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.

Great new mystery to explore

love Eve Dallas the main protagonist. She's a tough and feisty police detective with some great dialogue.

loved it

I loved every moment of it. The narrator brought to life an already incredible story and made it better.

Brilliant as Ussual

Would you consider the audio edition of Naked in Death to be better than the print version?

Yes, I prefer audio to better than print most of the time. These are explicet scenes if you prefer not to hear them outloud.

What did you like best about this story?

Everything. There is not one thing I haven't like about Nora Roberts since I read her first book and feel in love with reading. The future is so much fun in this series. Its a little hookie at first - but some of the gadgets are too cool. As always, the dialouge between characters is what makes the book and the series

Any additional comments?

The best ever! Keep listening...

Awesome, murder, love, and strong woman.

What made the experience of listening to Naked in Death the most enjoyable?

Once you start listening your hooked. Story has everything you want in a suspense novel.

Great Police Procedural & Romance Series Opener

The serial murder of three Licensed Companions leads Eve Dallas down a twisted path to uncover a dark family secret as well as a murder. The weapons of choice are antique and viscous -- guns. While learning more about firearms, Eve encounters multimillionaire Roarke, who is a friend of the first victim's parents. Although Roarke starts on her list of suspects, he ends up shaking her control and changing her life. An excellent police procedural set in the near future wrapped around a captivating romance novel. The series continues to balance police procedural aspects with romance elements to appeal to a wide variety of readers.

Wonderful

This book has addicted me to JD Robb as an author. I have purchased almost everyone of her into series books and have listen to them at least twice if not three times. I love the characters in the way that she expands its role of her characters and she allows us to get to know and love each character and their idiosyncrasies. I only wish she could write and publish faster. I can’t get enough of Eve Dallas and her entourage of friends, family and foes.

Not Bad, Interesting Mix of Genres

Any additional comments?

An interesting mix of light police / crime, scifi and romance. Some of the characters are fun - I especially like Feeney - and the police procedure and laws in the future are interesting. The effect used for the computer voice, which is fairly infrequent, worked well for me.Something that stands out for me throughout the series is that the narrator reads Roarke with a fairly strong Irish accent, even as she repeatedly reads that he has only the faint hint of one. When the story tells us that his accent becomes more pronounced, it stays pretty much the same since it's already pretty pronounced.In my opinion, this is a solid 3 1/2 star audio book. It delivers exactly what is expected, and if you're not looking for depth, this - and some of the sequels - are worth a listen.

Great Performance

I loved the narration and the different voices. I listened to this on long drives and it really made the time fly. I'm excited to get started on the next book.

Great suspenseful

I love the character development and the fact that you don’t figure out who it is until the very end

Well Done

I have read her books and enjoyed them very much. The reader was easy to listen too.
