I don't remember Eve making a reservation. That doesn't seem like something she would do.

I think she wanted to interview a waitress about a suspect: I'm not sure, but I think the restaurant owner had an accent and was sneering when they first walked in, but then jumped to attention (because you know, Roarke) and then his accent was pronounced and he was preening at how one of his waitstaff had caught a glimpse of said suspect... something about his complexure, I think. Or maybe I'm just going crazy? =)

Now you have me curious. I know that Roarke throws his weight around a lot and Eve mentions that his name is more powerful than her badge but I can't remember this scene at all.

Let me know if anyone thinks of the book! It's really puzzling me!

I FOUND IT! Sorry I'm so happy. It's Big Jack, where Dallas goes to Brooklyn to follow up on one of her victim's boyfriend/suspect.

Good sleuthing. I didn't check any of the novelllas

The first one is book #4 "Rapture In Death".

The third one is "

The third book is "Purity in Death" book # 15

The second one is "Portrait in Death" book #16 or it could be the one with Carole's daughter was charged with the murder of a husband and homeland security set her up.

I don't know if this be the right place to post this but, does this look like a good picture of Eve Dallas for you guys (BTW I didn't draw this)? https://blogs.forbes.com/olliebarder/...

She looks a little young but it has the fierceness. Is this how you see her?

You're not wrong about the young part, but as soon as I saw those eyes, I saw Eve Dallas, even if it is somebody else.

Yes it dose, all but the color of the hair and eyes. Eve's eyes are brown and her hair is brown, black and blond

That's a great picture for Eve even though as the others say, it is a bit on the young side.

The second one is 6 - Vengance in Death. Peabody, McNab and Roarke (and maybe Feeney) are in Eve’s home office, Peabody is talking to Eve on her comm and they all hear the explosion.

The lady in that picture is Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell. Netflix recently announced a new animated series and that was the first promo shot of Motoko.

I know many of you aren't familiar with GiTS, but if you watched both the original animated movie and the new one with Scarlett Johannson, you'd be amazed at how close it'd look to the In Death universe. And if y'all want to know something neat, the original movie came out in 95 around the time when Naked in Death came out.

BTW, I apologize for going off topic, I was just clarifying who the lady in the picture was. I know it's not Eve, but it's definitely dead close.

So I make no secret that I'm an anime fan, and for the record it's not just the In Death, but everytime I either read or listen to an book I visualize the story as an anime. But here's my question: if an Anime version of the In Death series were to be made and this would be the visuals for it would you watch it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbc8t...

Gotta admit that I’ve never watched any anime. However, I’d be curious enough to check it out.

I thing I would watch it

I probably would. If done well, it may even be better than an actual movie or tv series. The characters could potentially be done as described in the books - better so than finding people to fit the descriptions.

What book does Roarke make a space for Eve in the house? One that is exactly like her apartment. Thanks

I think it’s the three book

Thanks. I just found it. It is in Glory ID. This was driving me nuts!!

Does anyone remember which store Eve goes into twice during two different investigations? One was towards the beginning of the series and one was towards the end, and I think it was the sales clerk that recognized her. I think the first appearance was Holiday in Death, but does anyone know the second time she goes into that store?

Book one when she met a sale girl in a Beauty salon and the second time she met her is Holiday in death after she merry Roarke

Are you thinking of Tiko? The kid who sells on the street? She bought scarves from him and then one Christmas she sees him again and he takes her to a store where she buy everybody a purse.

No, there was an instance (and I can't remember where, that's what's bothering me) where Eve goes into this shop and the clerk there (it's a female) remembers her and I think groans? Because last time she was there, there was such a hassle. The second time Eve was at this shop was in the later half of the series, but I don't recall where.

OK - am not sure about this, but when you said the clerk groans...it reminded me of Holiday in Death - it was an early book and there is an "match-making' kind of company & they would send their clients(some of whom are getting murdered) to this "beauty salon/spa" place. Eve & Peabody had been there before and the clerk wasn't too happy to have cops in the place. Am not sure if that's the one, but it's the only thing that came to mind. Good Luck.

Can someone tell in which book is Summerset attacked while he's at the market. He's haggling with the market owner over the price of grapes and he's attacked by someone involved in Eve's investigation while his back is turned

I believe it's .

(view spoiler)[

He stuck out his hand. “Twenty credits.”
“Ten credits a grape?” Summerset sniffed with his long nose. “I’m amazed you can make such a statement with a straight face.”
“You ate my grapes, you pay for my grapes. Twenty credits.”
Enjoying himself, Summerset gave a weary sigh. “I may be persuaded to buy a pound of your mediocre grapes, for display purposes only. Consumption is out of the question. I will pay in dollars. One pound, eight dollars.”
“Ha! You’re trying to rob me, as usual.” An event the grocer looked forward to every week. “I’ll call the beat droid. One pound, twelve dollars.”
“If I paid such an exorbitant amount, I would either require psychiatric treatment or I would be forced to sue you for extortion. Then your lovely wife and children would be obliged to visit you in prison. As I don’t want such a responsibility, I will pay you ten dollars, and no more.”

I don't know how to quote the comment I'm replying to on here but Thanks so much Renegade. I've been looking for the scene for months

Glad I could help, Readyornot, and you're very welcome! 🙂

I also think she when there in “Holiday in Death” where she Brought Dr. Mira a gift and she was looking for a unsub.

The question about Betrayal In Death had me thinking about the characters. Has anyone noticed the similarities and repeating characters names throughout the In Death series.

Magda Lane the actress (who also has a thing for Roarke) and Magdalena the ex in Innocent. There are others that I've thought about over the years too.

Hi - is there a special 'discussion group' some place for Nora's other books. I'd like to know if anyone has heard anything about:
The Awakening (The Dragon Heart Legacy, Book 1). Thanks, MDy

We have a separate Nora Roberts group (link below). The book was added to the book list but we haven’t opened a thread for it as we don’t yet have a description or a cover!

Thanks, Jonetta.

You’re welcome! As soon as we get info about the new series, we will post it in that group.

Good to know. Thanks again.

Hi, does anyone remember the book where Eve was held hostage in cop central and Roarke was trying to override the door dystem to get her out?

I believe it was Obession in Death

Thank you Barbara! It's been niggling at me for days.

So I just a found a more accurate drawing of Eve Dallas I want to share with y'all. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-cQWC-JA...

That the first one I have seen that look like what I thought Eve Dallas should look like

Wow - they even got the "chin" thing (can't remember what it's called). Now all that's needed is the long, magic coat! Great eyes on the sketch.

That’s pretty good, Seth!

Mdy, it’s a cleft chin.

Great picture. That is very close to how I see Eve.

Jonetta wrote: "That’s pretty good, Seth!

Probably should've put in a disclaimer that I didn't draw that, and I need to figure out how to change my name over here to what I usually use on other websites.

But I wish this artist two things: That she draws Roarke at some point, and if a Graphic Novel adaptation were to be Greenlit, I hope this artist gets hired.

I checked out a few books to read again, but in Connections in Death Roarke keeps referring to her farm in nebraska. I don't remember this. Can anybody refresh my memory?
