I've been buying these Robb "In Death" crime collections on audio for my nighttime "story time" for quite a while now. Nora Roberts writes a good, solid, dependable crime tale each time. I'm not sure of why she's chosen to place the time line in "the future" - it is not apropos to the story - but then it doesn't detract from it either.The heroine's rich sexy Irish husband seems to find his way into most of the tales either as a suspect or a surreptitious helper but I accepted his addition due to the added juicy sex scenes...sigh....The narrator is top rate. Being an aficionado of books on tape I can attest to the fact that Susan Ericksen is the best. She's actually the one who moves these books from ordinary to exceptional and brings them to life.These 3 book collections are a thrifty way of purchasing Robb's set. I'm giving the same review to all of these audio collections as they are quite equal. Well worth your time and money....bg
I love the Death series and I love Nora Roberts/JD Robb books. I started with Book 1 and I'm now on Book 19. Fortunately, there are many more to go. These are homicide detective stories so there is definitely violence - although I've never been grossed out by the way she describes the murders.
Not usually a fan of audiobooks, I have to say that these audiobooks are excellent - after listening to just one or two, I can identify each of the characters just by the nuances in the narrator's voice. J.D. Robb does an excellent job of writing a book that is clear and exciting. The audiobook captures this perfectly. The price for the collection was also very affordable and a much better deal than purchasing individually.
All of the J D Robb In Death series are narrated by Susan Ericksen, a marvelous voice actress who does the main character voices so that there is never a doubt who is speaking, and enough variety in miscellaneous characters so that you're never bored. And, of course, the series writing is beyond compare.
My daughter and I bought these to listen on our road trip. The narrator is excellent! She doesn't just read the stories, she acts then out. Every voice is different; each has a different accent according to the different character's background. Even the ones that are coming over a radio, or are robotic, sound as if they really are - thoroughly enjoyed! Only wished they weren't abridged. :-)
I love Nora Roberts series.All of them.Especially when she writes as J.D.Robb.They take place in the future and Eve and Roarke are so believeable you would swear they really exist.What a great cast she has,you become so interested in their lives you can not wait for the next book.Eve is fearless and Roarke is a man consumed by his love for his wife and supports " his cop" completely.You are assured a great read every time.Once I pick up a book or listen to an audio I can not stop until it is finished.I never give them away and listen to them again down the line a bit.I just wish I had the book where they get married.Keep them coming Ms.Roberts.
I just discovered J.D. Robb 3-4 months ago by Nora Roberts. I am a huge Nora Roberts fan, but he characters (Eve Dallas and Roarke) have just captured me. So I am on a quest to read or listen to everything I can get my hands on about them.I totally enjoyed J.D. Robb's collection #2. I am going to purchase collection #1 so I have the beginning where Eve met Roarke. Nora Roberts is such a gifted writer and I look forward to the new adventures of Eve and Roarke.I have probably almost read or listened to almost all of the Death series.But I give this a 5 star rating. Totally enjoyable.Fran Brown
This is a series that I NEVER get tired of reading...over...and over again. There is nothing like a full novel written by Nora Roberts to make for an entertainingly scrumptious story that pulls you in and makes you feel homesick in between installments. And, when that installment comes out and you finally have a chance to read it, your back at home with life, death, intrigue and love.You gotta love Roberts. She makes the best characters and stories.Also, let me say that Susan Erickson's right on, talented and engrossing professional narration of Roberts' books is like icing on the cake. If you love the book, try it again with the audio enhancements...truly entertaining!
