5.0 out of 5 stars Fifth book in this exciting series!, June 11, 2001

By	"intentaccess" (Boca Raton, Florida USA) - See all my reviews

The exciting in Death" series, continues with Ceremony in Death. Eve Dallas is investigating the death of a fellow officer to determine whether he was corrupt or whether he was murdered. The investigation involves a Satanist group and a group called the Wiccan. Roarke shows his Celtic / Irish roots more clearly as both he and Peabody know more about the Wiccan’s then eve. Peabody is really coming to be a real asset to Eve and a very interesting character in this series. Roarke gets involved in the investigation against Eve’s wish of course! This is really an excellent series. If you are a new reader start with Naked in Death at the beginning of the series you will be delighted! I recommend this book and the entire series!!

5.0 out of 5 stars ...in Death series continues with Ceremony, October 14, 2000

By	Marcia L. Hopkins (Orlando, FL United States) - See all my reviews

The incredible "...in Death" series written by Nora Roberts, under the name J.D. Robb, continues with Ceremony in Death. Eve Dallas is investigating the death of a fellow officer to determine whether he was corrupt and whether he was murdered.

The investigation gets Eve involved with a satanic cult and a wiccan group. The wiccan element brings more development to Peabody's character and makes Peabody more than just a trainee in this story since Peabody knows a bit about the wiccan practices.

As always, Roarke gets involved in the investigation even when Eve doesn't want him to of course. This book is as good as the other's in this series and they're all great. If you haven't read the series start with the first book, Naked in Death.

Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great read!, January 9, 2002

By	Sophie Williams (Canada) - See all my reviews

J.D. Robb continues to impress me with her "In Death" series. "Ceremony in Death" continues the tradition of excellence, providing an exciting, unsettling, and entertaining read.
We receive new insight into the main characters, Lieutenant Eve Dallas of the NYPSD and her charming billionaire husband Roarke, with each book in the series. These two are a wonderful couple, and their dynamics become more complex and fascinating in this novel. When Eve and Roarke are together the sparks fly, and they have some highly erotic, yet never distasteful scenes.
In this instalment of the series, Eve is investigating a case that involves satanic cults and lots of deep, dark secrets. The sinister atmosphere of this novel is expertly woven, causing Eve's encounters with evil to send chills up the reader's spine.
Although we know who the bad guys are pretty much from the beginning. We do not have the mystery properly solved until the very end, and there are many thrilling and suspenseful scenes to keep the reader turning pages. I truly enjoyed this book, and with its romance and suspense, its intrigue and futuristic police procedure, there is something in it for everyone!
I am in awe of J.D. Robb's incredible skill at writing continually superior books and I will continue to buy and recommend them as long as she keeps writing them!
