THE FIRST NOVEL IN THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING IN DEATH SERIES
It is 2058, New York City. Technology now completely rules the world, but for New York Detective Eve Dallas, one irresistible impulse still rules the heart: passion...
Eve Dallas is a New York police lieutenant hunting for a ruthless killer. In over ten years on the force, she’s seen it all - and knows her survival depends on her instincts. And she’s going against every warning telling her not to get involved with Roarke, an Irish billionaire - and a suspect in Eve’s murder investigation. But passion and seduction have rules of their own, and it’s up to Eve to take a chance in the arms of a man she knows nothing about - except the addictive hunger of needing his touch.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time
The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

During this case she meets a love interest which J.D. Robb intricately weaves into the plot of murder mystery. Two parts CSI/Law and Order with a dash of the Silk Stockings this is a great book for the beach, park or a long weekend because you will be riveted to it.
The narration by Susan Erikson is nearly flawless with a good range of accents, characterizations and an amazing range of emotional inflections. At one point in the reading she reads a scene where a female character is crying and a male character was consoling her and both were done flawlessly.
If I have one complaint the sex scenes in the book are a bit derivative and somewhat distracting from solving of the case. That being said it was an immensely satisfying listen and highly recommended.
Police Procedural with a Dash of Romance

It has some graphic language and adult concepts (prostitution, incest). In a couple scenes Eve's very unpleasant childhood is explored and the author attempts to tie it into the story but it feels forced and is overall an uncomfortable topic.
The romance is mostly okay. At least it's mature and not some teenage drool fest - though in real life nobody is as perfect as Roarke.
The narration is very good, nice accents and no over-dramatization. The voicing of the characters is distinct.
Even blend of romance and detective novel

Not Bad

After book 1, you can skip around the 50+ books for the equivalent of a TV episode… but this is cable TV, with occasional F-bombs and Basic Instinct level violence rather than Murder She Wrote. I enjoy the romance side-action, but wouldn’t call these romance books (in this book, there’s only one full on scene and the rest tends to fade to black). The supporting characters, while tropey, are colorful and fun.
Wait for a sale, but these are great Pringles listens; tasty but not very filling.
Pringles series; book 1 is reverse Basic Instinct

If you could sum up Naked in Death in three words, what would they be?
Emotional, Intriguing, IntelligentWhat was one of the most memorable moments of Naked in Death?
There are many memorable moments and turning-point scenes, but I suppose one of the standout ones for me is the scene where Eve tells Roarke about her childhood and you can just feel the raw emotions, and the pain that she's denied and kept buried. But you can also tell that speaking about it finally is rather cathartic for her and has probably been the start of real healing.What about Susan Ericksen’s performance did you like?
I loved all of the different voices she does for the different characters, the way that she makes each one distinct and the way you can tell a lot about the character's personality based on how she does their voice. I was also impressed with her ability to make you forget that this is a female narrator doing voices for mostly male characters, because none of them sound like a woman doing a man's voice. With Roarke in particular you forget it isn't really a man talking, and the way she handles his accent is nothing short of brilliant, giving him just a hint of an Irish brogue when he's talking normally and calmly, but thicker and rougher when he gets upset or angry just the way a real person would.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I certainly felt the often raw emotions right along with the characters, and the story and the performance became so captivating at times that I didn't want to turn it off.Any additional comments?
I thought the book moved along at a good pace and maintained a good balance between plot progression of the murder mystery, development of the budding relationship between Eve and Roarke, and the character development of Eve, Roarke, and various of the secondary characters. I never really felt like one aspect was receiving more than its fair share of attention nor like progress in one area was stagnating due to the attention given to others. The main problems I had with this book had to do with the futuristic setting and some of the attitudes that still existed. I feel like some of the things that were apparently still an issue, like birth control, should have/would have been so commonplace and accepted by that point that no one would really think to question the morality of it.A mystery book even non-mystery readers can enjoy

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
It's just sort of meh. I was desperate to find a new series and this one always pops up as recommended. I finished the book, which was moderately interesting, but not good enough to continue with the series. The futuristic stuff is kind of fun, but the "attitude" of the protagonist is overblown and predictable.What could J. D. Robb have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
A little more depth and subtlety, please.Which character – as performed by Susan Ericksen – was your favorite?
The narrator was great, but it was all overblown. I felt like I was reading a comic book. All I needed was the "Bam!" and "Pow!" sounds. Probably the script, not the narrator.Was Naked in Death worth the listening time?
If you're in need of filler, yes. If you're looking for an engrossing, enthralling listen, no.Yawn
