He romances her, breaks through her defenses, and together they form a love couple, crime-stopping team amongst the likes of The Thin Man duo, McMillan & Wife, ´Bones´ and Booth, and Castle and Beckett. Throughout the series, J.D. Robb [companion pen name of Nora Roberts] briefly revisits the nightmare past of Cpt. Eve Dallas soothed with a Roarke who is there to hold and comfort her; then her comfort for him when he finds family out of his own nightmares. The supporting characters are delightfully developed and, seemingly unexpectantly, Dallas, with Roarke´s support, also finds a family.
My recommendation concerning this J.D. Robb [Nora Roberts] ´.... in Death´ book series is not to start here with this book, but to visit Ms. Roberts website, [...], click on the J.D. Robb book list, and start reading the series in chronological order. This is not necessary at all, but I think it is preferable. Ms. Robb [Roberts] has a gift of being able to not only compose characters with depth and imprinted with personalities, strength and foibles that intrigue and envelop a reader which are consistent throughout the series, but also to create sound, convincing story plots and feasible police technique [and squad interworking] as well.
Finally, Ms. Robb´s [Roberts´] abilities allow the reader to sink into the drama, successfully creates the illusion for a reader of having a compatibility with the actors and action, and the truest test of this writer´s skill and the series´ success... You hate to finish the book and immediately look for the publication of the next book.
. And summed up by saying Excellent. Eve Dallas Rocks!. Currently Visions in Death has an overall rating of 8 over 10.

Putnam Adult claimed A brand-new novel in the number-one New York Times-bestselling In Death series set in 2059 New York City. As technology and humanity collide, Detective Eve Dallas searches the darkest corners of Manhattan for an elusive killer with a passion for collecting souls... On one of the city´s hottest nights, New York Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas is sent to Central Park-and into a hellish new investigation. The victim is found on the rocks, just above the still, dark water of the lake. Around her neck is a single red ribbon. Her hands are posed, as if in prayer. But it is the eyes-removed with such precision, as if done with the careful hands of a surgeon-that have Dallas most alarmed. As more bodies turn up, each with the same defining scars, Eve is frantic for answers. Against her instincts, she accepts help from a psychic who offers one vision after another-each with shockingly accurate details of the murders. And when partner and friend Peabody is badly injured after escaping an attack, the stakes are raised. Are the eyes a symbol? A twisted religious ritual? A souvenir? With help from her husband, Roarke, Dallas must uncover the killer´s motivation before another vision becomes another nightmare. . . .
