J.D. Robb Reading Order
To the media, a murder pales in comparison to the theft of famously stolen missing jewels, but not to Lieutenant Eve Dallas. In Stolen in Death Eve finds herself hunting a killer amid the rich and covetous. It’s a world her husband, Roarke, is intimately familiar with which is both helpful and causes some concern for Eve.
Sixty-two full-length novels into the In Death series and I never get tired of reading about Eve and Roarke. While Stolen in Death started out a bit slow for me, things picked up in the latter half of the story as the pieces of the puzzle started coming together. I like it best when Eve’s personal life is affected by the case at hand, which happens in this book. It’s not a spoiler to say that the original thief of the missing gems all those years ago was Roarke – he was, after all, the best in the business. What I liked is seeing how Eve handled it, how she balanced her love and loyalty to Roarke with her duty and commitment to justice. This story takes her into the world of thieves, private auctions, and more. I enjoyed seeing so much of the squad come together on this one. While it did take a bit for the story to pick up steam, when it did it was absolutely engaging.
J.D. Robb doesn’t miss and this latest entry in the In Death series will be wonderfully satisfying to Eve and Roarke fans. The case is interesting, the personal stakes even more so, and the characters I enjoy so much continue to entertain.

A blow to the head with a block of amethyst has left multibillionaire Nathan Barrister dead—while nearby, a vault, its door ajar, sits filled with priceless paintings, jewelry, and other treasures. Lieutenant Eve Dallas’s husband, Roarke—who misspent his youth in Ireland as a scrappy thief—recognizes at least two stolen pieces among the hoard. The crime scene suggests a burglar caught in the act. But only one item seems to be missing.
Then it’s revealed that the vault had actually belonged to the victim’s late father—and no one in the household knew it was there until a recent remodeling project exposed it. To protect the family name and business, they explain to Eve, they’d been looking for a way to return the ill-gotten gains anonymously and avoid the police. But now the police are all over their elegant house, and have a bigger, bloodier mystery to solve.
By all accounts, Nathan Barrister was a good man, a generous employer, a devoted husband and father. As for his father—he clearly had secrets. Now it’s up to Eve and her team to find out if those secrets got Nathan killed—and if it was a crime of passion or revenge.
