5 Well Deserved Stars

I've said it before and I'll say it again, there are very few authors whose novellas I enjoy. Most of the time they seem incomplete or uninteresting. I'm happy to say that JD Robb didn't disappoint on that aspect of her writing.

This novella was just as good as her full novels. The story was cohesive, the mystery interesting and the killer worthy of attention. This author can really do no wrong.

Short but sweet novella which picks up immediately from where the last book finished. Poor Eve and Roarke seem to have every holiday disrupted by yet another murder! Not that they let it get them down. They still manage to enjoy some very close moments in between the police work.
I really enjoyed this little taste of In Death land and it left me keen to get on with the next book:)

Very good for a rather short story!
Obviously all the characters are present and excellent as Always!

This one was a novella, but read like a longer book. Enjoyed it. Took up straight after the previous book finished. Eve and Roarke ... what's not to love?

Festive fun and joy at Christmas with Roarke and Eve. 🎉

This is a novella taking place between Christmas and New Year.
Eve chases a serial killer who has escaped prison and is after the one's who put him away in the first place, including Eve and Dr. Mira. It is intense but nothing like her full length novels. This is a novella taking place between Christmas and New Year.

Read this with the J. D. Robb group. Love this story!!! Making a short story this entertaining is a gift. And, Nora/J. D., has it. She manages to intro characters and still put an exciting story in it. Putting one of my fav characters in jeopardy was terrifying!

Suspense 4.5 stars / Romance 4 stars

Short, but intense story.

Bloody merry Christmas...

Haven't read an "In Death" book for eons but this short story was available in audio, and in my magpie mood (head hurting so not thinking straight), I thought I'd give it a try. Actually, it was pretty good. Let's face it, Robb can write suspense very well, as well as set atmospheric scenes and create believable baddies. Being a short story, it all happens 'quickly' and yet it felt satisfying.

Actually, I really should try to read a few more of these. It does boggle the mind - a series of 49 boo

Actually, I really should try to read a few more of these. It does boggle the mind - a series of 49 books (not counting the short stories) with the same leads! There are a few secondary characters, Peabody, Mira, the tech guy whose name escapes me, who do feel like they are going to be allowed to grow.

Midnight in Death
4 Stars

The first novella of the series, Midnight in Death begins in the aftermath of the events of Holiday in Death when a killer from Eve's past escapes and begins taking revenge on those he holds responsible for his conviction. He starts with the judge and prosecutor, but it is Eve who is his ultimate target.

A solid and comprehensive read, but it fails to answer some of the questions left unanswered after last book; especially the aftermath of the attack on Peabody, which is

Midnight in Death
4 Stars

A solid and comprehensive read, but it fails to answer some of the questions left unanswered after last book; especially the aftermath of the attack on Peabody, which is glossed over very quickly.

The case is well developed despite the shorter length and the information revealed about Eve prior to the beginning of the series demonstrate her growth both as an investigator and as a woman. Nevertheless, the climax and resolution are somewhat anti-climactic given the build up of tension surrounding the killer's motivations and actions.

In terms of character development, Eve and Mira's relationship is taken to another level as finally Eve admits just how much Mira means to her and there are some wonderfully sweet and humerous moments as Eve shares Christmas gifts with Roarke and Peabody. Looking forward to the next full length installment.

One of the few novellas I like to reread. Three serial killers in a row but this book is different than the others. Eve knows how Daved Palmer operates so she goes into this murder(s) better prepared. I kind of like Palmer for his evil creative mind. What is really impressive is how much crime solving and action occurs in only 10 chapters. Above all, we see the mother/daughter relationship developing between Eve and Dr. Mira. Good stuff!

Eve is on someone's Christmas list....

Didn't matter that book was shorter than all the rest. The fact is that Robb has written a damn good story with just a quarter of the word count. Not many authors can pull off novellas, but J.D. Robb can.

This story takes place right after the previous one where the Christmas holidays are in full spring. But Eve and Roarke can't enjoy it because a man who Eve had the pleasure to catch before has escaped and is killing once again. Bu

Eve is on someone's Christmas list....

Although there isn't much character development in this novella, there's plenty of suspense and action. The last few pages were particularly engaging, but that's no surprise as it is with all of her books.

Eve's still badass. Roarke is still too good to be true. And Peabody is still my favourite sidekick that any could have.

Another old adversary of Eve is back. A mentally defective killer who has his own private chamber of horrors. Okay, so this one is a novella but it still packed a punch. Love everything about this series. :)

I love a good novella and this one was one of the best. Fast paced, creepy bad guy, and loads of Eve/Roarke moments.

A good little novella, writing flowed and I didn't feel like the author was trying to rush to the end, as I sometimes feel when reading a novella.

This novella picks up immediately from where the last book finished, and again Eve and Roarke's plans are disrupted, by murder yes, but murders committed by an escaped convict that has his gaze locked on Eve and someone close to her.

Probably this is not the first time I'm going to say that I don't really enjoy novellas. In my opinion, what happens is that the plot has to be worked out very fast and the overall deliverance is compromised. That being said, I still enjoyed Midnight in Death, it was a fairly good plot with enough angst. But it was just one more crime story that Eve had to solve with the help of her team.

I feel like I need to put this series aside for a spell, before I get bored with it. I wonder if I will get back to it in the future, possibly. ...more

Really liked this little holiday story, oh the things that happen in the week between Christmas and New Year's Eve, especially in NYC. I missed Mavis, Leonardo and Bella, and there certainly wasn't enough of Peabody, but all the Eve and Roarke essentials were there.

Midnight in Death happens hot on the heels of the previous book, Holiday in Death with a case that interrupts Eve and Roarke's Christmas and threatens to end her before the New Year's.

Midnight in Death is a novella and the story moves along swiftly, but the author didn't neglect background or development as it went. A torturing, insane serial killer has some of Eve's closest associates including herself on a vengeful hit list. She wants to get him badly since she put him away the first time and

Midnight in Death happens hot on the heels of the previous book, Holiday in Death with a case that interrupts Eve and Roarke's Christmas and threatens to end her before the New Year's.

There is a ruthlessness to Eve's work because she delves deep and feels each case. I enjoy the balance of Roarke in her life to grab hold of her at times before she slips under and drowns. Peabody, Feeney, and McNab make their appearances as well as Dr. Mira. This one worked to whet my appetite for what comes next in the series.

In typical novella fashion this enfolded at a lightning pace, with a too quick wrap up. I enjoyed the mystery, and I believe it was full book worthy.

Midnight in Death by J.D.Robb is a short novella in the In Death series set after Holiday in Death. A serial killer whom Eve had captured 3 years earlier has escaped and is targeting those responsible for his conviction. Another terrific addition to the series with all the usual characters and plenty of sizzling romance.

A muscle in her cheek jumped as she set her teeth. "I phrased that incorrectly. You're going to wear a bracelet."

AUDIOBOOK

If Nora Roberts is going to maintain the murder mystery formula, then she needs to keep the length of the book. This novella was too short. I couldn't connect. It was disappointing because this one hit close to Eve's home and would have been fantastic, if the story was more developed.
