Product Description
From Nora Roberts writing as J. D. Robb comes the second novel in the number-one New York Times-bestselling series starring New York Lieutenant Eve Dallas-now in a special hardcover edition.
It is 2058, New York City. In a world where technology can reveal the darkest of secrets, there's only one place to hide a crime of passion-in the heart.
Even in the mid-twenty-first century, during a time when genetic testing usually weeds out any violent hereditary traits before they can take over, murder still happens. The first victim is found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The second is murdered in her own apartment building. Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas has 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 provide Eve with a long list of suspects-including her own lover, Roarke.

 Decent October 7, 2008
Glory wasn't a bad read, save for some of the "cop talk" that sounded like it was stolen from bad television shows. Roarke was decidedly less creepy in this volume, and that was actually quite nice. The mystery and the romance were okay, but not spectacular. This was a fluff read, and there's nothing wrong with a bit of brain candy sometimes.
 Another great book in the series. August 6, 2008
I have read the first book in the series "Naked In Death", and now have read the second, "Glory In Death". I found "Glory" to be just as good as I found "Naked" to be. Filled with deep characters, fast moving cases, and an interesting sci-fi futuristic backdrop, this series is a winner.
Like some reviewers have already stated, this is a mix of Police Procedural, Romance, and Science Fiction all bundled up into one great series.
Each book you learn more and more about the main characters, and can watch their relationships grow.
I definitely plan on reading all of this series.
I would start with book one and move on from there. That's what I'm doing.
Happy Reading!
 Solid follow-on March 12, 2008
Glory in Death is the second book in J.D. Robb/Nora Roberts's 'in death' series. The series employs a shamelessly over-the-top homicide detective & erotic romance combination to wonderfully fun effect.
On the one hand, the answer to the murder in this novel seemed a bit obvious to me early on; it was telegraphed a little more heavily than usual. On the other hand, Roberts managed to make me doubt my conclusions by throwing a few curve-balls into the mix, and that helped to keep me from feeling the kind of frustration I usually feel when it seems as though the mystery is revealed to the reader too early.
Eve and Roarke's relationship continues and deepens in enjoyable ways. It's still early enough that there are serious conflicts and sparks, but they're turning into a fantastic team. They have wonderful chemistry that brings both romance and sex alive on the page.
In this novel we meet Peabody, who's still in uniform (later in the series she becomes Eve's partner). I'm curious to read the intervening books, because at the moment I'm having trouble reconciling her current somewhat stern demeanor with her later openness and excitability. I'm looking forward to seeing how she changes over time and goes from one to the other.
In short, this isn't the best of the 'in death' novels, but it's definitely an enjoyable read!
Glory in Death February 9, 2008
This entire series is great! The characters are compelling and once started, you can't stop reading. I've read them all now and suggest, if possible, to read them in order since there are references to prior incidents from one to the next.
Exciting February 5, 2008
I love this entire series!!! Kudos to The author. Its not to futuristic where you must spend time trying to figure out new wave lingo. Love it!!!
