“It almost goes without saying that an Eve Dallas mystery will be full of suspense, thrills, great romance and sex, and wonderful character development. While this does not disappoint, I did feel a little less connected in this book than I have in previous installments. I wanted a little more background revelation for Rourke and Eve, and those have been dished out in little tantalizing pieces every other book or so. In this volume a priest is poisoned in front of his congregation when he drinks the sacramental wine during the mass, and the investigation reveals that he is not a priest after all. His past is a very tangled web that Dallas struggles to unravel, and then an evangelist is killed in the same manner. The convolutions in the story were a little difficult to follow at times, but she manages a very satisfying wrap-up in the end. I must admit that though I enjoyed this as I always do a Dallas mystery, I was more excited to read the excerpt for the next book in the series, where Morris's girlfriend is the victim, and I am eagerly awaiting the next paperback release.”

Yes | No“the "In Death" series by JD Robb, about Lieutenant Eve Dallas of the New York Police Department. Set in the future, so things are a lot different. She's a kickass cop that always has some plot twist crime to solve. She has the love of gorgeous rich Irishman named Roarke, that she doesn't believe she deserves.
If you like murder mysteries, you might enjoy this series. I've read almost all of them, I think I'm missing like 7 books still. At times the books have descriptive crime scenes and sexual scenes.
What's interesting too is that this is written by romance author, Nora Roberts, under a pen name, and completely the opposite from the harlequin romance genre. ”
