The second book in J.D. Robb's "...IN DEATH" series, following NAKED IN DEATH, is another winner. The thing I love the most about this series, besides the awesome, fully-developed characters, is the fact that the mystery is ALWAYS thrilling and realistic.
This time around, popular, well-known, outspoken women are being murdered - their throats viciously slashed. As Eve works to discover the true killer, she also finds family secrets, devious reporters, and new friends in strange places.
GLORY IN DEATH features the first appearance of Peabody, a larger role for Nadine Furst, and the first glimpse into what Eve's childhood really entailed.
I'm absolutely LOVING rediscovering my favorite romantic suspense series of all time!!

Great series of books!!
Book # 2 of the In Death Series by JD Robb/Nora Roberts.
Strong and successful but seemingly unconnected women are being killed all over the city. Dallas is strong and successful - will she be a target?
Other milestones in this book: Roarke, Eve's new richer-than-god sweet patootie starts to pressure his cop into a more permanent and exclusive arrangement. The man who knows she likes coffee even better than diamonds knows what he wants and just how to get it.
Eve Dallas meets Crack, the enormous gleaming black bouncer with the honeyed jive talk who runs the Down & Dirty club for the first time. Its a kick to see characters that make it all the way to the latest novels just starting their relationship with our Heroine.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think Peabody, Dallas' assistant and eventual partner, makes her first appearance in the next book in the series, #3 Immortal In Death.

Nora Roberts as J.D. Robb -- slightly futuristic, good mystery, lots of sex.
The first victim was found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The second was murdered in her own apartment building. Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas had no problem finding connections between the two crimes. Both victims were beautiful and highly successful women. Their glamorous lives and loves were the talk of the city. And their intimate relations with men of great power and wealth provided Eve with a long list of suspects including her own lover, Roarke. As a woman, Eve was compelled to trust the man who shared her bed. But as a cop, it was her job to follow every lead... to investigate every scandalous rumor... to explore every secret passion, no matter how dark. Or how dangerous...
The J.D. Robb series is the best!
fabulous series with a fabulous heroine!
I was completely off on who the murder was. I didn't think it was the person the police was pursuing but I also didn't click on it being the eventual guilty party until the police were clicking on them as well. I was surprised but I probably shouldn't have been; looking back I can see the hints and the little bits of information
Great reading - don't want to put it down!
The second book in the "In death" futuristic thriller series written by Nora Roberts under the pen name J.D. Robb and having Lt. Eve Dallas as the central character.
The second in the J.D. Robb series involving Rourke and Eve. As usual, Nora Roberts wrote a compelling story. Eve tries to solve several murders while getting more deeply involved emotionally with Rourke. I really enjoy this series.
Excellent story. Another J. D. Robb winner. Can't wait to start the next one to see what Eve gets involved in.
Book #2 in the Jl.D. Robb Eve Dallas Series. The romance continues and mysteries abound in this futuristic books which takes place in New York in around 2059. Fantastic. Must read these in order!
Typical Robb, fast paced, gritty, futuristic. Well done.
Second book in the "In Death" series by Nora Roberts writing as J. D. Robb...it was excellent.
The second book in the Eve Dallas series. Good reading....some futuristic, romantic, suspensful fiction.
Couldn't put it down.
this one has a good story line and the relationship between Eve and Roarke is really developed more than the first book. The story and crime are interestinh.
Good Read!!
This was a great follow up from the original. Glory picks up where Naked left off. However, anyone could enjoy the story without having read the first one. Great murder story and heartfelt friendship development. The futuristic backdrop is refreshing and imaginative. Enjoy!!
The first 3 books of this series are my favorites. I love powerful Lt. Eve Dallas and how the complex New York City crimes are solved. If you don't wanna bite her husband, don't read these books! Nora Robert's best writing is as JD Robb in this "In Death" series of some 30+ stories to date. I collect all of the JD Robb books, but skip the Roberts, whose stories are not as tight as those about Lt. Eve Dallas - ass kicker! If the future of New York is like this, I fear these futuristic killers who are sneaky and complex.
J.D Robb's In Death books are essentially murder mysteries in a futuristic setting, with a touch of romance mixed in. The first in the series, Naked In Death, introduces Eve Dallas, a homicide detective in New York.
In this, the second book, she is solving the murders of several women in prominent social positions. This mystery is frankly not that mysterious--I knew who the killer after about 100 pages and was just waiting for the peices to fall into place. It's not boring, however. In addition to the police drama, Eve's relationship with Roarke continues to progress. Overall, it's a fairly good book and a very entertaining series.

Hard to believe it but these books get better as they go along.
very good
Dallas and Roarke are always fun. In this one his pursuit of Dallas is cute, the bad guy is a bit of a surprise, and fun is had by all.
love this series
Found these books YEARS after they were released. So very happy so I dont have to wait for the next installment. Amazing book and series.
Can't get enough of this JD Robb series. Wonderful!!
I really enjoy this series, and have been pleased with the quality of writing and imagination. I read books from later in the series, so it was great to find out what happened first.
This was a murder suspense of strong characters. I was held on the edge of my seat thinking Dallas might take the fall. The romance continues with a bumps and valleys. Great developemnt of the characters and very hard to put down.
I don't know how she keeps us interested in Dallas and Roarke after all of these books, but reading about there relationship beginning was like watching a love story develop. Very enjoyable
I'm not a fan of these books. I find the writing to be a lot like the series romances books so if you like that type these are good books for you.
Two succesful and beautiful women are murdered and Lt. Eve Dallas must investigate every rumor & suspect, including her lover, Roarke.
another great book 2nd in the in death series
great series
Excellent read

This is the 2nd in the series, and in my opinion every book gets better.
"Even in 2058, when genetic testing usually weeds out any violent hereditary traits before they can take over, murder still happens. The first victim is found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The second is murdered in her own apartment building. Lieutenant Eve Dallas has no problem finding connections between the two crimes. Both victims were beautiful and highly successful women. Their glamorous lives and loves were the talk of the city. And their intimate relations with men of great power and wealth provide Eve with a long list of suspects - including her own lover, Roarke." "As a woman, Eve is compelled to trust the man who shares her bed. But as a cop, it's her job to follow every lead...to invesitage every scandalous rumor...to explore every secret passion, no matter how dark." Or how dangerous.
Great author, very good series.
Second book in the series, after the first one I was hooked!
Prosecuting Attorney Cicely Towers, a powerful, talented professional, is found dead, throat slashed, in a sleazy part of town. Eve is called in as primary to work the case. Then a second victim turns up. A beautiful, up-and-coming TV actress is found murdered, throat cut, on the rear patio of her apartment building. Eve is again called in -same MO, most probably the same killer. Unfortunately, both victims were involved with Roarke in the past. Obviously this development causes friction in their growing relationship - a relationship which is also stressed by Eve's discomfort with Roark's world of wealth, power and the "beautiful people." Then there's the additional pressure of knowing that another murder will probably take place unless the case is solved ASAP.
Great Read!
Great Read!
Another great book by Nora Roberts aka J.D. Robb.
I enjoyed this second book in the series except I think the male/female relationship has a sado-masochistic quality. They are mean to each other. I also do not like the unnecessary profanity that is used frequently.
2nd Book in the Eve Dallas IN DEATH series.
Great addition following NAKED IN DEATH. You can read my full review on my blog at:

I love these Eve Dallas books!
Eve and Roarke are working out there relationship. Tring to fing common ground. All the while Eve has another murder investagation to complicate matters.
Homicide Detective Eve Dallas is investigating the murders of two women in prominent social positions. Both were found with their throat slashed. In each crime a souvenir was taken. There is a long list of suspects for these murders, including Eve's own lover, Roarke.
This is the second book in this series and it's a good one. Along with the mystery, we see the progression of Roarke and Eve's relationship. Roarke is ready to move forward with their relationship, but Eve isn't ready yet. We also see the introduction of Peabody in this book. My rating: 5 Stars.

Can't wait to read them all!!!
In most on-line romance reading communities, Rourke has been voted time and again as the favorite romantic hero, and now I finally know why. He's strong and tender, dominant but understanding....I just wish I liked Eve as much...
The mystery, like "Naked in Death", wasn't that interesting and didn't really convince me that Eve's as good a cop as she seems to think she is. Arresting someone based on circumstantial evidence seems like a mistake no one living in 2058 should be capable of making. In my opinion, this book is much better if you go in looking for romance rather than a satisfying mystery or thriller.

Well, it only took me a few hours to read this one! I was sucked in right away! I can't wait to someday hear Summerset's story!
Glory in Death continues where Naked in Death left off (this is 2nd in the series).
This book is as fun and thrilling a read as the first in the series. The plot is suspenseful and balances the mystery with the romance beautifully.
Overall, this is a first-rate romantic suspense novel with a fascinating futuristic setting and I highly recommend it!

The only difference from the picture shown is for this book is I have the original cover from the first printing. I absolutely Love these books!!
Eve Dallas is a dedicated policewoman of the future. Her relationship with Roark is in its infancy and again he is connected to a police case. The turns and twists in this second installment of JD Robb's Death Series is sure not to disappoint, with a conclusion which will satisfy both the mystery side but also the romantic side. It just makes you want to grab up the next book right away. Which of course is what I did.
Nora Roberts --J D Robb books are great. They keep you guessing until the last minute. This is no exception.
this is the second book in the 'in death series'. while it was not as good as the first, it was still a great book. eve finds herself face to face with a murderer who is killing successful woman. the killer makes this case personal, which makes it hard for eve to focus. while i figured out who the killer was early, robb makes it a point to add in twists that make you rethink your choice. this, so far, has been one of the greatest suspense series i have read.
I love the entire series! I can hardly wait for the next book to come out!!!
Great book! Couldn't put it down.
Great series. Love Eve and Roarke.
very good
Another superb Lt. Eve Dallas book. Best of the first three books of the "in Death" series.
The first victim was found lying on the sidewalk in the rain. The second was murdered in her own apartment building. Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas had no problem finding connedtions between two crimes. Both victims were beautiful and highly succesful women. Their glamorous lives and loves were the talk of the city.

As a woman, Eve was compelled to trust the man who shared her bed. But as a cop, it was her job to follow every lead...to investigate every scandalous rumor...to explore every secret passion, no matter how dark. Or how dangerous...
Book 2 of the In Death series. This series is written by Nora Roberts under the name of J D Robb. The first book is Naked in Death. This is a continuing series.
Very strong addition to this series. I liked the progression of Eve and Roarke's relationship and the grit and complexity of the case. Much better than anything she writes as Nora Roberts.
All of the 'In Death' books are great.
the beginning of the Eve Dallas series. Very good and will get you hooked!
If you don't care for Nora Roberts BUT love Mystery/Dark Thrillers with a side of romance and a dash of comedy - then I think you'll love J.D. Robb's ... In Death series written by Nora Roberts alter ego.
This is the 2nd book in the series.

Lieutenant Eve Dallas is a dedicated police officer in 2058. Suddenly powerful women are getting killed and Eve puts her whole self into tracking down the killer even setting herself up as bait. The 2nd in a series of books by Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb. Lots of action including Eve's romance with a rich and influencial man named Roarke.
Another great book about Eve Dallas. Futuristic book with droids and advanced communication networks for the police. This is a great series that I recommend. Some romance, but not heavy.
Book #2 in her In Death series. Lt Eve Dallas investigates the murders of two beautiful and highly successful women who have a connection with her lover, Roarke.
Great series
A thrilling novel in the futuristic series. The first victim was found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The senond was murdered in her own apartment building. Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas had no problem findind connections betwen the two crimes. Both victims were beautiful and highly successful women.
Loved it.
