JD Robb - In Death

In Death Series (47 books)

There are 47 primary works and 117 total works in the In Death 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.

Please note: Each book in this series is a whole story with a beginning and an ending, however there may be minor references to events that occurred earlier in the series. Therefore, with respect to the mystery alone, the books can be read out of order, if desired. However, like any long series that focuses on a core group of characters, there are various relationship changes that develop more naturally when the full length novels are read in the order in which they were published.

Eternity in Death (#24.5) was published between Innocent in Death (#24) & Creation in Death (#25). Though Creation in Death & Strangers in Death (#26) are set in March 2060 and Eternity in Death in April 2060.

The audio quality varies from book to book, but all are very listenable.
