Kristen's Reviews > Judgment in Death

I'm still completely and unapologetically addicted to the characters in this series - especially Eve and Roarke, but even the supporting characters are so real and relatable they get under my skin.

This time around, Eve's hunting a cop killer. A cop killer who seems to be killing cops who may or may not be on the take. Naturally, cops don't like to be investigated, especially by another cop, so Eve's not too popular - but, being Eve, that makes no difference at all to her doing what she has to do.

But just to add another layer of complication, there's a criminal type somehow mixed up in what's going on, who just happens to be a former associate of Roarke's from before he went on the straight and narrow, and he's crazy as well as dangerous because he wants revenge on Roarke and he has no problem at all using Eve to get that revenge.

Although I enjoy the murder investigations, the irresistible draw of the series for me are the characters. There's a reason why Nora Roberts - writing as J.D. Robb - has published so many books and is consistently on bestseller lists - she writes amazing characters doing interesting things in ways that make you want to be IN the books!

Even the supporting and minor characters in this series are written as fully realized people. You feel like you really know these people, whether you like them or not, so the book feels real, and you can completely dive into and experience the story, which is exactly what a great book SHOULD do for you.

Can't wait to read the next book in this fantastic series!
