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.

I definitely want More!

This book was definitely more than I expected. These books have been on my to read list for a long time. The only reason I didn't is because I like to start what I finish. And there are over 50 books in the series and that is quite a big undertaking. But I'm happy that I started this. k takes place in 2058. So, it was written in somewhat close future, and now we are almost 30 years closer to that date. And I noticed that Nora/ J.R. is close to on track on where we are heading technology wise. (I guess it all depends on how these idiots who hold office now leave us when Joes 3 more years are over, we very well may go backwards-#Lets go Brandon) lol. I digress, this book was pretty great. From what I've read in the other reviews, a lot of people say it keeps getting better. I can't wait to keep going. I liked Eve; she was strong. I didn't think it was going to go so easy with her and Roarke. And Roake, I thought I'd hate him. I was wrong. I loved them both and really hope they are both around for all 50 something books! But if your sensitive to trauma/rape especially with kids maybe avoid this one. But I am a fan and I plan on reading every one of these books even if it takes me forever! I don't know where she found the time to write all these books, especially with all her other books. INSANE!

Easy to listen, good story good end.

I nearly steered away from this book due to the reviews, I am glad I didn’t, I loved it even tho I am a republican and there is some gun control and liberal ideals into this futuristic yet easy to imagine world. I can set aside my way of thinking about guns from a a fictional book, if you can’t, then this book isn’t for you. I was more pissed about the fact that they drunk simulation coffee to be honest 😂 (coming from my deep Colombian roots)

Fantastic

What could be better than a mystery with intrique and suspense. Eve is a detective that feels the hurt that is caused by the killer to the victim and their families. Roarke is a multi-millionaire and he is in love with Eve. He get frustrated with her but something pulls at his heart for her. Killers are what Eve hunts and justice is what she seeks. The book leaves you wanting to read the next one.

Murder & Romance

Nice ratio of murder mystery and romance. A must for women who like romance novels, but also like murder mysteries. Even without the romance, the murder plot held your interest. Will search for other books by this author. I think the narrator did a great job also.

Surprisingly good!

The "in Death"/NYPD Lieutenant Eve Dallas series is written Nora Roberts using the pen name J. D. Robb. Naked in Death is an excellent police procedural/suspense thriller. This is a thriller rather than a romance novel. The narration of Susan Ericksen is also excellent.

Naked in Death

This is the second of J.D. Robb's books I've read. This was the best one. In fact, I'm listening to it the second time. I'm hooked.
