Product Description
In a time when technology can reveal the darkest of secrets, there's only one place to hide a crime of passion - in the heart. . .
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.

 Another great book in the series. August 6, 2008
I have read the first book in the series "Naked In Death", and now have read the second, "Glory In Death". I found "Glory" to be just as good as I found "Naked" to be. Filled with deep characters, fast moving cases, and an interesting sci-fi futuristic backdrop, this series is a winner.
Like some reviewers have already stated, this is a mix of Police Procedural, Romance, and Science Fiction all bundled up into one great series.
Each book you learn more and more about the main characters, and can watch their relationships grow.
I definitely plan on reading all of this series.
I would start with book one and move on from there. That's what I'm doing.
Happy Reading!
 Solid follow-on March 12, 2008
Glory in Death is the second book in J.D. Robb/Nora Roberts's 'in death' series. The series employs a shamelessly over-the-top homicide detective & erotic romance combination to wonderfully fun effect.
On the one hand, the answer to the murder in this novel seemed a bit obvious to me early on; it was telegraphed a little more heavily than usual. On the other hand, Roberts managed to make me doubt my conclusions by throwing a few curve-balls into the mix, and that helped to keep me from feeling the kind of frustration I usually feel when it seems as though the mystery is revealed to the reader too early.
Eve and Roarke's relationship continues and deepens in enjoyable ways. It's still early enough that there are serious conflicts and sparks, but they're turning into a fantastic team. They have wonderful chemistry that brings both romance and sex alive on the page.
In this novel we meet Peabody, who's still in uniform (later in the series she becomes Eve's partner). I'm curious to read the intervening books, because at the moment I'm having trouble reconciling her current somewhat stern demeanor with her later openness and excitability. I'm looking forward to seeing how she changes over time and goes from one to the other.
In short, this isn't the best of the 'in death' novels, but it's definitely an enjoyable read!
Glory in Death February 9, 2008
This entire series is great! The characters are compelling and once started, you can't stop reading. I've read them all now and suggest, if possible, to read them in order since there are references to prior incidents from one to the next.
Exciting February 5, 2008
I love this entire series!!! Kudos to The author. Its not to futuristic where you must spend time trying to figure out new wave lingo. Love it!!!
Great condition January 18, 2008
I just received my new (old) JD Robb book, which fills in the series for me. I was very happy with the timing of the shipping, the quality of the handling/packaging and the condition of the book. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from this vendor again.
