Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

In the second of this futuristic mystery series, protagonist New York police Lieutenant Eve Dallas looks for a serial killer of prominent career women. Eve tenaciously follows the clues whether they imperil her romantic relationship with a millionaire or her beloved job. Truth and justice are the goals she works resolutely toward and that lead her finally to solve the case, save the life of a friend, and command the respect of her tall, dark, handsome lover. If the supporting characters are somewhat stereotypical and the ending easy to predict, the humor and imaginative slice of mid-21st-century life provide scope for the reader's talents. Cristine McMurdo-Wallis gives an enjoyable performance as she adeptly portrays the energetic, idealistic, and dogged detective. She impersonates the characters with confidence and style, whether it is the crusty commander, the shattered daughter of one of the victims, the ambitious, uninhibited journalist, or Eve's cagey Irish lover.

From AudioFile

Writing under the name J.D. Robb, bestselling author Nora Roberts uses a futuristic setting to unfold a story that mixes touches of romance with darkness and violence. When Prosecuting Attorney Cecily Towers is found dead on a rainy night in New York City, Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas first follows a trail to her own lover, then finds herself in pursuit of a serial killer. As the death toll mounts, she sets herself up as bait to snare the culprit. Susan Ericksen narrates the novel with a suitably matter-of-fact tone, while giving voice to colorful characters both human and robotic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Business: murder..., Jan 9 2007

(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Glory In Death (Mass Market Paperback)
"Glory in death" is the second book in J. D. Robb's futuristic "In death series". Truth to be told, this book fulfils the promise I found in "Naked in death", and continues to engage me, and quite certainly many more readers. J.D. Robb is the name Nora Roberts uses for the "In death" series, a strange but effective blend of whodunnit, romance and action, set in the year 2058, in New York City.

The main character is a member of the NYPSD, Lieutenant Eve Dallas. "A decade as a cop had toughened her, given her a cold, and often cynical eye toward death and its many causes. It made scenes such as the one she viewed now, on a rainy night on a dark street nasty with litter, almost too usual. But still, she felt". Eve's business is murder, but she cannot help identifying with the victims of a new lunatic loose in her city, someone who preys on successful women.

Eve is also a person with a troubled past, who overcame extremely difficult circumstances and became an excellent good cop. She is also someone beginning a relationship with the most unlikely person for her: Roarke, a handsome billionaire with a shady past. In "Naked in death" we saw the beginnings of their relationship, and in "Glory in death" we are allowed to see its development. Of course, that happens amid of murder... Unfortunately for both Eve and Roarke, the victims are once again persons that Roarke knew, and that strains their relationship to the point that ending it will become a very real possibility.

On the whole, I highly recommend "Glory in death" as a worthy addition to the "In death" series. Enjoy it!!.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it in 1 day!, May 12 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Glory in Death (Audio Cassette)
After Naked in Death, I had to run out and buy this one to see where the romance of Eve and Roarke lands. I'm baffled that Robb manages to keep the romance interesting through 2 novels, as I expect she will through the rest of the series (we'll see).

Definately a good read! Love the mix of mystery and romance as I tend to get bored with romance novels alone. I highly recommend, but start it on a day when you can sleep in the next morning, as I found myself up late unable to put it down!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Eve & Roarke's best scenes inside!, May 4 2004
By Shamim Adam (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Glory In Death (Mass Market Paperback)
As far as mysteries go, the killer in this book can be easily figured out so there's not much suspense there. But for those in love with Eve and Roarke, this is an important part of their relationship.
This book contains my favourite scene in the whole series when Eve finally admits with great reluctance that she loves Roarke. That section is beautifully written, and J.D. Robb does not compromise their strong willed characters when she writes that part.
It's much easier to write how protaganists fall in each other's arms and let down all barriers to declare their love. What is more difficult is when they admit their love and their characterizations remain true even when they are in the most vulnerable of circumstances. So make sure you read Glory in Love, don't give it a miss just because the suspense element is not there.
