![Naked in Death [In Death, Book 1] - Picture 1 of 1](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/IbQAAOSwn91f~cZy/s-l500.jpg)
This book is the first story in a mystery-romance series. The author, "J.D. Robb," is a pen-name for the author "Nora Roberts." The series' lead character, "Lieutenant Eve Dallas," is a Homicide detective. The series is set in a slightly futuristic (50 years) NYC. This book introduces the reader to some of the characters who are central to all the other stories. You do not have to read this story first to enjoy the others; I didn't. But it is fun to get the background of the female and male protagonists. The author writes a tightly-plotted mystery, with exciting action sequences interwoven with sexually-charged, yet highly romantic scenes. All of the stories in this series are extremely well-written, and are multi-layered. Descriptions of characters, locales, internal workings of different organizations (particularly the NYC police), etc., are all detailed and finely crafted enough to maintain the reader's interest. A character's psyche and motivations may be explored and delineated in several sequential books, but each book is so excellently written that it can stand alone! In summary, an excellent author, an enjoyable read, and a great mystery series!Read full review
this is the first in death series book. A great book and a good start to the collection. The story is set in New York City in 2058. People travel off earth, prostituion is legal, your cars drives it self, also have auto chefs in youre house car and office. Lt. Eve Dallas is a strong independent homicide detective. In this book she finds her main suspect a billionaire name Roarke. He is an irish man who is charming, rich, and good looking. Eve has now found her match. Roarke didn't have the ideal childhood either and they make the most wonderful couple. Eve Dallas is assigned to a high profile murder investigation that encompases politics, prostitution, and blackmail--engrossing right from the beginning. The chemistry between Dallas and Roarke-- one of the suspects--is aparent from their first meeting. More importantly, the mystery is well constructed and left nothing up in the air. Youll have to buy the book to find out the rest!!!!!Read full review

I bought this book because it is the first in this murder mystery series and my local library has lost all copies. This will be the 3rd time I've read all the books in the series, if I continue. It's a police procedural, a futuristic view of life, a love story and much more. I enjoyed every one of the books in the ... In Death series and expect them to not disappoint on re-reading. The characters are well drawn, their relationships believable and I find I invest in their success. What more do you want from a book? However you must be willing to read realistic descriptions of adult sexual activity to completely feel comfortable with this series. After all, JD Robb is Nora Roberts and romance is what she loves to write. I'm more a murder mystery fan, not a romance novel reader, but I'll make an exception gladly for this series about Roarke and Dallas, Lieutenant, Eve. They rock!Read full review
Naked in Death is the first of a most amazing series of novels. The futuristic book introduces murder Detective Eve Dallas of the NYSPD and Roarke, a billionaire con-man gone straight, beginning with a murder investigation, and leading into one of the most compelling and lasting love stories ever written. As soon as I finish one, I am looking for the next. So many wonderful characters are brought into the series, and you come to know them as they tiptoe through the dangers they face to find justice for the dead. I highly recommend Naked in Death and each of the next 50+ books by J. D. Robb
