Writing as J.D. Robb, Nora Roberts has a found a rare combination in her "Death" series; a consistently entertaining group of recurring characters AND, consistently entertaining and twisting plot lines. Oh, maybe there are a few too many serial killers and a rather large number of conspiracies but, hey! Let's see you come up with 20 or 30 ways to (almost) get away with murder. Lt. Eve Dallas is a homicide cop in 2058. She comes from dirt poor but marries super rich. Between her and her more-than-slightly dangerous hubby, Roarke, she takes on the top murders in a slightly futuristic NYC. Starting with "Origins in Death" and continuing through her latest effort, "Born in Death", Dallas tries to juggle blood stains and cocktail parties, all while training the erstwhile Peabody and staying one step ahead various killers. Some of the plot lines are strained, but not to the breaking point. Dallas is constantly trying to come to grips with her sudden wealth and the fact that much of it was accumulated illegally. Her husband, now a legitimate businessman, conveniently handles all the hi-tech stuff Dallas abhors but they still make a believable and likable pair. Each story seems to add a new character or two but the cast doesn't seem crowded, even after 20 some-odd episodes. The violence is graphic; the sex, though hot and heavy, is muted. The dialogue is crisp and rings true. J.D. Robb writes male dialogue better than any other female writer today. I recommend this series to anyone who likes a good yarn, fast paced action, and colorful characters with more than just a bit of spice thrown in. Get the whole series. Start with book one and just enjoy the ride. | |
