5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent twist added to Robb's usual pattern, 19 Jan 2005
By Sebastian Fernandez (Tampa, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Witness in Death (Paperback)
This is the tenth book in the series and those who have been following Eve's cases and personal developments are used to Robb's writing style and usual story lines. The basic idea is relatively simple but original nevertheless: a futuristic world, a female cop that is tough as nails and who is married to a slick billionaire, a set of interesting secondary characters, and a collection of steamy scenes. But even if the idea is simple, Robb usually finds a twist here and there to keep the readers hooked and provide them with enough variety to prevent boredom.

I particularly like the case Lieutenant Eve Dallas has to solve in this installment. One night Eve and Roarke are enjoying a night out in one of the billionaire's theatres. The production they are watching is called "Witness for the Prosecution" and includes a murder scene in the last act. The audience is dumbstruck though when the murder actually happens, with Areena Mansfield thrusting a real knife into Richard Draco's chest. Draco was a womanizer and there are plenty of people with a motive for changing the dummy knife for a real one and thus causing the "accident".

The story gets really interesting when we find out that Nadine Furst, Eve's friend and reporter for Channel 75, contacts Eve to tell her about a meeting she had with the victim. She had been Draco's lover years ago and had not heard from him in the last six years, after Draco dumped her and broke her heart. But recently, he called Nadine back and they met for dinner the precise same night in which he was murdered. To make matters worse, a discussion and a fight followed the dinner pleasantries. Therefore, this case hits close to home for Dallas, since her friend is in danger of being accused and Eve was one of the witnesses when the murder took place.

Besides the superior delivery in terms of the way Robb describes the action, the author provides the readers of this series with what I considered the most comprehensive description so far of the physical appearance of Eve and Roarke. This happens right at the beginning of the book, and I am sure that most details were mentioned before but not together as a bundle as we get them here. I also like the way in which the author is using more and more the technique of mixing fragments of what the killer is thinking at different times with the narration of the events that are taking place. In my opinion this provides an added level of interest due to the understanding we get of the killer's psyche.

5.0 out of 5 stars A surprise... but in a nice way!, 8 Nov 2002
By A Customer
I have to admit to being a fan of the "....in death" series, but don't see this as a bias this was definitely one of the best that I have read so far. The setting and plot is quite different to those that have gone before, but that seems to be a characteristic of all the books in this series. The parallels drawn between Eve Dallas's life and that of the murder investigation is cleverly done, and on the whole the book is cleverly crafted. This is a book that could be read on its own... but to be truely appreciated one should read the previous books in the series. Robb adds even more depth to her characters, and the interplay between Eve Dallas and her sexy husband Roarke is a pleasure to be a party to. (Prepare for feelings of envy) The whodunit mystery keeps one guessing until the very end though I did have a nagging suspicion of who the killer was and was proven right at the end.

A truely stellar read.... ENJOY!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read!, 28 Jun 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Witness in Death (Hardcover)
I have read nearly all of the In Death series and Witness in Death is one of the best. Whilst enjoying a performance of "Witness for the Prosecution" Eve Dallas and her husband Roarke become witnesses for the murder of the leading man. It is up to Lieutenant Dallas to discover who is telling the truth and who is putting on a good act. Definitely in the top 3 of this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the funniest Eve Dallas books yet.
This is probably the most humour filled of all the 'IN DEATH' books. It has more funny scenes than many of them, but it is still, at the core, a great murder mystery. Read more
