> Rosie, I know you like mysteries, and a little science fiction --- may I recommend the J. D. Robb In Death series?

I may want to check that out, too. I won't ask you to give the plot away, but may I ask, what type of mystery is it?--is there any other writer's work you would compare it to? One reason I ask is because my Mom likes certain types of mysteries also and I'm wondering if it's something she'd like. She used to be into Agatha Christie and Nero Wolfe but lately she's more into true crime kind of stuff along "CSI" lines. Myself, I tend to like Dashiell Hammett and film noir type of stuff.

Not exactly mysteries, but police procedurals featuring New York Police and Security Department's Lieutenant Eve Dallas and the oh-so-sexy and mysterious multi-gazillionaire Roarke (one name only). They're set in the year 2050, and are a great ride. But they are gritty crime novels --- lots of blood, gore, death and sex.
