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 with Feeney? Or Mavis?

What music played when she walked down the isle?

Did they write their own vows? Do some spin on a Celtic ceremony?

Was the seating Brides Side and Groom’s Side or everyone sitting wherever they wanted?

Was there a sit down dinner or a buffet? Or both? What kind of food did they serve?

What song did they dance their first dance to?

Was there a bouquet toss? A garter toss?

Thank you to Jeanne Topic for picking the topic this week, and to all of you who gave us your thoughts.

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!

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 almost ready to cheer about it because the victim is also human garbage.

Of course, Magdelana enters the picture with her fakeness, and is an evil bitch and just TRASH! Eve is not handling her feelings of insecurity well and Roarke reacts to that by being insulted and swinging his dick around. Sorry, but we think he deserves that punch at the end.

Also, Summerset being 100% Team Eve is really nice to see, and the short time we spend with Mavis is absolute gold! She is a rock solid friend for Eve and we love to see it!!

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 remember that on episode #74 from back in November of 2021, we spoke with Emily and Heidi after they read the Nora Roberts/JD Robb crossover book, "Remember When."

On this episode, they tell us that while they are reading every Nora Roberts title in order of release and would have most likely read "Remember When" at some point, they didn't really plan on reading any other JD Robb titles. BUT... after reading "Remember When" and coming onto our show, they both decided that they really needed to at least read the first three JD Robb titles. (Naked in Death, Glory in Death, Immortal in Death).

As we here at Podcast in Death expected, they LOVED them! Emily has even gotten her mom hooked on the series (we now really need to record an episode with Emily's mom) and also recommended them to several members of her true crime book club!

We get Emily and Heidi's overall impressions of the first three books, the differences between Nora Roberts and JD Robb, their impressions of Mavis and Peabody.

Then they announce that they have plans to read the next two books in the series (Rapture in Death and Ceremony in Death). This will happen once they meet their Patreon "Stretch Goal" so, if you listen to Romancing the Shelf, go to their Patreon page and become a patron so that they can start reading some more books in this series!

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'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 by actual award winning and bestselling authors and use their review to hawk their own books. It's just incredibly tacky.

We will probably say this again in other episodes, but Nora (or anyone else, for that matter) doesn't need to explain why she set her books in the future. She doesn't need a reason, there doesn't even have to be a "purpose." It's just where she decided to set her book.

A few of these reviewers don't understand how Eve doesn't know anything about baby showers or how to plan a baby shower. But we feel like many people (Including some of the hosts of this podcast) would have no clue how to plan and throw a baby shower, so, we don't see this as unbelievable. It also seems like many people fail to see how much Eve did participate in the planning and execution of the baby shower, which is frustrating.

Next, let's face it...some rich people are "baddies." Some aren't. Not every rich person in this series is a "baddie." Some are good people. Some not very rich people in this series are "Baddies." In short, Nora is really an equal opportunity "baddie" writer.

Also, Roarke is Rich, and people need to stop complaining about that. Roarke being rich is a fun contrast to Eve's not being rich, and having a problem indulging herself with stuff that Roarke's riches can buy. It's supposed to be an enjoyable contrast between Eve and Roarke. Can't we just enjoy things??

Some reviewers need to be more like the reviewer we have that still enjoyed this book even though Roarke wasn't her favorite, because they recognize that you can't win them all.

Having said all that about Roarke, we do recognize Roarke is kind of a dick.

More complaints about too much sex and too much swearing.

We have one reviewer who is dreading the continuing appearances of Mavis' "Loinfruit." We love Bella, but we kind of do understand this person. Especially when they said Eve and Roarke go together like Macaroni and Cheese.

We love reviewers who understand Eve and her character growth.

We also kind of agree with the reviewer who said they want to kiss Susan Ericksen on the lips for her stellar narration. But we will refrain from doing so, especially in the middle of a pandemic.

Enjoy, Everyone!

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 [...]
