In a few weeks, Tara and I will be starting at the very beginning and talking about “Naked in Death.”
Do you still go back and read it? What was it about this book that made you continue with the series? Do you have any favorite scenes? Favorite quotes?
Give us your thoughts on the book that started it all!

The first jd robbs I ever read were Origin and Innocent
I was intrigued by the characters especially Eve and Roarke, so i went back and started with
Naked. I’m still with the series and am re reading
Stolen. A few months I started re listening to the audios( yay Susan) starting of course with Naked. Starting listening from the beginning reminds how much I love this series.
Ahh Naked in Death, the one that started my love affair with this series and these books. I remember we were in Florida on holiday, found a bookshop of course…and my mum showed me the back of Naked in Death saying “this looks interesting”. It was a new book release, we had never heard of the author (didn’t realise it was Nora at the time) I was 17 years old, and thus began my life as a book nerd 
To this day I have 8 different editions of Naked in Death….including a blue lady (thanks to you girlies introducing me to them via your podcast). If I ever get in a book slump or find myself with nothing to read I’ll always turn to Naked in Death either physical book or via Saint Susan.
I just love all the first’s in this book. Eve & Roarke the first look, first touch, Eve & sumshit first interaction
I was really intrigued by mystery man Roarke, and the glimpses of the friendship between Eve and Mavis. And honestly, I’m still wondering about Mrs. Finestein!
Nora really does need to give us an update on Mrs. Finestein.
I just listened to the latest podcast reviewing the reviews of Naked in Death. A couple of things stood out to me.
One lots of people saying Eve and Roarke fell in love “to fast” I kind of felt the same thing but I did a little digging and the InDeath series was originally contracted as just a trilogy so I feel like she moved the romance along quickly in the first one so we could really get to the meat of the love affair in the next two.
Second - I’m a pretty conservative sort politically I would say and I have never thought of these books as political in any way. As far as the gun ban goes it could be said that even with that people certainly have found ways to kill each other either one on one or in mass. Anyway just my opinion. 
I actually feel like all books are political in some way. But, in this one, there are definitely politics involved in terms of the plot. But also, Nora I think did think about where the world would be by 2058 and by writing about a gun band and legalized prostitution, there is probably a bit of a political statement in there somewhere.

Maybe so.. Its possible I’m just not that deep. LOL
