Glory in Death

Glory in Death (1995) by J.D. Robb. Pathetically overwrought mystery-romance from Nora Roberts, who writes the "... in Death" series under the pseudonym of J.D. Robb. The heroine, Eve Dallas, is a detective who does her police work in New York ... 50 years in the future! Her fabulously wealthy boyfriend, Roarke, makes love to her with mad passion in sex scenes that are downright embarrassing for their purple prose. Never has a fictional detective swooped up to so many orgasms in the course of pursuing her perp. Grade: D
