- Alicia M.Fantastic series! Still keeps the reader glued to their seats!Another wonderful story following Eve, Roarke, and the rest of the gang. It starts out with Eve and Roarke attending a charity event and Eve complaining silently to herself about being all dressed up. They actually got through the entire event until Eve's communicator goes off and she is sent to the scene of a possible homicide. It appears that Nathan Barrister, current head of Zip founded by his father Henry, interrupted a burglary and was killed so the thief could get away. However the items stolen were from a vault filled with stolen artifacts for the past 4 decades from museums, private collections, etc. After interviewing the wife and sister of the victim, Eve and Roarke go home to change out of the charity event fancy clothes. Roarke mentions to Eve that in his previous life as a thief, he stole a statue that was still in the vault as well as the Royal Suite, the emeralds that were stolen from the vault. Roarke assures Eve that nothing can be traced back to him but Eve also has to now be on the look out to make sure that Roarke is protected at all costs. Eve and her partner Peabody look at the life of everyone in the house, Nathan and his wife, including the 3 live in help and their 2 daughters. They also look into who could have told about the vault and it's contents, and look into the life of Nathan's father Henry. Things start to come together but surprises keep popping up all over the place. Who killed Nathan? Did this same person steal the Royal Suite? Is Roarke protected as much as he thinks? An absolute fantastic story, just like all the others in the series. Loved it!
I did receive an ARC from NetGalley but this is my voluntary review. - Deborah M AlmadaA serious winner in this long running series!For long-time readers of the In Death series, this one is going to check off a lot of boxes! We start off with Eve at her most uncomfortable, dressed as Roarke's partner at one of those charity events, straight to a break-in and murder that has some really wild extenuating circumstances. Was our victim murdered because he was in possession of a vault full of stolen art and jewelry, or was he just in the wrong place at the wrong time! So much and so many people are involved in getting answers here. One benefit of a long-running series is that folks that have shown up in the past can make appearances in the present. Eve calls in a lot of people she has worked with in the past, nationally and internationally, to get answers. It is always fun to revisit with characters from the past. As well as past professionals, we see a of Eve's own unit and also have visits with just about everyone important in her personal life. All of this just adds to an interesting mystery with lots of interesting parts. This series is as strong as ever! Thanks to #Netgally, #StMartinsPress, and the author for an opportunity to catch up with some of my favorite characters! #StolenInDeath #InDeathseries #JDRobb #bookreview #bookideas #retiredreader
- Kim DelfingGreat Eve and Roarke teamwork in this oneOnce again Eve Dallas and her team are out to solve a murder. This time multibillionaire Nathan Barrister is killed while laying near an open vault, full of open treasures, all of which have been stolen over the past 20 years. It seems, of course, that Eves husband Roarke may have more than a passing knowledge of some of these thefts when they were originally occurred, so he is more involved in this investigation than in some of the other books of the series.
I have read all 62 of these books and have l enjoyed them all, and I definitely think you need to read at least the first handful of them before you dive in to the newer ones, which you could then read out of order if you wish. This one, for instance, does refer to a character that was involved in a previous book quite a while ago, but you didn't really have to have read that one to enjoy the story. There is great Eve/Roarke teamwork in this book, but we don't get to see as much of the other team members this time around. They are definitely there, but more as side players this time and I realized I really miss them when at least one or two of our quirky beloved characters are not also front and center. For me its still a solid, enjoyable In Death book, just not my favorite. - A.J.An exceptional addition to this long-running seriesStolen in Death may be the book fans of Roarke have always been waiting for. We adore this reformed thief with the incredibly talented fingers, Irish accent and sexy ways, so getting a peek at some of the jewels he stole once upon a time and the reactions and assumptions made by various law enforcement types about the theft was a true delight.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about Stolen in Death is that there are still things to learn about the characters and the lives they've led and that this series at book 62, still has stories to tell and mysteries to unfold in unique and varied ways. Nora Roberts, writing as J.D. Robb, is a powerhouse of stories, never seeming to lose steam, as she always finds new ways to make us fall in love with Eve Dallas, Roarke, and all the men and woman of the NYPSD all over again.
Highly recommended, and if, by chance, you've never picked up an In Death story, you can really start at any point along the way, as each book is its own stand-alone mystery. However, as a true fan, I highly recommend starting at the beginning with Naked In Death. 60+ exceptional novels later, this series is still going strong. - Laura StephensonAn excellent installment into this futuristic cop seriesEve Dallas catches the case of stolen artwork and a murder. They're really enjoyed this installment because the mysteries unfolded with no idea as to who did what until nearly the end. I like retaining the mystery. If you haven't read this series, I suggest starting at the very beginning and reading your way all the way through. I've grown to care very strongly about the characters in this book and there lives. I absolutely love the author and I will definitely read the next book in the series when it comes out.
