Naked In Death

After picking up one of the other "In Death" books from my local library, and discovering it was actually a series, I decided to go back and start with number one.

The author for the book "Naked In Death" is J.D. Robb, who is actually a pen name for the auther Nora Roberts.I am a fan of Nora Roberts, which is what led me to the series to begin with.Let me tell, the Naked In Death book did not disappoint!

One of the reasons that I enjoyed this book is because of the strong female lead- the entire In Death series is centered around main character Eve Dallas, a New York Lieutenant Police Officer.She definitely commands respect, and works in the homicide department, so each book generally revolves around the case she is working on at the moment.

I love the style of writing in this book- it is set in the future, and contains a good mix of futuristic element and modern day elements.Some of the comments that characters make about items and technologies we have today make them seem antiquated, which is a funny twist on things in my opinion.

This book is suspenseful, and I recommend having lots of time when you set out reading it, because you won't want to put it down!There is a love interest for Eve introduced in this book, Roarke, who causes turmoil in Eve's personal life, and it is nice to see the conflicts of a career woman trying to handle love and her job at the same time.

While I think the target audience for this book is probably women, I think the suspense and action is strong enough to be a good read for anyone.
