Always enjoy reading the books in the "death series". Am not a fan of the descriptive sex scenes between Eve and Roarke and some of the "mushy/gushy" stuff as I am not a big romance fan, but really enjoy police mysteries. Because of this I cannot give a 5 star rating to any of the books, but I have really enjoyed most of them.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

Unfortunately this was a DNF for me. I had also gathered two other books from the series and could not make it far into those either. I typically enjoy police procedurals but something about this writing style did not sit properly with me. I felt really disconnected from the main character. I may try to pick up the series from the first book and maybe that will change my review some, but it's a long series so that may take some time.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book. It just wasn't for me.

This was an engaging and well-written book that kept my interest throughout. The author delivered strong ideas and storytelling, with memorable moments that made it stand out. While there were a few areas that could have been expanded or polished further, overall it was an enjoyable and worthwhile read. I would recommend it to others looking for a thoughtful and rewarding experience.

I think this may have been the second book I have read in this series, and I remember it took me a minute to get into that one as well. I believe it is because it is taking place in the future, and you gotta get used to that part of the storyline.
What ends up being brought to light is a cult that is not for the good. You can see just how much is done within this cult, and how brainwashed some of the folks are within those walls. I have to say, I really love the way Eve Dallas handles herself, and once she has her teeth into something, she doesn't let it go.
If you like crime and the fact that it takes place in the future, I'd say jump into the book.

I have been a huge JD Robb fan since I was a teenager, I love this series and love continuing to follow along with Detective Eve Dallas

Faithless in Death is another hard hitting thriller in the long running Eve Dallas series. The murder of a young women leads Eve on the trail of a religious cult where nothing is off the table. Action packed and full of suspense, the thriller is compelling and enthralling as the pages fly by with some of my favorite characters. The chemistry between Eve and Roark is always present to spice up the story for that special little bit of romance that makes a good story great. My voluntary and unbiased review is based upon a review copy from NetGalley.

Murder, mystery, and romance all woven into a great read. The Plot of Faithless in death was great; it kept me fixated on reading more. If you like romance mysteries this is the book for you. You will fall in love with the FMC who isn't afraid to lead from the front, can fall back trusting that others will do theirs.

Another installment in the Eve Dallas In Death series. Another book I loved. How does she do it? A lover's fight that ends up turning into something dark.

Though in a series, they can be read as a standalone as JD Robb is such an amazing writer she can fill in the basics of the back story without you feeling lost.

A young artist is found murdered in her apartment. Detective Eve Dallas interviews Gwen Huffman, a wealthy young women who called the murder in. But to Eve, everything about her seems suspicious. Right away she determines Gwen is lying. What is she hiding? As the investigation continues, Eve uncovers secrets about Gwen's past. However, she and her fellow detectives uncover something much greater.

This was an entertaining, well-written book. Intricate, fascinating, spellbinding, fast-paced, fun and steamy, it kept me reading. This book can be read as a standalone story, though it is part of the "In Death" series. I enjoyed this book and will continue to look for the next book in this series. This author is a "must read" for me.

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for access to this title. All opinions expressed are my own.

In the 52nd instalment, Eve and Peabody call on the services of the FBI to help them with a sinister and fanatical cult.


Now, I should probably state that I am disappointed that mankind is still killing each other in the future. After all, this is a futuristic series. But I guess what has me disappointed is that J.D. Robb( Nora Roberts) is fairly confident we shall still have cults and they will do dastardly things to women and children.

A fairly good read.

The twists and turns as Lieutenant Eve Dallas investigates the death of a female artist kept me glued to this story for an entire day. What is especially disturbing is, even though this was published 2021, the storyline has an eerie reflection of current day (2025) America (sex trafficking, white power, cult, homophobia etc). While Eve has a romantic interest, the intimate details are, thankfully, kept to a minimum. There are many characters to keep track of but the main focus is kept to a chosen few. This is my third book by this author and it seems to get better and better.

Faithless in Death is a strong addition to J.D. Robb’s long-running series, with Lieutenant Eve Dallas once again at the center of a layered and high-stakes investigation. What starts as the murder of a young artist quickly pulls Dallas into a much larger and more disturbing web involving wealth, power, and the extremes of religious devotion.

Robb blends sharp procedural work with timely and unsettling themes, exploring how faith can be twisted to justify truly staggering acts. The pacing is tight, the case is complex, and the supporting cast—familiar to longtime readers—adds depth and texture as always.

It’s a satisfying, compelling read that delivers on everything fans expect: smart dialogue, moral tension, and Dallas’s unwavering drive for justice.

The murder of an artist leads to a creepy cult and the horror show they’ve created in the name of faith and purity. I’ve read 3 books in the series and this one was my favorite because it gave me Law & Order SVU vibes. The cult leader reminded me of certain infamous men currently in the news (2025) and Warren Jeffs.

Eve's latest case starts out with a murder that looks to be a case of a lover's spat turned deadly. However, it doesn't take long before the facts as presented don't add up, leaving Eve and her team to dig deeper with some very surprising results. I love the mix of core characters, how Roarke helps Eve out with her cases through his connections and his skills, and seeing how the team put together the clues to get to the real murderer and the larger criminal conspiracy.

Thank you to NetGalley, St Martin's Press and the author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

I definitely started this series late in the game with book 52 of the In Death series. As Ms Robb aka Nora Roberts is an outstanding author I was quickly able to follow along. I only have about 60 books of hers to read to catch up and honestly will definitely want to.

This was a fast paced police procedural that features the intelligent and tough Lt. Eve Dallas. Eve is tasked to bring down a sadistic cult that uses women as objects and breeders. It may be years in the future but sadly the same horrific things happen that you would hope would be gone by this time.

It was fast paced and had a gripping plot. Her relationship with her husband Roarke intrigued me and I will go bacl to the first book in this series to learn about them.

I highly recommend this riveting and at times brutally honest story of greed and warped prejudice that the lieutenant relentlessly attempts to destoy. Amazing Series.

Special thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book for my reading pleasure.

What starts off as a seemingly straightforward case of a lover’s quarrel turned deadly quickly spirals into something far darker when Eve and Peabody uncover links to a dangerous cult. As they dig deeper, they find evidence of human trafficking and abuse, pushing Eve and her team to join forces with other agencies to take down a cult leader consumed by a god complex.

It was a fairly good read.

Another good mystery. Eve and the crew start to investigate a murder and end up with human tracking, rape, torture and more murder. They are after a misogynistic man who is hiding behind his so-called religion. He is also hiding behind some tall fences and gates, but Eve is just the one to bring him out. There are so many cases that are linked together, and Eve has to pull many agencies together to pull it all off. Will she be able to save the women and children?

J. D. Robb brings us back into Eve's world as she tackles another case. This time, Eve finds herself at what looks like a crime of passion between lovers. When she starts investigating, she finds more out that there is more than meets the eye. The woman, who called it in from the other end of the city, has a story filled with regret and tears that don't quite ring true for Eve. When they start finding slivers of cracks in her story, they wonder what else she has to hide. As they delve further into this case, Eve finds more than just a quarrel between two lovers, but an organization of powerful people who will stop at nothing to keep their image of love and acceptance intact. Will Eve and her team be able to solve this one even if it takes more than just the city of New York's finest?

J. D. Robb brings us back to Eve and her people. It is always like visiting old friends every time I read one of her books in this series. It is nice catching up with everyone and seeing where they are and what they are up to at this point in their lives. I think it is good to read the series from the beginning so that the readers understand the journey these characters took to get here, but it is not pertinent to enjoy her stories. I always enjoy the relationships between the characters and love following them as they get their clues and piece them together. I love how each character brings their own personality and expertise to each case and how they have all become part of Eve's family. I always look forward to reading more from this author.

I have received and read and advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I would like to thank NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for this privilege.

I'm glad I tried these books out to expand my personal boundaries, but I think I will go back to cozy mysteries afterwards.
