In this episode, Jen is under the weather, so it’s just AJ and Tara as we discuss the many funny moments in the series that feature pets! Obviously, this includes Galahad, who is clearly the star of this series, and he has so many great moments. But also we talk [...]
In this episode, we discuss a recent post that Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb made on her blog, “Fall into the Story,” labeled “Trust Me.” In this blog post, she talks about readers who complain about things like their favorite characters not making an appearance in the last book, among other things. [...]
This episode goes off the rails before it even starts! So many pretentious assholes in these reviews! Starting with: “If you like relatively unimaginative stories peopled by exceedingly attractive, infallibly intelligent, tough female cops who are more than willing to have fairly graphic sex with their exceedingly handsome, infallibly intelligent, [...]
This episode, we will talk about the one thing we all wanted to see but never did: Eve and Roarke’s Wedding! We attempt to answer some of the questions that you all might have, including: Big or small guest list? Did Eve walk down the isle on her own, or [...]
Here we go, everyone! We are reviewing “Innocent in Death” and this book is ROUGH, and there are so many characters here who are absolute GARBAGE! The killer here is just a complete narcissistic psychopath. The first murder is brutal, not just physically, but emotionally as well. Second murder? We’re [...]
You know how with just about every “We Review the Reviews” episode we do, there’s always at least one reviewer who talks about how they don’t understand what Roarke sees in Eve because Eve is so Rude and Horrible to him all the time? In this episode, we talk about [...]
In this episode of Podcast in Death, we welcome back our friends Emily and Heidi from Romancing the Shelf! We talk with Emily and Heidi about their experience reading the first three “In Death” books for the very first time!! Those of you who are followers of our podcast may [...]
We’re back with another “We Review the Reviews”! In this episode, we’re a bit upset by people’s disrespect of Eve by calling her “Detective” rather than “Lieutenant.” We go off on a rant about how “award winning authors” (and we are skeptical about the “award winning” part) shouldn’t review books [...]
We go a bit off topic this week and talk about whether or not the “In Death” series is appropriate to give to kids? If not, what book recommendations would we have for young adults. To help us with this discussion, our special guest is Jen’s niece. She is [...]
Hey, Everyone! This week we are reviewing “Born in Death!” The one where Mavis finally has that freaking baby!! This book is about babies but it’s also about “Trust.” The first victim, Natalie, trusted the wrong person with the information that she had found discrepancies in financial data, and thereby [...]
Hey, Everyone!! It’s our 2-Year Anniversary!! And we were SO honored to have our friend Susan Ericksen as our special guest on our 2-Year Anniversary Show!! Also joining us were several of our Patrons who watched us record this episode LIVE!! In this episode we chat with Susan about the [...]
Hey, Everyone! Let’s review some reviews of “Haunted in Death!” Which, apparently, is “Weird…..not even in a cool way” because Eve Dallas + Paranormal is, we guess, not a “peanut butter + chocolate scenario” and “the weird ghost thing was just weird.” Still, some of the reviewers make good points, [...]
This week, while Tara is off doing Theater stuff, AJ and Jen decide to talk about Nora’s most recent single title release, “Nightwork.” NOTE: If you haven’t read this book yet and want to skip this episode, please do so. You won’t hurt our feelings. 😉 Right off the bat [...]
As usual, this episode goes ever so slightly off the rails a couple of times. We start out talking about how “Haunted in Death” was part of an anthology, “Bump in the Night,” where 4 writers, Nora, Mary Blayney, Ruth Ryan Langan and Mary Kay McComas each wrote a novella [...]
Hello, Everyone! We’re back with another episode of “We Review the Reviews,” but with a twist: One of the reviews is by our own AJ! And we discover what a pretentious asshole she is! Fun! The rest of the reviews are predictable: The book is “a “sex” read with a [...]
Most of you will recall that when we spoke with Listener Dana in Episode 97, she suggested we get in touch with one of her favorite authors, Allison Brennan! We did that, and we are so glad we did, because Allison is just amazing! She’s written over 40 books, been [...]
Hey Everyone!! Happy 100th Episode!! And it’s been quite a ride so far!! As many of you know, we asked our listeners to give us their favorite moments from the show, and we got tons of responses! So using those responses, we put together this show full of your favorite [...]
In this episode, we talk about “Memory in Death.” In this one, It’s Christmas time, and Eve comes face-to-face with one of her former foster parents, Trudy Lombard, who has come to town to shake Roarke down for money. Seeing Trudy again shocks Eve and throws her off her stride. [...]
This week, we talk about what our listeners say are the most shocking scenes in the series!
Editors Note: For some reason, this week there were several minor issues affecting this episode: Tara couldn’t make it, Jen was sick and AJ was having Wi-Fi issues. So part of the episode was cut off. BUT, what we did get was a really interesting discussion with listener Dana! Dana [...]
Here we are again with another We Review the Reviews episode, this time for “Origin in Death!” These reviews are odd, because there were very few One Star reviews. We do have one, but most of the reviews are 2 to 5 Stars. But never fear! There are a lot [...]
This week we talk about some of. the most controversial books of the "In Death" series and why they are so controversial.
“Origin in Death” is a book that is really jam-packed with great stuff to read! It’s got probably one of the most insane plots in this whole series, that has a lot of heavy moral questions attached to it. And in the midst of that, we get Roarke’s entire Irish [...]
Hello, Everyone! For those of you waiting for us to talk about “Brazen” on Netflix, the time is finally here!! This week AJ and Jen are by themselves and we thought it was the perfect time (since Tara really doesn’t read Nora Roberts books) to finally watch the movie and [...]
The constant back and forth insult wars that Eve and Summerset have been carrying on over the last 50+ books is a staple of the whole series. They used to do it because there was very clearly an animosity between them. But after a while, they started to actually care [...]
Here we go again with a new round of reviews! In this episode we learn: “From Dallas to Texas” is one of the best books of this series…we guess? We don’t remember reading that one. Nora has disrespected her fans and her characters with this book. This book is “Yikes. [...]
There’s no denying that Nora writes some of the best villains, and the “In Death” series has some of the very baddest of the bad. Or, as listener Melissa said: Moral Dumpster Fires! We talk about some of our favorites here, and also tackle questions like whether or not Roarke [...]
This is a LONG one, everyone! It's also been a LONG week, so, this review of "Abandoned in Death" is kind of all over the place. This is a bit of a departure for Nora, and at times seems more like a traditional Nora Roberts than a J.D. Robb. But, we [...]
As we said on the last “We Review the Reviews” episode for “Visions in Death,” those reviews were really boring. HOWEVER, the reviews for “Survivor in Death” were anything but boring. This book stirred some feelings up in people! For example: This book is “ersatz” porn. A trashy romance novel [...]
Our last episode was a LOT. So, with this episode, we decided to make it easy on ourselves and talk about some of our recent Facebook threads. So, here’s a rundown of what we talk about: Booze at Disneyland The Beginning of Loyalty is Boring Remember When: Soooo Polarizing Beans [...]
