The year is 2056. mood-altering drugs are legal, prostitution is licensed, virtual-reality games have replaced TV sets for entertainment and New York supercop Eve Dallas continues her sleuthing in Robb's fourth installment in the Death series (Naked in Death, Glory in Death, etc.). This time around, Eve has married her soul mate, Roarke, and is caught up in the puzzling suicide of a technician who's been working on Roarke's unfinished space resort. The young tech, Eve learns, had cheerfully hanged himself after a VR trip. Back on Earth, autopsies from two similar suicides reveal a pin-sized burn on the brains of the victims. All clues point to a deadly subliminal message in a VR toy?one that Roarke produces. This is sexy, gritty, richly imagined suspense. The fact that it is written by Nora Roberts under the pseudonym J.D. Robb is a tribute to her versatility. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. “Sexy, gritty, richly imagined suspense.”—Publishers WeeklyMore Praise for the In Death series “Robb is a virtuoso.”—Seattle Post-Intelligencer “It’s Law & Order: SVU—in the future.”—Entertainment Weekly “J. D. Robb’s In Death novels are can’t-miss pleasures.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben “Anchored by terrific characters, sudden twists that spin the whole narrative on a dime, and a thrills-to-chills ration that will raise the neck hairs of even the most jaded reader, the J. D. Robb books are the epitome of great popular fiction.”—New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane
They died with smiles on their faces. Three apparent suicides: a brilliant engineer, an infamous lawyer, and a controversial politician. Three strangers with nothing in common—and no obvious reasons for killing themselves. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas finds the deaths suspicious. And her instincts pay off when autopsies reveal small burns on the brains of the victims.
Was it a genetic abnormality or a high-tech method of murder? Eve’s investigation turns to the provocative world of virtual reality games—where the same techniques used to create joy and desire can also prompt the mind to become the weapon of its own destruction...
Rapture In Death **This review has a small spoiler for first time reader's **Rapture In Death was overall an installment of the series which I liked enough to have read more than once.**Small spoiler for first time readers. **I was disappointed to find that J.D. Robb lead readers through the wedding prep in book three but, four is fast forward to the honeymoon.**End spoiler. **Maybe because of the honeymoon start the pace of the book is slower than others and, some scenes seemed prolonged for reasons not certain to this reader. This took a little time to become accustomed to this shift.Overall the story itself is well done and, in my view a little creepy. When a unusual death interupted said honeymoon. Anything that doesn't add up for Eve she doesn't easily dismiss.When another unusual death occurs when Eve returns to work ; only Eve sees a connection between the two. Is it the murder she see's or coincidence that people are choosing suicide when self-termination is a legal choice?The ending to this one was one I didn't see coming at all. I would recommend this book to others who like mystery /suspense /romance.One of my favorite In Death Books Rating RGenre: Police ProceduralSub Genre FuturisticSub Genre Romance of established married charactersTriggers: RapeViolence MurderLanguage AdultSexuality M/FPlot centers around mysterious suicides where everyone of the people are overjoyed to end their own lives. This is the forth In Death book centering around Eve Dallas NYPSD Homicide Lieutenant. The book starts with both Eve and Roarke on their honeymoon. The sex and romance between the two always sizzle, and this is because the characters that Robb write have passion. Passion is the corner stone of these books not just passion of a sexual nature, but passion to find the perpetrators of the crimes. The character of Eve is like a very tight flower blossom that has never opened for anything but her job. The blossom that is Eve opened for one thing, her job, being a great cop. Then would close up tight again, she was standoffish even to the two people closest to her, her former partner Feeney and Mavis. Eve, since meeting her now husband Roarke, is learning to be a full bloom of a flower not closing up when not on the job, not being standoffish with people. The character Roarke won't accept anything less and because of this Eve blooms.In this book Peabody, Officer Delilah, is attached full time the Dallas. Which opens Eve up further.Mavis again in given a lot of book time and I personally adore her. I adore all the characters in this book.Also Dr. Mira is given more book time too.The book's plot centers around mind control and it is a very wickedly good read.About the forth book in this never ending series and it holds up as well at past and future novels. Great story tell Robb, she. I’ve not read all the books in this series yet but am getting pretty close. Having read the reviews written on most of the books in this series by J.D. Robb, aka Nora Roberts, it becomes quite clear quite quickly that people either love or hate these books. And when you think about it that is the way it should be. What a boring reading life we would all have it all of our tastes were the same...ugh!Now I am on of those that are a big fan of these books where are futuristic (just a bit) detective/police procedural books with a touch of romance thrown in from time to time. This work is not all that different from other J.S. Robb offerings.This one deals with mind control via music/computer games. It is not as grizzly as other books in the series but murder there is never-the less. People are forced to do things such as leaping off of tall buildings or hanging themselves or – in the case of Eve and Roarke, somewhat change their sexual encounters – an not all for the good.Even though this is only about the third or fourth book in this series we have all my favorite characters playing their usual role; Eve, Peabody, McNab, Roarke Mavis, Leonardo and yes, one of my favorites, Galahad, and a host of others readers who follow these stories will be quite familiar with. There is of course some new characters introduced cause hey; you have to have a bad guy or girls – right?The book begins with Eve and Roarke returning form the honeymoon where on their return visit at a space station they encounter the first victim – an apparent suicide.While this story does not move as fast as some of the others I have read in this series it is never-the-less still a stellar read and one that I more or less read non-stop from cover to cover – Being retired I can do stuff like that because the dogs in my lap could care less if I am sleeping or reading or just staring into space.
