Discussion your speculations on who is the killer and Eve and Roarke romance here as you read the In Death series through our snail mail book swap. Please post which book at the top of the post to avoid spoilers as details are allowed to be discussed here.

Book 2: Glory in Death

Just started chapter 12. So far I think it might be either David Angelini or Randall Slade. Clues are pointed to them. However, I think it's unlikely to be either.

My wild card guess is C. J. Morse. He wants fame and fortune. But my guess is it won't be him either as JDR will keep him as a reoccurring character in the series.

So I still don't really know.

Loved Mavis and Eve's girl's night at Roarke's. Maybe a Mavis/Summerset hook up further on in the series. Summerset is all serious and proper but I don't recall the books mentioning him being an old man so far. It seems like he could possible be dazzled by Mavis.

Hey Anne, I just found the thread and this is a great idea! I've read up through Midnight in Death so far and love the way the characters are growing and developing. Without giving anything away, I can tell you that Mavis and Summerset continue to be in the stories and a few new people come into play to make Eve's life richer. I don't recall Robb mentioning that Summerset is an old guy wither but I have a visual of him as a stuffy old butler type

Lori

Anne/Lori, I just love Mavis. To use my sister's terminology, she is a "hoot." She really works at loosening up Eve. I also get a big kick out of Eve and Summerset's love/hate relationship.

Don't know if Sommerset is real old, but he is definitely older than Roarke--Anne, I think you'll find out more about Sommerset in one of the later books if I'm remembering correctly.

Hi gang; I just finished reading Betrayal In Death which is book #12. I think you will really enjoy watching the character developments this far. and did you know that there are about three more books in the series coming out this year? We may never be done, but what fun.

Anne; M is next on the list.

cindy

Hey Cindy, I've been seeing all the new In Death books coming out--how exciting! It's amazing that she can continue writing good stories with these characters & it doesn't get boring. I have seen a lot of the hardcovers on sale in B&N now that they're all out in paperback. Thanks again for turning me on to these books. Looks like we're going to be enjoying them for a while--looking forward to sharing the fun. Ramona

Hi all,

Thanks for remembering me... , I am presently emailing Anne my mailing address... umm um... more books..........

Ramona thank you for making this happen. You my dear are one of the best... xoox

Hello all

Hey Anne I mailed out book 4, Rapture in Death to you one day this week. Think it was Tuesday. I haven't started book 5 yet, will soon. I really want to read this book called Easy Way To Stop Smoking...which I put down last year. Glad your not in a hurry. Think I will read the JD Robb books in the evening.

Barb

I just finished Midnight in Death & just now noticed that it's not on the list of the In Death books listed inside the front cover of Holiday in Death. Is it listed on the other books? If not, Cindy, how did you know this one existed? It's obviously a very short, quick read & you don't have to guess about whodunit, but it was still good. Are there other short ones like this?

SPOILER ALERT for remainder of post if you haven't read this far into series:

Not having read summaries on any of the later books, I was so afraid they were going to kill off Mira--I do so love her role in Dallas's life. I also thought for sure Palmer would manage to capture Dallas & she would suffer some--of course, I knew she wouldn't be killed since she's the main character. I'm thinking maybe the next one is going to tell about Eve & Dallas's New Year's Day together.

Ramona

Barb, I'll be mailing out Holiday in Death and Midnight in Death to you tomorrow. Didn't want to mail separately since MID is so short. Which one are you reading now?

Ramona

Some of you (at least Cindy) may have checked out Nora Roberts site. I just went there and saw where there are four shorter books (one to come out this year) in the In Death series--considered anthologies. They also have two short stories written by her that you can read on line. They also have Eve Dallas coffee for sale, but I think it's only in the store. Pretty cool! Ramona

Ramona, it's on my list of the series which I got from J. D. Robbs' website. It's number 8. I can email you (and anyone else who wants it) the copy I saved to my computer so you have it handy if you'd like.

So Ramona is about to start book 9. Where are the rest of you ladies at?

Cindy ??? --> Lori ??? --> Ramona (#9: Conspirary) --> Barb (#5: Ceremony)??? --> Anne (#3: Immortal) --> M (#1: Naked)

OOPs~Hope I'm not holding anyone up. Anne I have conspiracy listed as #9, I think, that's the one I just started reading so I'll finish that up asap and send it on to Ramona. Did you finish #3 or are you still working on that one?
