Today’s Kindle Daily Deal is the first eight JD Robb books, aka the In Death series, for $1.99! It’s not price matched as of yet, but my fingers are crossed. As of right now, the price is only valid at Amazon, but I’m hoping it’s matched some time today, so I’m leaving the other links up.
Naked in Death, the book that introduced Eve and Roarke, is $1.99. If you’ve never read this series, this is a terrific opportunity to start. The series is a unique combination romantic suspense and futuristic thriller – it’s set in New York in 2058. And it introduced one of the most-beloved heroes in romance.
In a world of danger and deception, she walks the line–between seductive passion and scandalous murder… Eve Dallas is a New York police lieutenant hunting for a ruthless killer.
In over ten years on the force, she’s seen it all–and knows her survival depends on her instincts. And she’s going against every warning telling her not to get involved with Roarke, an Irish billionaire–and a suspect in Eve’s murder investigation.
But passion and seduction have rules of their own, and it’s up to Eve to take a chance in the arms of a man she knows nothing about–except the addictive hunger of needing his touch.

Glory in Death, book 2, is $1.99 at most vendors. Look, it’s a 38 book series and the next one is coming out in February. If you start now, and, you know, don’t go to work or leave the house, you can read the whole thing!
The first victim was found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The second was murdered in her own apartment building.
Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas had no problem finding connections between the two crimes. Both victims were beautiful and highly successful women. Their glamorous lives and loves were the talk of the city.
And their intimate relations with men of great power and wealth provided Eve with a long list of suspects–including her own lover, Roarke. As a woman, Eve was compelled to trust the man who shared her bed.
But as a cop, it was her job to follow every lead..to explore every secret passion, no matter how dark. Or how dangerous.

Immortal in Death is book 3. This series is interesting for many reasons – including featuring the developing relationship of Eve and Roarke through 38 (thousand – kidding!) books. It’s a study in careful character development and revelation.
She was one of the most sought-after women in the world. A top model who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted — even another woman’s man. And now she was dead, the victim of a brutal murder.
Police lieutenant Eve Dallas put her professional life on the line to take the case when suspicion fell on her best friend, the other woman in the fatal love triangle.
Beneath the facade of glamour, Eve found that the world of high fashion thrived on an all-consuming passion for youth and fame. One that led from the runway to the dark underworld of New York City where drugs could fulfill any desire — for a price . . .

Rapture in Death is book 4. All of the six on sale and the rest in the series have 4+ star review averages, and are popular with romance and mystery fans alike. This series has a huge and varied appeal to different readers.
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 found the deaths suspicious. And her instincts paid off when autopsies revealed small burns on the brains of the victims. Was it a genetic abnormality or a high-tech method of murder?
Eve’s investigation turned to the provocative world of virtual reality games–where the same techniques used to create joy and desire could also prompt the mind to become the weapon of its own destruction…

Ceremony in Death is book 5, and it’s $1.99 today only. One of my favorite parts of the series are the inventions and conveniences that are part of life in futuristic NYC.

But when a dead body is placed outside her home, Eve takes the warning personally. With her husband, Roarke, watching her every move, Eve is drawn into the most dangerous case of her career.

Vengeance in Death is book 6, and is $1.99 today. Are you creating a digital collection to go with your hard copies, or are you starting the series for the first time?

Police lieutenant Eve Dallas found the first victim butchered in his own home. The second lost his life in a vacant luxury apartment.
The two men had little in common. Both suffered unspeakable torture before their deaths. And both had ties to an ugly secret of ten years past–a secret shared by none other than Eve’s new husband, Roarke.

Holiday in Death is $1.99, and is book 7. I wonder if there are challenges where semi-intoxicated readers dare one another to name all the In Death books in order as fast as possible?
No one likes to be alone during the holidays. For New York’s most posh dating service, Personally Yours, it is the season to bring lonely hearts together.
But Lieutenant Eve Dallas, on the trail of a ritualistic serial killer, has made a disturbing discovery: all of the victims have been traced to Personally Yours.
As the murders continue, Eve enters into an elite world of people searching for their one true love–and a killer searching for his next victim. A world where the power of love leads men and women into the ultimate act of betrayal…

Conspiracy in Death is $1.99 and the last of the In Death books on sale right now. You could get all 8 for a little over $16 (depending on the taxes in your area) – that would make a terrific gift for someone you know, especially if they were just given an e-reader for the holidays.
Streetwise cop Eve Dallas and her trusty sidekick Peabody face a methodical killer in this latest addition to the In Death series by J.D. Robb, better known as the bestselling author Nora Roberts.
In the late 21st century, on the streets of New York City, a street sleeper is found murdered, his diseased heart removed with surgical precision. His death would typically drop to the bottom of a list of senseless and inexplicable killings, but Lieutenant Dallas, who “would stand for the dead and the living,” is not about to let that happen.
When her research uncovers similar crimes in several cities that were dropped under mysterious circumstances, Dallas knows she’s facing a killer cruel enough to prey on the weakest in society and powerful enough to conspire an extensive coverup.
To complicate matters further, Dallas faces an equally troubling threat to her career when she’s linked to the death of a fellow cop. Now she must fight to restore her good name as well as track down the killer.
Great buys!
The audiobooks narrrated by Susan Erikssen are awesome and cost only $ 0.99 after you buy the Kindle ebook.
Gah, I missed these! And it’s super annoying that the full price Kindle editions (for these early books) are more expensive than the mass-market paperbacks. What is up with that?
