5.0 out of 5 stars
A great addition to a remarkable series!, October 28, 2001
Judgment in Death begins when a murder is committed in a high-class strip club. Which Roarke owns. The victim is an off-duty detective who was working part time as a bartender in the club.
Eve is on the case and she isn't becoming popular with her fellow cops during the investigation. The game plan used in the book of finding the killer is unique. There's a really nasty man that you will love to hate.
Eve and Roarke's relationship just keeps you on your toes. Eve is developing as a character with more depth, softness and humor. JD Robb's greatest strength lies in dialogue and character development with each book, you get just the right amount of new insight into Eve, Roarke and the secondary characters. Even with Eve's softening up she still has plenty of attitude and is always ready to kick some butt.
A great read and a terrific addition to this very entertaining series. Start from the beginning if you haven't yet but this book is the best one so far!

ANOTHER WINNER FROM JD ROBB, September 18, 2000
I am constantly amazed at this quality series produced by JD Robb (aka Nora Roberts). The story is unique, witty & hooks you after the 1st page! This series is a shining example of a fantastic and unique story that should never end!!!
This edition of Lt. Eve Dallas does not disappoint the "In Death" fans! In my humble opinion its probably one of the best in the series (the original Naked in Death being the best).
WOW - there is a lot of steamy action between Eve & Roarke (again) but the story has a great plot, in depth characters & great interaction between them.
Eve has to track a killer that ultimately leads her into the seedy underworld. She has a series of murders to solve; corruption and deceit continue to impede her investigation which ultimately touches her life with Roarke. They both have to deal with their past & present. I cannot say more without giving the plot/story line away....
The book is not only suspenseful, but sexy and humorous. I find myself laughing out loud at the antics of Peabody and McNab (again). The best & funniest line is from Dr. Charlotta Mira (about halfway in the book Eve has a "talk" with Dr Mira about Roarke) -- you'll know it when you read it...
I read the book in 2 days! and will re-read it many times more... its definitely another one for my collection.
I just don't think I can hold out another 12 months for the next "In Death" series.

Another great book from robb!, September 12, 2000
This latest installment in the eve dallas series does not disappoint.
Every book in the series has a different style and pace, but are all written with jd robb's masterful hand.
In judgment in death, eve's caseload concentrates on cop-killers. most of the book revolves around the
police force, where eve is the primary in handling the murders.
There is not as much media madness on eve this time, but the pressure is on her to solve the series of murders of cops.
Corruption within the force as well as an enemy of Roarke out for revenge are also central themes.
Roarke's fans will be happy to hear that his role in this book is fair. The style of the book is fluid and contains robb's
wonderful ability and talent to create suspense as well as the understanding of motivating human emotions.
I can't say too much for fear of revealing the plot and ruining your enjoyment of it. Webster appears again, and we see
the usual gang of Feeney, Peabody and McNab.
this book, imho, is a great addition to the already outstanding series. If you are new to the series, it would be ideal to
start at the first book, Naked in death. You won't regret reading this series because Robb writes so finely, with great
character developemnt, consistency, humour and suspense. The plots in each book are creative and not dull at all. The
romance between roarke and dallas is a bonus and is not neglected in judgment in death. Great book! get it!
