to the next book. 3w
ShananigansReads I was so happy when Mrs Renquist got all her attitude thrown right in her face. I‘m so happy for Peabody. I can‘t wait to see how this new partnership evolves. 3w
Ddzmini Loved the ending of this it really was an interesting read and the progress that Peabody has made is great 3w
TheAromaofBooks I got way too emotional with the scene between Dallas and Peabody at the end 😂This one was pretty satisfying overall - I loved the way everything came together. 3w

Remember When | Nora Roberts, J D Robb

#InDeathLongReadalong Hey #IDLR friends, I know we still have a week with Imitation in Death (I still have no clue as to who the killer is) - but I wanted to post our next read now so we can find the book. It‘s different this time around because there is a Roberts book that ties in with the next In Death book so we‘ll read it first. You can find Hot Rocks by Roberts in the anthology Remember When or on its own. ⬇️

StayCurious The In death story is Big Jack, in Remember When or on its own. We will read these both in December spending 2 weeks on each. This time we‘ll do 8 chapters a week which should allow us to finish before the NY. First check in will be Dec 7. Let me know if I‘ve confused you! 1mo
Librarybelle Makes sense! 1mo
Ddzmini I just bought that book so happy to have it for our read next 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Perfect!! Thank you for letting us know, I was wondering the other day if we were going to include Hot Rocks or not. 1mo
