content: I've read many of Nora Roberts other books but had never gotten around to starting the "in Death" series. As soon as I picked it up I was hooked. I love the switch on focus from romance to mystery. Besides the great story line the details of how the future has a lot of the same problems we have today were great. The point where Eve Dallas' Autochef burnt her toast was a high point for me. I really enjoyed the chracter of Eve Dallas because it's not often you read of female cops and her constant professional attitude was great. Would recomend this series to any Nora Roberts fans.
