The phenomenal series set in a future New York City returns as NYPSD Lt. Eve Dallas hunts for the killer of a seemingly ordinary history teacher-and uncovers some extraordinary surprises. Craig Foster's death devastated his young wife, who'd sent him to work that day with a lovingly packed lunch. It shocked his colleagues at the private school, too, and as for the ten-year-old girls who found him in his classroom in a pool of bodily fluids-they may have been traumatized for life.
Eve soon determines that Foster's homemade lunch was tainted with deadly ricin, and that Mr. Foster's colleagues have some startling secrets of their own. It's Eve's job to sort it out- and discover why someone would have done this to a man who seemed so inoffensive, so pleasant . . . so innocent.
Now Magdalena Percell . . . there's someone Eve can picture as a murder victim. Possibly at Eve's own hands. The slinky blonde-an old flame of her billionaire husband, Roarke-has arrived in New York, and she's anything but innocent. Roarke seems blind to Magdalena's manipulation, and he insists that the occasional lunch or business meeting with her is nothing to worry about . . . and none of Eve's business. Eve's so unnerved by the situation that she finds it hard to focus on her case. Still, she'll have to put aside her feelings, for a while at least-because another man has just turned up dead.
Eve knows all too well that innocence can be a faŤade. Keeping that in mind may help her solve this case at last. But it may also tear apart her marriage.

Summary: THE FUTURE OF MURDER, NEW YORK STYLE
Comment: I always enjoy great escapist reading and Innocent in Death is guaranteed to keep any reader riveted until the very last page. Set in a futuristic New York City and inhabited by engaging characters this book is all things to all readers....romance novel, thriller, gripping mystery and more.
It features a strong, capable (yet vulnerable) female Detective named Eve Dallas, her uber-successful drop dead gorgeous hubby Roarke; Sommerset, their dedicated, faithful and somewhat acerbic major-domo, Roarke's manipulative, sexy and equally gorgeous old flame Magdelana Percell a woman used to getting what she wants....and she wants Roarke; and Eve's partner, the ever observant Peabody.
Added to the romantic triangle aspect of the story is a fascinating mystery concerning the murder of a history teacher at a posh local girl's school. With no obvious motive for the killing, Eve is at a loss in deducing who the culprit could be. The author has provided us with a plethora of possible candidates from rival teachers to spouses to lovers as well as a look at 21st century technology.
Divulging any more details might spoil your enjoyment of this extraordinary tale. So, if your curiosity has been piqued, buy the book and enjoy.

Summary: HER USUAL EXCELLENT READ
Comment: "The Death Series" just goes on & on with no let up in quality and no drop in one's pleasure in reading the book. She transports you to another New york City that's so much the same as today And so different but plausible that it could really be New York in 2059. But that's just the background! The plot twists & turns are always fresh & never stop coming - her characters are old & familiar but in a fun, comfortable way that the reader can always count on & also be on the alert for new changes in their personal lives. Where dores she keep coming up with these new crimes and plots??? What a gifted writer. I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't had the hundreds of hours of pleasure I've had from reading this series sterting with the very first book. Don't miss a single one.

Summary: Gets better and better...
Comment: Where some authors start to lose their writing style/tempo in later books, JDR just gets better and better. I had an idea who the killer could possibly be half way through the book, but it didn't deter me from completing the story.
Love how JDR flips from the emotions of one character to another.
This is a definite must read. Am so looking forward to 'Creation in Death'.

Summary: Good, But Few Surprises
Comment: J.D. Robb lovers like me will like this book, although the format is wearing a little thin. I need more Peabody! Good news -- Dallas and Somerset actually collaborate on something! Book arrived in perfect condition.
