If you had told me 25 years/50 books ago that I would be loving book 51 in a series as much as I loved book 1, I would have laughed at you.

So many series I have read have fallen away as the number of books in the series has risen, however to me that is definitely not the case with the In Death series.

I am as eager for book 51 as I was picking up book 1.

JD Robb/Nora Roberts had me at the first "Darling Eve". Sigh... oh Roarke how I love you.

This installment went a little different to normal - the main murder is solved quite quickly, and we are left on the trail of someone from Roarke's past who has come to the present day to cause trouble.

It was great delving more into events from the enigmatic Roarke's past. I adore the way Roarke and his Eve work together, and this time I felt there was a lot more emotion between them, the worry they have for each other, the love they have for each other.

It was also great the way Eve and Roarke's worlds work together. It was like we got to see a bit of everybody at the precinct working together.

And I love the way Eve and Summerset's relationship has grown to where it is now.

Gah, I just love everything about this book.

Now I need to go find a Roarke of my own, as I am sure Dallas won't give up hers.

I can't wait for book 52!
