In Death

Naked in Death was the first of J.D. Robb’s “In Death” series, published in 1995. It wasn’t much of a hit back then, though received acclaim from the Gothic Journal. The term they used was “a unique blend of hardcore police drama, science fiction and passionate romance”. That is one heck of a review to receive for a first book. The Paperback Forum was far less romantic in its review, as they simply labeled the book “a fantastic new detective series”. Still, it said a lot.
