#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR: Sorry for the late post! Ch.11-15: Still convinced there is a connection between the suicides, Eve is even more certain once she comes face to face with a woman who kills herself right in front of her. Eve knows this woman was somehow coerced and begins to worry that it‘s a VR unit that Roarke manufactured that is the culprit. But how can such a thing be possible? ⬇️

StayCurious When she asks Roarke he has no idea if it can be done but insists he didn‘t do this. So who did? At Mavis‘ big party, Roarke gets coerced into hurting Eve, something he would never do in his right mind - it rings too true to the suicides. Eve realizes it was Jess and his music console that were behind what happened to Roarke. And both she and Roarke want blood. We don‘t know exactly what Roarke does to Jess behind closed doors. ⬇️ 1d

StayCurious I doubt we want to know. We see a dark part of Roark that he mostly keeps hidden. But can Eve pin the murders on Jess? (edited) 1d

Librarybelle Yeah…we probably don‘t want to know what Roarke did! 1d

LiseWorks Considering what Roarke went through with his Dad and what he had to do living in the streets in Ireland, i think we know what he did before. But somehow, I don't think Jess is the mastermind behind this. 1d

willaful I think Jess is too obvious. Someone is using him, maybe.

That was a really disturbing scene. I find it hard to believe Eve wouldn't have been a lot more upset than she was, especially with her history.

Also not loving the cops covering for each other. Hits too close to home. 1d

CatLass007 @willaful I also found Eve‘s reaction to being sexually assaulted in a closet by her own husband unbelievable. If Roarke was influenced by Jess, is it possible that Eve was influenced by Jess also? 1d

#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR #ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 The fourth book in the Eve Dallas series is the most enjoyable I‘ve read so far. The technology to exert control over the minds of others? Terrifying. And completely believable that it will be attempted by someone or someones.

Rapture in Death | Nora Roberts, J. D. Robb

#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR: Ch.6-10: Eve continues working the case and starts to wonder if there is a connection between Fitzhugh and Mathias, and another apparent suicide of a senator. The cases don‘t seem to have anything in common but Eve senses something in her gut and can‘t turn away.⬇️

StayCurious We meet Jess Barrow who clearly wants Roarke to invest in his musical toy. There‘s also an allusion to him being able to control the actions of Eve and Roarke, make them turned on so they can‘t keep their hands off each other. Creepy. And then he doctors a demo disk of Mavis and is that the reason Eve tumbles into another nightmare?We find out that Mathias and the senator also have that strange burn on the brain…what could have caused this anomaly (edited) 1w

ShananigansReads Sorry I don‘t have anything constructive to add, I haven‘t read a single page this mind. I should probably take this week to catch up. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ 1w

LiseWorks I found myself laughing out loud when Peabody melted when she saw Roarke coming from the shower. Oh my! Also, something is up with Jessie Barrel. What is he up to! 1w

TheAromaofBooks Jess is such a creep!! I'm really intrigued to find out more about this “brain mark“ - I feel like Robb is really starting to lean into the futuristic aspect of the world-building by creating a story/murder method that wouldn't be a possibility earlier in time, if that makes sense haha 1w

willaful @TheAromaofBooks Yes, I had the same thought. 1w

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong @LiseWorks Book4: Ch.1-5: Eve and Roarke are on their ultra-rich honeymoon (not jealous at all) on Roarke‘s space resort, when they are interrupted by what appears to be a suicide. A young man has hanged himself with no explanation. Eve tries to put it aside as she returns home and gets back to work. ⬇️

StayCurious With Peabody now as her aide, they run across another suicide - or is it murder? Eve doesn‘t buy that the smug, arrogant lawyer she dealt with in court many times would kill himself. And then, the ME discovers something strange: a burn on the brain. What could have caused that? ⬇️ 2w

StayCurious Meanwhile, Eve meets two scientists that work for Roarke, and she starts to realize that she‘s going to have to up her social game when it comes to being Roarke‘s wife. And Mavis has a new backer for her music-someone named Jess Barrow. Is he scamming Mavis or is he the real deal? We are getting to know Peabody more, her background, and she‘s starting to be more comfortable with Eve. (edited) 2w

willaful @TheAromaofBooks I had to give up on the audiobooks because I was so irked by how Peabody was voiced! 2w

ShananigansReads Weeks later I‘ve finally caught up and I‘m very suspicious of Jess but if the past hold out it means I‘m wrong and he‘s the real deal. Lol 6d

#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR Our next book is book 4 in the series and, like last month, we will aim to do 5 chapters a week, with mini discussions on Sundays, and final discussion on April 28th. We felt that pace worked well. From memory, this one deals again with hard topics so take care to look at the triggers beforehand. I‘m so enjoying our journey and look forward to your thoughts on Rapture in Death!

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong I really enjoyed this contribution to the series. What‘s interesting is I read that this series was originally meant to be a trilogy. It would have ended with the wedding! Instead we‘re up to…what, book 65 or something?? I can‘t wait to see what further growth the characters have and who else joins this crazy cast of characters. A few points to discuss are in the comments:

StayCurious Summerset has a layered and tragic past. Do we think his dislike of Eve stems from the fact that she‘s a cop or from the fact that he could lose a part of Roarke to her? 3w

StayCurious Eve has a select number of friends that are like family to her. We see how protective she became of Mavis. Do you think if she had to she would have skirted the law and hidden Mavis away using Roarke‘s power? Or would she have stuck by her badge to the end? 3w

StayCurious Peabody was sorely used in this book by the killer. How do you think she‘ll handle that so early in her career? 3w

StayCurious Immortality and youth is something that so many people crave, even, it seems, in this futuristic world. Do you think humans should have a finite time on earth? Would you take the drug immortality if you were offered its benefits? 3w

StayCurious @Librarybelle @willaful @ShananigansReads @Gissy @AileenRR @Read4life @TheAromaofBooks @MrsV @CoverToCoverGirl @CatLass007 @LiseWorks 3w

ShananigansReads @StayCurious I think she would have stuck by the badge. In a way she is the badge and Roarke is helping her figure out she is more than that. But I also think not being able to save Mavis would have broken her in a new and terrible way. 3w

MrsV I think Summerset‘s dislike is because Eve is a cop, but with him knowing her past, I think he‘ll soften a bit towards her. Eve, I feel would have begrudgingly stuck by the badge with Mavis, and I agree it would have gutted her to do so. (edited) 3w

Librarybelle I would not take Immortality…it seems the risks outweigh the benefits, if benefits is the right word. I‘d like to think Summerset will thaw over the series. He did have that moment when Eve remembered. As to Mavis, whatever decision Eve would have to make to protect Mavis if she had to skirt the law would be detrimental to Eve. I am so loving this series!! 3w

willaful !t's so wild that it was supposed to be just three. Though TBH, I think it's gone on way too long!

Summerset shows he has a good heart here. I suspect their relationship will stay pretty much the same but with less real heat under it.

I don't know what Eve would've done. She's shown a willingness to bypass the rules in favor of justice, and letting Mavis take the fall would certainly not be justice. But it would break her either way. 3w

ShananigansReads @StayCurious I‘d pass on immortality. 3w

willaful I do believe in a finite time on earth, but then of course I have no choice. Maybe I would feel differently if I did. Certainly I am loathing getting old and facing mortality. 🤬

Poor Peabody. I suspect it will toughen her up but I hope Eve keeps her from feeling like a bad cop. I think she knew all along that he wasn't super interested in her and she wasn't that invested, so that should help. 3w

StayCurious @willaful I suppose we‘ll see if she keeps covering the same ground or if she keeps it fresh. She has said she‘s not ready to say goodbye to the characters yet - and I guess her publishers bow to her wishes. She is Nora after all haha (edited) 3w

LiseWorks I don't think Eve would have broken the law to save Mavis, but she would keep trying to help her. I think Summersett has a thing against all cops that is why he distrust her. And that has to do with his daughter. Roarke found who killed her and dealt with it. I am glad Roberts kept writing this series. I am not for immortality. 3w

TheAromaofBooks That's really interesting about this originally being a trilogy. I can see that now that you say it, because a lot of threads did feel like they got tidied up. I'm interested to see where these characters go next!! I really loved Peabody in this book and felt so bad for her. Casto felt smarmy to me from the beginning because of the way he was flirting with both women. 😑 3w

Read as #InDeathLongReadathon. It was good to see the characters grow. I see Eve and Roarke totally different in the second time reading this series. I am happy I decided to re read this series @StayCurious Come and join us for the next one in the series.
