Summer Reading Recommendation: Naked in Death by JD Robb


By the end of this year, JD Robb, one of the New York Times Number-1 Best Selling Authors, will have published over 30 books in the In Death murder-mystery series, which was launched back in 1995.

What many didn't know for several years after the first book released, is that JD Robb was actually a pseudonym (or pen name) for the widely-popular and successful romance novelist, Nora Roberts.

Although these books have been around for nearly 16 years, I just began to read them for the first time this summer. But so far, I must say, I'm highly impressed. Though, how could I not be considering the book was written by Roberts?

Set some 48-odd years in the future (or 2058 to be exact), the In Death series follows Detective Eve Dallas in her quest to solve the most-perplexing murder investigations of the 21st century. As she toes the line between danger and romance, avid readers will certainly enjoy reading about Eve Dallas' big adventures.

In this first book in the series, Naked in Death, Eve works day and night on an unsolved case about the murder of the Governor's granddaughter, and a professional escort to boot.

A fast-paced story that will thrill you with its unexpected romance and surprise you with its majorly-twisted ending, Naked in Death is one book that you'll find hard to put down.
