If you don't care for Nora Roberts BUT love Mystery/Dark Thrillers with a side of romance and a dash of comedy - then I think you'll love J.D. Robb's ... In Death series written by Nora Roberts alter ego.
I won't go into the details of the books but will tell you this: Superb character development, continuity of the story line (which means you really need to read the books in order although they can stand alone) is top notch, the relationships that are webbed and weaved together throughout each page are phenomenal and let's the reader 'really' get to know the characters.
Here's a list of all the books in order (I'm leaving off the 'In Death' part):
1 Naked
2 Glory
3 Immortal
4 Rapture
5 Ceremony
6 Vengence
7 Holiday
7.5 Midnight in Death (Silent Night Anthology)
8 Conspiracy
9 Loyalty
10 Witness
11 Judgement
12 Betrayal
12.5 Interlude in Death (Out of this World Anthology)
13 Seduction
14 Reunion
15 Purity
16 Portrait
17 Imitation
17.5 Remember When (1st part by Nora, 2nd by JD Robb - stories are connected)
18 Divided
19 Visions
20 Survivor
21 Origin
22 Memory
22.5 Haunted in Death (Bump in the Night Anthology)
23 Born
24 Innocent
24.5 Eternity in Death (Dead in the Night Anthology)
25 Creation

Pretty darn good for such a shorty. Loved it all the same.
Short story, only 88 pages total. They used to give these away to get people interested. Now they charge.
Eve and Roarke Rock!! :)
This is a short book but still packed with suspense. A Quick fast read.
At a police conference off-planet, Lieutenant Eve Dallas is forced to forsake duty to take down a rogue ex-cop -- and save the man she loves. Most enjoyable.

Eve and Roarke get to go on vacation. To bad to job goes with her.
A "no frills" Eve Dallas. Kinda fun tho; it took me about an hour and a quarter to read it.
Interlude is an 88-page novella in quick-moving Robb style.
This story was originally part of an anthology....I was able to find it as a single book....set on one of Roarke's resort planets...Eve has to find out who is after Roarke and herself. Very good book...part of the In Death Series.
another great part of the series, although a short one. eve finds herself defending her husband against one of her own who has gone after him for revenge.
great as usual! This is a really good series.
I love powerful Lt. Eve Dallas and how the complex New York City crimes are solved. If you don't wanna bite her husband, don't read these books! Nora Robert's best writing is as JD Robb in this "In Death" series of some 30+ stories to date. I collect all of the JD Robb books, but skip the Roberts, whose stories are not as tight as those about Lt. Eve Dallas - ass kicker! If the future of New York City is like this, I fear these futuristic killers who are sneaky and complex.
Great read!
This is listed as 12.5 in the series, but it needs to be either 11.5 or 13.5.
Book 13 (Seduction in Death) picks up right after Book 12 (Betrayal in Death) ends, with Roarke in Ireland attending the funeral of a friend.

Wow! What can I say about the "In Death Series." Nora
Roberts is an exciting writer and I have enjoyed this book very much and all of the others, too. Her sense of things to come in the future are amazing and a lot of them have come true over the last 20 years. Karen M.
