I was rather uncomfortable with the overall subject matter of this book which centers around the use of an extremely toxic “super date rape drug” used by two young men in a game...of all things. The atrocity is compounded by the fact that none of the victims survive.

That being said, this is a very well written work with excellent plotting. The interaction between Lt. Eve Dallas and the rest of the regulars who make up the cast of these novels is excellent. This is about the 46th novel in this series and with the notable exception of a couple of previous entries; this is an excellent read which moves the entire Eve Dallas sage forward.

For me one of the high points in this novel was the verbal interaction between Eve and her sidekick, Peabody. The conversation was highly entertaining and these verbal exchanges are some of the best examples of this authors work. The author also did a wonderful job of making the evil guys extremely loathsome in several different ways. I love to see really disgusting bad guys get what is coming to them.

This was a good read and an excellent addition to this series.

Seduction in Death Nora Roberts 9780749934392 Books Reviews

No,#13 ~Seduction ID~

fans of the series enjoy the "colorful and snappy dialog" between Eve and Roarke, not to mention the curl-your-toes bedroom scenes!! that we all love! McNab and Peabody garner a good and funny story line, and we visit with characters from previous books as well. I love it breaks it up Some Not So Dead Serious makes it more realistic Life isn't All Serious that wouldn't be and Fun...Now would it.....

Eve and Roarke continue to grow together... accepting each other's quirks and foibles a little more each time, with more ease. I love it they are So Good For each other. And Who doesn't chuckle over Charles calling Eve "Lt. Sugar!" "Totally Sweet" lol

I feel as though I am visiting old friends again! I Would Give Each Installment MORE than 5 stars if I Could.

BRAVO! J.D.ROBB BRAVO!!!
I’ve laughed out loud numerous times, in spite of the book opening with a nightmare of Eve’s and details the horrible events of her childhood. The crimes she’s investigating may be a trigger for some readers, too. The police procedural aspect of this episode is also exceptional. And this one oozes romance, and not just for Dallas and Roarke (though it does contain one of, if not the, best love scenes I’ve ever read). My favorite of a favorite series (at least so far). Update re-read it again after reading #12 “Betrayal in Death”. Even better, as I had the context for that book.
First, my hat is off to so many of the reviewers of Ms Robb's books -- spot on and so helpful when I debate whether to spend $7.99 on a novel I could read free at a library. What is not to like about this series? Nothing. It is all superb. Great dialogue often sarcastic and humorous (as it can be when dealing with such tragic events). Eve's and Roark's relationship feisty, respectful, hot, tempestuous, nerve-wracking, vulnerable and human. Eve's crew flawed people with hearts big enough to face the horrors of homicides and never stop stopping the bad people. Writing bang on and such a relief to read a book with little to no English grammar issues. Eager anticipation fully satisfied when I tuck myself away from reality for a while and get lost in the travails of 2059 Earth.
This series is as addictive as Zeus! In this book, #13 of the series, a woman falls from the upper floors of an apartment building right at the feet of Dr. Louise Dimatto. Eve had met her previously and had given her clinic a half million dollars from an account Roarke had set up in Eve's name.

Anyway, the investigation quickly shows that two men are slipping drugs to a date - drugs that make them sexually aroused and that lowers their normal inhibitions. Then the women are raped. The first time, the killer didn't actually intend to kill; he accidentally overdosed her, then threw her body off the balcony.

For the men - boys, really, just 22 years old - it's a game for points and bragging rights, which makes Eve angry and determined to take them down.

All the gang is here in this one. Charles Monroe and Dr. Dimatto hit it off. MacNab and Peabody settle their differences and agree to date exclusively. Eve gets rundown and sick before the case wraps up, so Roarke calls Summerset in to dose her with his special formulas. Of course she fights it and Roarke has to forcibly administer the meds - like a recalcitrant 2-year-old.

I love the mutual friendly/hostile relationship with Eve. They trade barbs because their personalities and egos won't allow them to admit to kindly feelings for each other.

Commander Whitney takes a personal, hands-on interest in the case, going into the field with Eve and her team.

And in the end, after both killers are disposed of, Eve and Roarke her off for a 2-week vacation in Mexico.

Some great dialogue as always. Eve and Peabody

"Amused, Eve started the scan again. “I was single a hell of a lot longer than I’ve been married. I never stooped to cyber-world.”

"Big deal when you’re tall and thin with jungle-cat eyes and have a sexy little dent in your chin.”

"You coming onto me, Peabody?”

"My love for you is a fearsome thing, Dallas. But I’ve given up dating cops.”

********
Eve and Nadine
"“You, Lieutenant Locked Lips, are going to, of your own free will and out of a sense of camaraderie, give me data on an ongoing investigation.”

"That’s right.”

"Just a minute.” Nadine’s face disappeared from the ’link screen for ten seconds. “Just wanted to check with the meteorologist. It appears, despite indications to the contrary, hell has not frozen over.”

"Pardon me while I fall into an uncontrollable fit of giggles. You want the data or not?”
*******
Roarke and MacNab
"Roarke leaned forward, gently patted McNab’s knee. “You’re in love with her.”

His jaw dropped. The beer in the pilsner slid dangerously toward the edge as it tipped. Roarke righted it. “I am?”

"I’m afraid so.”

McNab stared at Roarke with the expression of a man who’d just been told he had a fatal disease. “Well, hell.”
******
Eve and Peabody and MacNab
"“You don’t need to diet, She-Body. You are a just-right female.”

"McNab?” Eve said.

"Yes, sir.”

"Shut up.”

"It’s all right, Dallas. We’re a couple.”

"A couple of what? No, don’t tell me. Don’t talk to me. Don’t talk to each other. Let there be silence across the land.”

4.25 stars!
