What our readers think

Readers find this title to be another excellent installment in the series. However, some reviewers were disappointed with the audio format of the book, which was broken up into 30-45 second chapters. They found it distracting and felt that it lacked continuity. Despite this, the story itself is great and worth reading.

    The book is good but the audio formatted like a disc and is broken up into 30-45 seconds so there are 495 chapters. It was very distracting.

    It's another great story. It's just a pity that it was recorded as it was. So many chapters & each one about 30-45 seconds.

    Casandra wants to dominate the world and uses Peabody’s brother to further their goals. Once again Eve and Roarke work to save New York.This is one of the early books of the series a lot of adventure and slick man-toys.

    This abridged version does a terrible job shortening this book. There are abrupt changes within scenes with NO continuity. Even if you’ve read the unabridged version, this version is a poor substitute.

    Erickson has found her voice for these characters (audio book.) Revisiting this series has reminded me why I enjoy it so much.

    Loyalty in Death
    4 Stars

    A routine investigation into the homicide of a businessman is interrupted by a series of bombings that hit close to home when the perpetrator targets Roarke's holdings and sends taunting letters to Eve.

    While the bomb plot is all too realistic in this day and age (perhaps even more so post 9/11), and the case has some incredibly intense moments, the villains are fairly obvious and the outcome predictable. That said, the character development and dialogue make this a series to return to over and over.

    The relationships really stand out in this installment whether it is Peabody and McNab taking an interesting step in their love/hate relationship; Eve realizing that marriage to Roarke will require a change in attitude, or the hints at some intriguing things to come with Eve's mother.

    In sum, a fast-paced and enjoyable read. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.

    A radical group has marked New York City and Eve must find them before they blow up her beloved city.

    4/5
    In 2058 New York City Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas is investigating the murder of tycoon J.C. Branson. He died when his lover, Lisbeth Cooke, used a super powered screwdriver on J.C.'s heart during a jealous rage. Eve thinks there is a lot more to this while Lisbeth calmly explains her reasons, and she is right, but the answer is not what Eve suspects it might be. Eve's attention gets jolted by a series of notes from a group that calls itself Cassandra, after the Greek goddess who foretold the future. Bombings follow each note, with the promise of widespread destruction in the city.

    Loyalty in Death is a first-rate romantic suspense novel, in a series that is very addictive. They are filled with vivid and fully formed characters, a fascinating futuristic setting, and ever-entertaining story lines. I definitely plan to read more.

    I love this series. I loved this book. Eve and Roarke make me melt. I love them. It has been awhile since I have been able to read a book from this series last, and I missed these characters. Reading this book was like sitting down to coffee with old friends. Warm, and comfortable, and fun. I never wanted it to end. Except that I know I can get the next book and start on it.

    One thing I love about these books is that they always so far combine an interesting mystery with the sizzle of Eve and Roarke (and Peabody fawning over Roarke). This book was no exception. But, they aren't cookie cutter, by-the-book, so to speak. They are all different enough to not become routine. I appreciate that, because by this point, it would make me lower my rating probably if they were cookie cutter books.

    I recommend this book highly if you are reading your way through. If you have yet to read this series, I highly recommend starting with book 1.

    Bombings are occurring with a group seemingly with ties to a group from 30 years previously. Eve is contacted by the group and begins to figure out where they will strike. Roarke's properties are chosen. I like how Eve wants to protect Roarke and he is not having any of it. It causes one of their first bad fights. Eve has to be vulnerable and explain what her fears are. She also is reliving her past. I love this series.

    Another great story in the Eve Dallas portfolio. I can't say how happy I got to see some more of McNab and Peabody here. Really, really cute. And I liked - which for me - was a plot twist, with who was the brain in the whole operation. Good to see Roarke not exactly saving Eve, but getting his too.

    I love this series. I've read the book 2x and now I've also listened to the audio. This is the first book where McNab and Peabody get together - I hadn't remembered it had taken so many books actually.Another excellent installment and Ericksen as usual does a sterling job of the narration.

    As usual, J. D. Robb does not fail to deliver. Eve Dallas is receiving letters from an unknown "secret admirer" who taunts and kills without mercy. Each target is larger than the one before.

    An unknown bomber stalking New York City sends Eve Dallas taunting letters promising to wreak mass terror and destruction among the "corrupt masses." And when his work of destruction threatens those she cares for most, Eve fights back to keep him from coming to close to home. It becomes a race against the clock before the city falls.
    Peabody’s brother, Zeke, figures in this. Also Greek mythology—an old group called Apollo has spawned a new group, Cassandra—the prophet to whom Apollo gave the power of prophesy. What is really amazing, to me is that this book, although set in 2059, was published in 1999. The plot has to do with a group that is targeting major landmarks in New York for destruction and the Twin Towers are even mentioned as a possible target. This book came two years before the Twin Towers and other landmarks were actual targets of terrorist attacks. That is just a little spooky!

    I’m pretty sure there’s not a bad book in this series. This one contains a complicated web of crimes that not only brings Eve and Roarke closer together, but Peabody and McNabb, too!
