Naked In Death (In Death, #1)

I read this book so, so long ago but I remember that it wasn't the first In Death book that I read. When I first found this series, there were already about a dozen books out in the series, so I picked up copies as they became available. I did this until I realized I was missing the build up of the characters and their relationships, and decided to go back to the first story and begin there and read them in order. I will say that while Eve, Roarke and the In Death series is one of my favorite series and I jump on each on of the books which are released, I don't know how I would have reacted to this series, if I had read Naked in Death first. As far as investigative/crime drama, it is just okay and for a scifi story, it involves death by gunshot which in the future is unheard of but pretty damned average for us.

If you are new to the series, keep in mind that everything about this series gets sooo much better as the series progresses. It is filled with great characters who develop over the series and the scifi aspect comes in often but not always which just proves that man has been killing man for anything from a rock to a stick to a gun and we don't need lasers to do it.

There are currently 51 novels plus a bunch of short stories in this series so I can honestly say that aren't all amazing but the majority are great crime drama, added in the characters, the romance and the scifi and it is ranks at the top of my favorite series.
