Has anyone read the J. D. Robb death series?

6. I did read many of them.

The relationship between Eve and Roarke is very interesting to see developed. The interaction between Eve and Roarke's house-manager, substitute father figure, Somerset is a hoot. Also a lot of the long term side characters are pretty unique.

The criticism that I would offer is that after a while the author started thinking too much about introducing new readers to the characters' and things that happened to them in earlier books in the series. As a longer term reader I thought the re-hashing was way overdone. For example Eve had a traumatic childhood and it was interesting to see how that impacted her at first, but in later books it keeps getting dragged in over and over again, even after they've had Eve say she'd dealt with it.

The futuristic stuff was fun, if you enjoy a touch of fantasy. Over all I think the first few are worth the read but the later ones not so much.
