#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Book 16: Ch.16-end: Roarke going to see his mom‘s sister was emotional. He was welcomed as family by people he never knew. When Eve went to Ireland, it sure made Roarke‘s day - He now has a Family that he can share with his new family 🥺 he should have brought Eve with him in the first place. They need each other. I enjoyed the case as well but I was often more interested in Roarke and what he was going through.

LiseWorks Same here! 1mo
TheAromaofBooks I really liked the way that Roarke was the one who had to be reminded of the importance of him and Eve being a team. It feels like in past books Eve is always the one struggling with that aspect, but here she gets to be the one who takes care of Roarke and I enjoyed seeing them find that balance. 1mo
Ddzmini Really enjoyed this book in the series can‘t wait to start the next book 1mo

This one was intense. It's also funny in some spots but also had family and marriage being very important. I think as we go through the series, they seem to get better and better. Thanks to my co-host for posting all those meems. #InDeathLongReadathon @StayCurious

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Book 16: Ch.11-15: It‘s so strange to see Roarke lose control. I don‘t know - have we seen him drunk before? Maybe tipsy but I don‘t think drunk. Poor guy. His past always hits him like a ton of bricks. Eve is used to him taking care of her - we see a role reversal in this book. I‘m less interested in the case than in the personal aspects this time. But despite being distracted Eve is still coming closer to the killer.

LiseWorks I love to see Eve in this role. She also has to deal with Summersett. Loved the Trina treat for Summersett 1mo
Ddzmini I agree with being more interested in how Eve and Roarke are handling their problems… but the case is definitely interesting 1mo
LitStephanie The banter with Peabody, McNab, and Dallas is fun. It is interesting how Dallas likes Hastings--maybe because she sees a bit of herself in him? Both are bossy, tactless, and rude. He is just much more extreme. I think the killer is either the naked model lady or Angie, so we can rule thd 1mo
LitStephanie rule them out since I am always wrong with this series! 1mo

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Book 16 Ch.6-10: Poor Roarke. He never handles his past well (and can you blame him?) but he should not shut Eve out. She won‘t stand for that. I‘m glad she‘s planning to get to the bottom of what‘s bothering him or kick his ass trying. The case is interesting and there are a lot of interesting characters Eve comes across. ⬇️

StayCurious There is another victim and Eve has to work the case without allowing her personal life to get in the way. Good luck with that. 2mo
LiseWorks I felt bad for Roarke. All of a sudden, he finds put that maybe his mom didn't walk away 2mo
Ddzmini The part about Roarke‘s mom hit hard and the way he and Eve handled that was so touching ❤️‍🩹 2mo
LitStephanie Eve reacts exactly like me when presented with a friend's ultrasound fetus pictures. 😆 2mo

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Book 16: Ch.1-5: Eve starts off the book in a happy mood b/c Summerset, her nemesis, is heading away for vacation. Unfortunately his plans get derailed by a broken leg and Roarke is faced with Summerset‘s fragility in a way. Eve gets tipped to a murder by Nadine and finds a young college student as the victim. ⬇️

StayCurious Eve starts delving into the victim‘s life which causes her to think about her own. Peabody is thinking of moving in with Mcnab. Are they ready for that big step? 2mo

LitStephanie graduate assistantship myself, I am here to tell you that there are no English Lit TAs "racking up girls like pool balls. That is NOT a thing. ??? 2mo
LitStephanie Eve's joy about the coming absense of Summerset is pretty funny, as is her ongoing horror over Mcnab winning over her sensible aide. I like the comic relief. 2mo
LiseWorks I actually felt bad for the cat. I know he didn't mean to be on the way, but sometimes they just are. I found Eve so funny with Peabody discussion of McNabb moving in, etc. And Eve being scared of Trish. 2mo
TheAromaofBooks I kind of loved the little showdown between Eve and Nadine. The two of them are actually really similar in a lot of ways, but have chosen different paths. Good to see that McNabb has fully recovered from his serious injuries in the last book!! 2mo
Ddzmini I enjoyed the way this one started out with some joy… until Galahad tripped Summerset and caused trouble… then Eve gets a call from Nadine so she can‘t stay and help Roarke with Summerset‘s fall… but finding a body in a trash compactor that‘s sad 😔 (edited) 2mo

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Book 16 - Our next read is set to start this week (sorry for the quick turnaround). We‘ll check in on Sunday Sept 7. As we get deeper into the series we‘re getting to know and love these characters- including her fun cast of side characters. I always want to know more about what‘s happening with everyone in this universe.

TheAromaofBooks I really love the pace at which we're reading this series. Five chapters a week is pretty perfect - I love pretty much always having some Eve and Roarke on the go!! 2mo
LitStephanie Starting this one right now! Can't wait to be a part of the discussion. 2mo

My January #ReadOrDonate book has been on my shelves for YEARS.
It‘s also a book I packed before we left for the V.I in October so it made my decision very easy for me. 😉

So, I was about 1/3 into this one this morning, and it just stopped working. When I try to restart it, I get this pop-up. I waited a few hours, and it's still not working, and Google doesn't show anything for this error 201 (which I'm starting to think is that Scribd thinks I've used too many books this month). Anyone experienced this before?

Suet624 What a bummer. Sorry I have no info for you. 5y
Megabooks I‘m not sure, but that sucks! 5y
tracy.anne8 I have. It usually goes away at some point but I have had to wait a few days for it to resolve. I'm not entirely sure why it happens though. 5y

Final book for 2020!

I usually enjoy the books from the series, and there were some nice moments of banter between Dallas and Peabody. 4🌟

76 points (book, post, & 3 hours of reading)

This one didn't suck me in as this series usually does, though that may also have had to do with the mood I'm in. The Roarke bits were the best part (and not just *those* bits. Ha!). But bonus - it was forecasted to rain all day and didn't! 🌤

I really love the In Death series by JD Robb, even though I am miserably behind! I just finished number 16 tonight and as usual it was just as good as the others. I‘ve been addicted since the very first novel.
