Aussie Lovers of Crime/Mystery/Thriller/Suspense discussion

My absolute all time favourite series is the In Death series by J.D. Robb. I started with a random title, not realizing it was a series, and have since started at the beginning, with Naked in Death and I'm now up to #13! I'm not re-reading the ones I've read, as there are 34 so far in the series, but when I've finished them all I MIGHT start at the beginning again;)

I've not read anything this series, but maybe I should

She is Nora Roberts in her other life;) She amazes me with her totally different styles of writing...

I know, I'm surprised how many books she's written

I love the series too though I am a few behind now :)

My absolute favourite thing about Nora Roberts is that she also wrote a "collaboration" with J.D. Robb. This seems schizophrenic in the extreme.

I'm quite a long way behind, but that's ok, I dread finishing them, as they are always there when I feel like picking one up!!

Haha!! Yes, I saw that!

The 'in death' series is an awesome one! Unfortunately my library only has a few... So buying them ii s easier! Lol read about half of them so far.

I started them from the library, and love them so much, I'm in the process of buying the whole series, and reading from the beginning...I'm up to #26 now, and reading the ones I hadn't read up until the latest:)

I finished today. Brilliant! I have only two to go until the end of the series, and the new one comes out in March:)

Have any fans picked up her latest? I got my copy last week:)

I just found this thread and it looks like I've just found another author to add to my list. And I see she has quite a few books which all sound very good :)

Oh Sharon! I love, love, love the In Death series!!! lol I'm hanging out for her new one at the moment, Concealed in Death :)

It's good if you can read them in order too, so if you're able, start with #1 Naked in Death. I actually was able to get the first three in a set from Book Depository too:)

That's good to know I was wondering if you had to start with #1. Although it's probably always better to start any series that way you can keep track of them better. Well that's my opinion :) Thanks.

I actually read a random book somewhere in the series on recommendation from my library lady; completely loved it and read a couple more, still randomly. I then decided I wanted to own the whole lot so began buying them - and also began reading from number 1 as well:) I'm all caught up now, even though I've been reading them slowly so I wouldn't finish them! lol

They are a delight, a pleasure, and I always know I'll enjoy them:)

Well I hope you enjoy her latest one when it comes out. I see that it's out this month so you won't have long to wait :)

I know, I'm already checking Big W's shelves;)

Lol I couldn't imagine you doing that;)

LOL

Absolutely loved Concealed in Death! Here's my review for those who're interested:)

Just started this series with the first book Listened to it on Audible. Loved Roarke's sexy Irish accent. I'm hooked.

Good on you Anastasia! It's a brilliant series!!

Will this series appeal to male readers? As there are heaps of titles to keep me in reading for a long time.

If you don't mind a little romance mixed with your suspense and mystery, yes definitely Stephen :)

My husband enjoys this series as much as I do Stephen so I would say yes.

My daughter has them all so I will give the first one a try after Void.
I think it is "Naked in Death"
Thanks for the reccomendation

Are you enjoying Void Stephen? We'd love you to comment in the threads and if you have any questions for the author, he'll be around this month to answer them :)

Enjoy the In Death series :)

Just started so give me a few days to get into it

No worries :) Enjoy!

In a few days I'll be starting the latest In Death - Apprentice in Death - can't wait!

Has anyone else read it yet? Or about to?

Sitting on the bedside table, next cab off the rank :)

Mine is in an October challenge so won't be too much longer either :)

I read all the books in this series. Five stars. Roarke can put his shoes under my bed anytime! It is great to have a strong female character.

You are all so restrained. I read it when it came out:) This is what I thought about it (no spoilers)

I agree with you, Phrynne!

FINALLY I’ve started this series. Half way through Naked in Death and I can’t put it down. Think I’ll finish this tonight 😊

Haven't you got SO much to look forward to Sharon! An excellent series - happy reading :)

Started this series in 2016. I enjoy it but have not made much headway in it. Only up to book #5.

Thanks Brenda. Finished the first book and I absolutely loved it. Already requested the second one from the library, even though I’ve got other books to read 😊

I can understand that completely Sharon :)
