Promises in Death by JD Robb

Eve Dallas is back! After a couple of duds, Nora Roberts (J.D. Robb) pulls off a good one again.

If you skip over the cheesy, repetitive love scenes between Eve and the impossibly perfect Roarke, this is a tight murder "mystery" with some movement along the larger story arc.

We have a repeat appearance by Max Ricker and some serious development of Morris' character.

I laughed out loud a couple of times and really enjoyed this book. On the plus side, the cover is sedate enough that I feel no shame carrying this on the bus. I'm good for another 2-3 churned out installments now that I have renewed hope that there will be the occasional good story along the series. Luckily, since Roberts produces 2-3 of these books/year, we won't have long to wait for the next book.
