In Death Series by J.D. Robb
This is a lens about the "In Death" book series by J.D. Robb.
It's one of my favorites but I always find that I can't remember the name of the last one I read so I'm not always sure I need to buy a particular one.
So here is a list of all the books in the series, arranged in chronological order regarding when events happened (rather than when they were released).
Contents at a Glance
In Death at a Glance
Here's the skinny on the series
The ?in Death series, written by Nora Roberts under her pseudonym J. D. Robb, features NYPSD ('New York City Police and Security Department') Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her husband Roarke and is set in a mid-21st century New York City. The stories also regularly feature other characters, including Captain Ryan Feeney, Detective Delia Peabody, Detective Ian McNab and Dr. Charlotte Mira.
The series is ongoing and will go on as long as Roberts desires to write it; however, she has famously stated that the series will never contain one of Eve and Roarke's children, as the series will end with Eve's eventual pregnancy - which is nowhere in sight at the current count.
