Dallas. Eve Dallas.

Love the J.D. Robb books. J. D. Robb is actually a pseudonym for Nora Roberts who is so prolific she has something for me to read every few months or so. This weekend I read "Strangers in Death". This is the most recent of her Eve Dallas series.

Eve Dallas is the "main bitch-cop" of New York. She is Lt. Dallas and nobody better mess with this homicide cop. The series (this is the 26th! book in the series) is set in the future- about 2060 or so- and has Eve trying to find out who killed a prominent businessman and set up the kill to appear to be an accident.

She is a character with very strong motivations and after all this time is still trying to adjust to the wealth of her husband, Roarke. Roarke owns most of the city and many off-world locations as well. He is basically the richest man in the solar system (literally) and Eve doesn't have lunch money because she's used a good chunk of her cop salary for snitches and won't take money from her husband.

This is a very complex character and even though this is the 26th book, it never gets dull. I love every word, every page. Nora Roberts rocks!
