Another great book in the In Death series by J.D. Robb. This latest book reveals more about Summer set as people from his past are involved in Eve's current case. I absolutely love these books due to the characters and plotlines, long may the series continue!

Book 60 in this series.
I've been reading this series for 18 years now and enjoy them as much as the first.
I love all the different characters and relationships.
Absolutely 5 stars

I wasn’t aware of the In Death series by J.D. Robb (a pseudonym for Nora Roberts) before reading Bonded in Death, the 60th in the series. Now I am absolutely hooked and can’t wait to start from the beginning.
This was a five-star read for me – clever, fascinating, brilliantly plotted and intriguing. It was also packed with memorable characters. I adored the sassy, smart Lt Eve Dallas and her mysterious husband, Roarke.
I also loved the taut almost staccato writing style which added suspense and pace to a great story, as well as the humour. Unusually for me, I enjoyed the sci fi aspect – who wouldn’t love to simply programme a ham on rye sandwich with hot mustard on one’s an AutoChef?
Recommended!

Another brilliant instalment in the Eve Dallas thrillers! I loved seeing the twists and turns in this newest addition, it was utterly addictive from the first page to the very last! If you enjoyed the others in the series, you will love this continuation! Fast paced and gritty, with appearances from all our favourite cast members, this was a perfect addition to an amazing series of books’

Enjoyable and engrossing characters. Written well. More please. Thank you Netgalley, publisher and author for the ARC. 5/5

As a longtime fan of the In Death series, who has read every book since Book 1, I was so excited to dive into Bonded in Death, and it did not disappoint!
The story starts with the murder of Giovanni Rossi, a former member of The Twelve, a secretive group from the Urban Wars era. Eve gets pulled into the case, and in the process, we learn more about Summerset’s connections to this hidden world. I loved how this added a new layer to his character and his dynamic with Eve and Roarke. The story kept me hooked the whole time.
There were plenty of twists, great banter, and of course, all the elements that make this series so addictive. If you’re a fan, you’re going to love this one!
I couldn’t put this book down. Definitely another fantastic addition to the series!
I was given an ARC by NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I'm a long time fan of Eve Dallas, so this was an auto-read for me. I actually enjoyed it more than I expected - I don't usually like mysteries that come out of people's dim and distant pasts but this one kept enough of a pace that it swept me along. Interesting to see the struggles of the Urban Wars crowd to defer to Eve on this one, now I'm a bit older myself I feel their pain (not that I ever had the energy levels of this lot!!).
Well paced, I enjoyed this offering more than the last couple. Here's to the next one!

Took me a little while to get into this book, unlike the others I have read by J D Robb. But once I got into the main story, I could barely put it down. Great to learn more of the back story on Summerset and get to know him a bit more. Hopefully we will meet his friends again in other books. Having listened to some of these books on audible, I now have their voices in my head when reading the books. Roll on the next book in the series

60 books in and this is my first time to read the Death series a lot of catching up to do. A fast paced novel with good characters. An Italian man arrives in New York and is found dead in the car that picked him up, Eve Dallas and her husband and partner investgate. A good read that kept me hooked. Thanks to Little Brown books and Netgalley for this review ARC

Number 60 of the In Death series and once again Dallas, with the help of Roarke and Peabody, solve a murder that links back to Summersets days as a secret operative during the Urban war. In this episode of their story, Dallas learns more about Summerset's life before he met Roarke and where he developed some of his skills.
To protect Summerset and his friends Dallas will take on someone hell bent on revenge no matter what damage they do to those around them. In fact they might enjoy that.
I loved revisiting some of my favourite characters but didn’t feel this book advanced the ongoing life stories very much. I also enjoyed the fact that Dallas and Roarke didn’t let their problems lead to an argument, they really are getting better at this marriage lark.

Book 60, I cant believe we are at 60 books and still going strong, they are so well written and the characters are so likable, this was so different to the others, it focussed on one character and murder, the other characters we have never met before were strong and well described, this story just unraveled beautifully, looking forward to number 61 and more

This is JD Robb back to her very best in this latest Eve Dallas murder/mystery. An Italian gentleman is lured to New York in response to a request from a longstanding colleague to whom he's sworn an oath. On arrival he's met by a limo and driver and subsequently discovered dead in the vehicle of unknown causes. Dallas/Peabody are immediately assigned the case and uncover a plot stretching back to the urban wars using weaponry dating back to their period. This book is cleverly written and gripping. Read it in one sitting as I couldn't put it down.

What a fantastic book. The back story of summerset and his exploits in the urban wars.
Targeted by one of his group. Defended by Eve and her squad.
The romance of getting to know his deceased wife Alice and how they met and fought together.
I always enjoy a JD Robb book but this was exceptional and moved me to tears at certain points.

I loved this one. It was an engaging read, and the case was both exciting and suspenseful. This was one of those cases where we knew who did it from the beginning, the suspense lay in how they were ultimately caught. I liked learning more about the Urban Wars, the Twelve, and Summerset's past. The overall storyline was intriguing and engaging. This is the 60th book in the series and I still want to read more, a testament to the author's exceptional writing.

"Bonded In Death" is Book 60 in the "In Death" series. I have read and loved them all, and this one no exception. I absolutely adore the regular characters, and every time I pick up the next book, it feels like meeting up with old friends and discovering what they have been up to. I particularly enjoy reading about the various relationships Eve and all the characters have, and I was especially interested in delving more into Summerset's background and history in this instalment. I flew through this story and cannot wait for the next one.
Thank you to NetGalley and Little, Brown Book Group UK for my ARC.

Enjoyable read as expected from the author :-) I’ve read a few of the books from the ‘In Death’ series, and all of them have been really good.
This book was quite different as it dealt with a lot of history and a terrorist who was ready to gas, bomb and kidnap people just to wage a personal war. Also Summerset has a bigger role as the book delves into his past and his professions and friends.
All in all a very interesting read.
Thank you to the publishers Little, Brown Book Group UK for an advanced copy of this ebook and giving me a chance to review it.

The latest murder that Eve has to investigate is personal to her when someone leaves her card at the crime scene. The murderer thinks he is cleverer than Eve and Roarke which is a big mistake especially when it involves Summersett as much as she dislikes him she will protect him at all costs. As usual a gripping read with all my favourite characters

Wow. A great book that gives us all the answers to the questions about Summerset's past. How his wife died and what he actually did in the Urban Wars.. A complex plot well handled and in great detail
With the help of her trusty team Eve battles through taunts and misleading clues to hunt the murder down. The Twelve, Summersets old team aid her with memories and feelings of the villain back in the day.
Well written and a great read, this book is so different from the previous ones as its does not revolve around Eve but around Summerset and his dark past, that has come back to kill him and his friends.

No. 60 in the Eve Dallas series. I really enjoyed this one. Eve investigates the murder of an elderly Italian who has just arrived in New York. This murder strikes close to home though when she discovers a close link to her family. It also has its roots in the Urban Wars of decades earlier. Eve, her team and her husband Roarke, race to stop more killings especially of someone close to them. This is a fast paced story which drags you in.

An enjoyable trip into the world of Dallas & Rourke. I particularly liked this as it gave more insight into the Urban wars and how they impacted on the present day.
With the entire team on hand to support Dallas when the investigation blooms close to home, this was an intriguing read with Dallas having her prey closer than she might think.
Thoroughly enjoyable escapist romantic crime fiction
