5.0 out of 5 stars
Another winner by Nora., 2 Nov 2003
By A Customer
I read Remember When with some trepidation, after all its a big "ask" to seemlessly blend the two styles and established characters from both sides of Nora's writing career. Also, like the other reviewer Mel, I had never read J. D. Robb and had no interest in doing so. How wrong I was.The first part of the book is set in present day and written by Ms.Roberts. We have a pretty conventional story between the two leads, Laine and Max, and a nice assortment of background characters including Laine's Father, a con man, thief and lovable rogue.And they are all hunting diamonds. In approx 250 pages we have a great romance, a grand adventure and recovery of part of the haul. So, part two deals with the unsolved mystery of the rest of the diamonds and a view into the world of J.D.Robb's Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her gorgeous husband Roarke. This is the world of the "In Death" series and it does'nt matter if you have'nt read a word of them before - the dialogue and storyline flows.Here it is Laine and Max's granddaughter who becomes involved, when her housesitter is murdered and the old case comes back to haunt them. The whole book was expertly plotted and written - although I guessed the culprit way before the end it did'nt spoil my enjoyment one whit. I would highly recommend it - this one had something special about it , and yes, I'm off to get the back copies of the "In Death" series! Funny. Moving. Different. Highly recommend.
