I bought the first 3 books in this series years ago but I never got to read them. The time was right as I needed a break from romance after I read an amazing romance and I would probably do any other book an injustice reading it after that one. Naked in Death seemed like the perfect solution as it still has some romantic elements but the focus is on the mystery part. I was not wrong!
This book blew me away. I found the mystery part very well written. I did not know who the killer was until s/he was revealed (I'm normally not good at guessing these things though so it doesn't mean much :P) and I was at the edge of my seat while reading this book. I loved the writing style and the characters were flawed but likeable. Eve kind of reminds me of Kate Daniels, though Kate will probably always be my favourite girl. Eve is pretty amazing in her own rights though and while Roarke is almost too good to be true, I loved him! How could I not?
I have to say, for a sci-fi written in 1995, this read amazingly well even 23 years later. I was very reluctant to read this at first because I've only read a couple of Nora Roberts CRs and I didn't like them but she did an amazing job here.
The size of this series is daunting but I will definitely read more about detective Eve Dallas and her man solving crimes. I'm hooked!...more
