Naked in Death begins my favorite series of books. To be honest, it probably only deserves a 4 star rating, but as the series as a whole deserves 5 stars and since Naked in Death starts it off, well, ... it gets the bump up. For those of you reading J.D. Robb for the first time, don't stop with the first book. It took a couple more books for the series to settle into itself. Enjoy!
