I bought this as I have a number of her "...In Death" series and I love the fusion of detective story and (gentle) science fiction. I love the character development in each book and, also, through the series. The main character, Lt. Eve Dallas, is a strong, intelligent woman, who will never stop when "on a case"; she will appeal equally, if differently, to men and women. The science fiction elements are slight developments of current technology, added to help the plot flow and scarcely noticeable after a chapter or so. The power is in the extremely skilful writing.
Nothing that Nora Roberts has written is bad. I had read every other fiction book she has written - but I was avoiding her 'In Death' series because I don't like crime stories. However - with no books of hers left to read, I decided to bite the bullet and try one of her 'In Death' books. Wow - is all I can say! The whole series of these books, are set 50 years in the future making them fascinating to read yet also very plausible. Throughout them all, the relationship between the two main characters - Eve Dallas an NPYD Homicide Lieutenant and her Irish billionaire husband (with a shady past) known simply as 'Roarke,' will grip you from the first chapter - as will the stories surrounding the fascinating homicides she investigates.
