The Neverending Saga: How Many Eve Dallas Books Are There Really?
Ah, Eve Dallas. The fiery, caffeine-fueled Lieutenant of the NYPD in a future New York City that's equal parts glamorous and gritty. If you've dived into the world of J.D. Robb's "In Death" series, you know you're in for a wild ride of murder, mayhem, and a whole lot of sexual tension with her billionaire husband, Roarke. But here's the question that plagues every single In Death fan at some point: just how many darn books are there?
How Many Eve Dallas Books Are There |
Buckle Up, Buttercup, It's a Long Ride
The official answer, as of May 2024, is a staggering 60 books and counting. J.D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts, the queen of romance herself) shows no signs of slowing down. This series is like a literary Energizer Bunny – it just keeps going and going and… well, you get the idea.
QuickTip: Slowing down makes content clearer.
Here's the Catch (There's Always a Catch)
While 60 books is a number that might make your Kindle clutch its metaphorical pearls, here's the good news: you don't necessarily have to read them all in order. Each book features a new case for Eve to crack, so you can jump in pretty much anywhere. Of course, if you're a completionist and the idea of starting a series without knowing the ending gives you hives, then by all means, dive in from the beginning with "Naked in Death." Just be prepared to settle in for the long haul – it's a marathon, not a sprint.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
Pro Tip: Don't Fear the Spoilers (Because Seriously, There Are SO MANY BOOKS)
Look, with 60 books, some spoilers are inevitable. Your best friend might accidentally blurt out a major plot point from book 27 while you're still on book 3. Don't sweat it! The true joy of the In Death series is the journey, the witty banter between Eve and Roarke, and the way the characters evolve over time. A little spoiler here or there won't ruin the ride.
Tip: Use the structure of the text to guide you.
So, Should You Dive into the In Death Series?
Absolutely! If you're looking for a fun, fast-paced series with a strong female lead, a swoon-worthy romance, and enough murder mysteries to keep you guessing for weeks, then the In Death series is for you. Just be prepared to be sucked into a world where the book count is higher than the floor number in Roarke's penthouse.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
