New York to Dallas by JD Robb

 

As you all know, I love the "In Death" series by J.D. Robb.  I was so excited when I was at Costco about a week ago and saw this book there.  I bought it and instantly read it.

This book brings Eve back to Dallas, where her life began.  She is hunting down a killer who she imprisoned as a rookie, that now wants to get revenge on her.

It was really fun to travel to Dallas with Eve and watch her interact with a whole new team.  I feel like I know her so well at this point, I always love seeing what she will do next.  Her next book is called "Celebrity in Death" I believe...and you can bet I will be buying it as soon as I see it in paperback!

Treachery in Death by JD Robb

J.D. Robb / Nora Roberts is one of about five of my all-time favorite authors!  I love the books she writes under both names - they couldn't be more different!  Robb's "In Death" series revolve around Lieutenant Eve Dallas and take place around the year 2060.  I love reading about Dallas and her futuristic world.

Treachery in Death is all about a dirty cop....ooooh!  Dallas' partner, Detective Delia Peabody is taking a shower after a workout when she hears two cops start arguing about someone being murdered.  She brings everything she learns to Dallas and they go from there.  This book totally had my interest from the very beginning through the last page.

Whether or not you have ever read one of the "In Death" books, you should check this one out.  It's easy to pick up these books from any point in the series and quickly figure out who everyone is.  This book is different because you know who the bad cop is - you aren't spending the whole book wondering who did it.  This time you are wondering...how will they prove it?

30 Days About Me - Day 4 - Favorite Book

Toni at A Daily Dose of Toni is graciously hosting a 30-day meme to help us all get to know each other better.  She has a theme for each day so that we can post something about ourselves.  There are a good number of us participating so far.  I'm excited to get to know more about my fellow bloggers and also to let others know more about me.

Day 4 - Favorite Book

I'm glad this is not school and I am not being graded, because I am not being able to follow the rules very well.  I picked multiple songs and multiple movies.  I followed the rules for one day with a favorite tv show, but now I am about to break them again because....I don't have a favorite book.  There are too many books out there for me to read the same one twice.  So while I have a few favorite authors, I don't have one favorite book.  Below are a few of my favorite authors, and some of my favorite books by those authors.

1. Danielle Steel - I always love her books.  They are so well written and the stories always instantly draw me in.  One of my favorites by her is Bungalow 2.  The book is about Tanya Harris - a woman who goes from being a suburban mom to being a screenwriter in Hollywood.  A fantastic story about the choices moms have to make!

2. James Patterson - I love how quickly I can read his book.  The 2-4 page chapters are about all I can take since the chapters are so intense.  Cross Country is an awesome book in the Alex Cross series.  It takes Alex all the way to Africa.  This book was one of his most graphic that I have ever read...so it is not for the faint at heart.

3. J.D. Robb (Yes I know this is Nora Roberts) - I love the "In Death" series that Nora Roberts writes as J.D. Robb.  At this point, I almost feel like I know the main character - Lieutenant Eve Dallas.  One of my most recent favorites by her was Fantasy in Death.  I think I love it so much because it is about a virtual reality video game gone wrong...and I love video games!
