I know that I previously mentioned this series in prior posts, but I didn’t elaborate on it too much. The In Death series by J.D. Robb (a.k.a. Nora Roberts) is one of a kind. Nora Roberts is known for her romantic novels, with over 100 written. The pseudonym J.D. Robb was adopted because she and her publishers didn’t want readers to know that the author was already so well-known and popular. J.D. is from the first initials of her two sons, and Robb is a shortened version of Roberts.
The In Death series is printed in both paperback and hardback, and the first was released in 1995. Robb continues her romanticism in this series, but with a twist: the setting is 2058, a futuristic world we can only imagine right now, but so much has already started to come true. The main character? Eve Dallas, a New York City Police Department detective with a horrific past. Got your attention yet?
It is not necessary to read these books in order; however it does provide a better reading experience because you can get to know the secondary characters in the order that they were introduced. There will be 30 In Death novels published by March of next year, though other books have been written under the pseudonym of J.D. Robb. Now that it’s been almost 15 years since that first book of the series hit shelves, fans are made aware that it is Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb; many of the more recent books have it written right on the front. I’ve read quite a few in this series, and own quite a few which I need to read. Definitely check them out if you enjoy a good romantic/suspense novel, and even if that’s not your forte, check ’em out anyway. You might just find a new genre that interests you.
