In this episode, we talk to Listener Melanie. Several weeks ago, Melanie sent us an email…complete with a spreadsheet…outlining the ways she felt we may have mischaracterized Summerset as a Dick. It was a really interesting conversation, and Melanie made several really good points about both Summerset and Eve’s behavior [...]
In this episode, we take a look at the contentious relationship with her vehicles. In discussing this topic, we’ve decided our new head canon is that Roarke keeps a mechanic on site, in an apartment in his garage. I mean…why not? Eve’s main problem is that she is one of [...]
Hey, Everyone! This episode was a mess! We recorded about an hour at first without realizing we weren’t recording!!! So, what you will hear this week is a “Take Two.” As with our episode where we reviewed “Encore in Death,” with this one, if you haven’t read that book yet, [...]
In this episode we talk about our (and your) favorite iconic Eve and Roarke scenes. These are those scenes that really encapsulate what Eve and Roarke are all about as a couple. We asked this question on Facebook and Instagram, and among the very iconic Eve and Roarke scenes mentioned [...]
In this episode, we review the latest “In Death” installment, “Encore in Death.” So, if you haven’t read this one yet, you may want to skip this episode. Our overall impressions of this book are that it’s good, but not one of the best of the series. We liked it, [...]
In this episode, AJ and Tara discuss the various members of Eve’s Bullpen that have been mentioned in the books so far. In going through the list from our Wiki, we realize how many people have been mentioned only once but never mentioned again. But also, how many names have [...]
We’re going to be honest and say that the reviews for this book were a bit weird. Most of the one or two star reviews were from people super pissed because they bought “Time of Death” which was a compilation (NOT copulation) of three of Nora’s previously released novellas. The [...]
Hi, Everyone! The past couple of weeks have been rough on all of your hosts, so we pulled out another one of our “emergency” episodes to play for you all. We have already given you what we think Eve and Roarke’s Enneagram Types would be (Both are 8) and this [...]
This week we are reviewing “Ritual in Death”! This book is a novella that was originally part of the “Suite 606” anthology which included novellas by J.D. Robb, Mary Blayney, Ruth Ryan Lanagan and Mary Kay McComas. Though we’ve had several novellas before and after this one, the one thing [...]
We’re back with We Review the Reviews! This time for “Salvation in Death.” Many of the old standards make an appearance in this episode including: Nora has a Ghostwriter (because an actual LIBRARIAN said so!) Too much Sex/Sex scenes are pointless Too much bad language (but also somehow not as [...]
In this episode, we talk about all the “Creative Threats” that Eve has given to different people in the series. We love them, but we do think there are less of them lately, or else they’re a bit softer? We wonder if maybe Nora has decided to back off on [...]
For this week’s episode, we are reviewing “Salvation in Death,” and the three of us all have very different reactions to this book! First, AJ has a little rant, because she doesn’t understand why Eve finds Father López so compelling. She also doesn’t understand Eve’s easy acceptance of religion/Catholicism. And, [...]
Hey, Everyone! Because of the holidays being so crazy, we pulled out this episode that we recorded a while back and were keeping in reserve for just this kind of a moment. Several weeks ago, we played the episode that we originally did for our “Briefing Room” where we figured [...]
This week we’re talking about our favorite party moments! Tara’s is the time at Mavis’ party in “Rapture in Death” where Roarke assaults Jess Barrow because Jess Barrow is a dick. AJ’s favorite party moment is when Eve and Roarke go to Nadine’s housewarming in “Connections in Death” where Nadine [...]
Happy Holidays, Everyone! This episode is dropping on Christmas Eve 2022, and while it’s not really Christmas themed, we hope you like it as much as any of the presents you might be receiving this year. For this episode, we talk to listener Kate Beckett (No, not THAT Kate Beckett) [...]
We’re back with more “We Review the Reviews!” This time, we are reviewing the reviews of “Strangers in Death.” There were a couple of things that people really hated about this book: People feel like Nora “plagiarized” Hitchcock with this book. People feel like “Eve Dallas is a total heartless [...]
Hi, Everyone! In this week’s 2+ hour episode, Jen and AJ talk about Eve’s nightmares. As you all know, this whole series literally starts with Eve coming out of a nightmare, so it stands to reason that nightmares are a central plot point for this series. The dreams start out [...]
Hi, Everyone! This week we are talking about “Strangers in Death,” Nora’s homage to “Strangers on a Train.” It’s an interesting book with some really great character interactions. AJ suggests that the main theme for this book is “payback.” Paying back a debt, or owing someone for services rendered. The [...]
In this episode, we recorded this during Thanksgiving week here in the United States, and every American knows that the Friday after Thanksgiving is always “Black Friday,” which is the worst (or best) retail day of the year, depending on your perspective. Both AJ and Tara hate shopping, so we [...]
Those of you familiar with this series will know that each of the books starts with two opening quotes that have something to do with the plot of the book. If you love the opening quotes, or if you have never really read them, so don’t know about them at [...]
Several good reviews for this book! Like…this novella about a vampire felt lifeless? Also, the whole story is “Weird as Fuck.” More “Nora doesn’t know how to describe the future.” There are so many readers who gave this book two stars just because the book is too short!! We don’t [...]
This week we had planned a different episode topic, but life often interferes, and that happened with this episode. AJ and Jen had already known that Tara had theater and couldn’t be with us this week, but then, unfortunately, Jen got sick! So, what we decided to do is to [...]
In this episode, we talk about “Eternity in Death,” which is a novella originally released as part of the “Dead of Night” Anthology. In this story, Eve is dealing with the death of a young socialite, Tiara Kent (who bears a striking resemblance to Paris Hilton). Tiara looks to have [...]
Here we go, everyone, with our We Review the Reviews episode for "Desperation in Death" by J.D. Robb! Since this is such a new book, there's not the amount of reviews to choose from that we have with other titles. Still, we find some doozies.
As we recorded this episode, Nora Roberts had just celebrated her birthday! So in honor of that, we decided to get to know Nora a little bit by reading some of the Stupid Questions she was asked for years over at ADWOFF. Some of the questions we talk about are: [...]
In this episode of Podcast in Death we are going to be reviewing the latest book by J.D. Robb: “Desperation in Death.” So, if you haven’t read this one yet, you may want to skip over this episode, because the book WILL be spoiled for you! Also, we know that [...]
This week on the podcast, we talk about Eve’s Fear of Tech with listener Michelle Kenyon! We go through several instances of Eve having issues with things like her cars, computers and vending machines. We all think that Roarke has programmed her computer apps to either help her work more [...]
Here we go, everyone! A really bonkers “We Review the Reviews” for “Creation in Death! It starts off with someone accusing Nora of using Eve to “Denegrate Being a Female” with this series. Next we learn that Nora cannot put any emotions into her characters? Wut?? Then someone unironically talks [...]
In this episode, we talk about some of the discussions we have had on our Facebook page lately. First, we discuss the news story about how Nora Roberts contributed $50,000 to a library in Michigan. Next, we talk about some of your ideas for Podcast Episodes. Dana has updated the [...]
This is a very procedure-heavy book! There is a LOT to talk about, including the very controversial (for some) ending. Because of this, we’re bringing you a 2 and a half hour episode! In this one, Eve finds herself faced with a murder that looks very familiar: the victim has [...]
