Publisher's summary

THE FIRST NOVEL IN THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING IN DEATH SERIES

It is 2058, New York City. Technology now completely rules the world, but for New York Detective Eve Dallas, one irresistible impulse still rules the heart: passion...

Eve Dallas is a New York police lieutenant hunting for a ruthless killer. In over ten years on the force, she’s seen it all - and knows her survival depends on her instincts. And she’s going against every warning telling her not to get involved with Roarke, an Irish billionaire - and a suspect in Eve’s murder investigation. But passion and seduction have rules of their own, and it’s up to Eve to take a chance in the arms of a man she knows nothing about - except the addictive hunger of needing his touch.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

Meh

The story was good. A bit heavy on the gratuitous sex. Then again, I should have realized who that author is.

Good mystery

I quit reading Robb's books years ago because they seemed more like "how to pleasure a woman" books, that I wished my husband would read. Gave up on the husband, this book seemed tame. It was a good book that gave an interesting view of the current political climate, and the questions we face today, from a "what if" future.

Nth reread

I was getting tired of reading beta heroes and insipid heroines, so I opened Naked In Death. Sigh. Sooooo good. I’ve been reading this series since 1995 and it has held up time and time again. I love Roarke and Eve. My most favorite couple and series ever.

Worth Reading Again

I am re-reading this series for the 3rd time and enjoying it every bit as much as the first time. I wait impatiently for every new book in the series.

Great story

This is the first book of the In Death series. These are books I preorder and read as soon as they're available. Even though I've read this book more than once I bought it to listen to on a long trip. It was totally worth it! The narrator did a good job with the story. Eve Dallas is a murder cop in New York circa 2051. She investigates homicides. In this story a high class licensed companion is brutally murdered. The victim was also the granddaughter of a powerful senator making this a highly sensitive case. Roarke, a self made businessman with more money than God, is a suspect. He and Eve share an attraction which adds to the already complicated case.

Addiction started

I guess that when a writer is really good, it can span across genres. So Nora Roberts, a.k.a. J. D. Robb, I have listened to my first book written by you, and not my last. The character development in Naked in Death was wonderful. I am looking forward to my next encounter with Lt. Eve Dallas -- flaws and all.
